SouMa is short for 'sound Massage'
Sound Healing & Massage Therapy: A Powerful Pair
Imagine a skilled therapist; additionally a biomechanist, melding healing touch with the vibrational resonance of sound.
That's what Souma is all about!
What is Vibrational Resonance?
Everything in life vibrates to its own natural rhythm —sand, strings, the tiniest cells in your body. In physics, when an outside vibration matches that rhythm, resonance happens. The energy transfer is highly efficient- effortless and the natural vibration strengthens. In the body, resonance feels like coming back in tune with yourself. Stress releases, cells realign, muscles relax, pain alleviates and rhythm is restored.
Vibrational resonance is both science and art. The meeting point where the laws of physics and the wisdom of the body create balance, well being, and restoration.

How can you feel better in one appointment?
Applying specific frequencies (via sound, instruments, or vibration) to the body “resonates” with natural cellular frequencies. Merging the vibrational healing of Sound with the tactile qualities of massage and the knowledge of biomechanics creates a multi-sensory healing experience.

Some of souma's sound tools
Tingsha Bells
Mindfulness Meditation
Tingsha Bells
Tingsha bells affect the nervous system with high-frequency, long-resonant sound waves inducing deep relaxation. Through entrainment, brainwaves sync with the bells, shifting the mind from an active or stressed state to calm alpha & theta wave state.
Singing Bowls
Mindfulness Meditation
Tingsha Bells
Singing bowls when strummed with a mallet create a vibration. These vibrations create the sound we hear and the frequency we feel when bowls are placed on the body, aka Resonance.

Mindfulness Meditation
Resonance is the note we hear & the frequency we feel. Resonance harmonizes areas of dissonance. It's complex overtones align dissonance to create a smoothing, stable, and meditative state. Think of dissonance as "dis"ease.
Tuning Forks
Weighted Tuning Forks
Mindfulness Meditation
Tuning forks work primarily through sound waves & subtle vibrations to balance the body's energy field, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Held near the ears or in the biofield (around the body), their tones clear emotional or physical energetic blockages - areas of 'dis' ease.
Weighted Tuning Forks
Weighted Tuning Forks
Weighted Tuning Forks
Weighted tuning forks use concentrated, low-frequency vibrations to stimulate muscles, nerves, & acupressure points. When placed on the body, the strong, palpable vibrations penetrate deeply, improving circulation, releasing muscle tension, and reducing adhesions.
Chimes

Resonance from chimes has a similar sound-healing affect as other "on the body" instruments. These light, whimsical sounds activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system reducing muscle tension, lowering heart rate & encouraging a state of healing.
