Gong Sound Baths

Music has always played an important part in my life, from achieving grade 5 in piano as a child to noticing how music and harmonious sounds can change your mood or meet you exactly where you’re at.

"Katy hosted my first ever gong bath, and it was really amazing. During the session Katy made me feel very safe and calm, which allowed me to fully relax and soak up all the effects of the gong. The experience itself was relaxing and powerful at the same time, and I felt effects such as heightened senses, bursts of happiness and clarity, and an intense connection with the world around me for 4-5 days after the session. As a beginner into the world of gong baths I have really felt the positive effects and am so grateful to Katy for introducing this into my life!

Thank you so much!"

Why the Gong?

After attending a family folk festival in 2022, I experienced my first Gong Bath and fell in love. I was moved so much and felt a lightness and happiness about me afterwards. Talking to the woman next to me, I realised I wasn't alone in this experience.

 

A few months later, wanting to experience more Gong Baths and not being able to find any locally, I decided to attend an intensive weekend with Sheila Whittaker of the esteemed College of Sound Healing. 

 

Shortly after I bought my first gong and signed up for the year long accreditation to become a Gong Practitioner. 

 

Now as a fully qualified Gong Practitioner I love to bring the essence of the gong to you, interwoven with meditation and other instruments to help you feel deeply relaxed, de-stressed and rejuvenated. 

 

How Gong Baths Support Emotional, Physical & Spiritual Wellbeing

 

Gong baths offer more than just relaxation—they’re a deeply holistic experience that nurtures mind, body and spirit.

Emotionally, the sound & vibrations help calm the nervous system and quieten the mental chatter. Many people report feeling lighter, more balanced, and less anxious after a session. The soothing tones of the gong create a safe, nurturing space to release emotional tension and restore a sense of inner calm.

Physically, gong baths guide the body into a deeply restful state—similar to meditation or even deep sleep. This encourages the body’s natural healing processes, reduces physical tension, and helps lower stress-related symptoms like high blood pressure, fatigue, and muscle tightness. 

Spiritually, gong baths invite a deeper connection to the self and the present moment. For some, the experience can feel expansive or meditative, offering insights or a renewed sense of clarity and peace. It’s a chance to tune inwards, reconnect, and feel supported by something greater than day-to-day worries.

Whether you're looking for a moment of rest or a deeper energetic reset, gong baths can meet you right where you are.

I’m holding regular group Gong Baths in the Bradford on Avon area and 1:1 sessions in my cosy garden studio.

Client Testimonials

“I had no real idea what to expect from the gong bath session that Katy ran for me and a group of work colleagues – perhaps a relaxing hour with some interesting sounds. What I experienced was a synaesthetic perception of the audio in coloured visuals, which I’ve never had before. Astonishing! Came out of the session feeling very peaceful and refreshed. Thanks Katy!”
