PK said: If anyone should be considering having a session I can wholly recommend they do so. I had little idea of what to expect when I arranged for a session with Emily, but at its conclusion I knew I had experienced something unique and ultimately, deeply moving.
It was extraordinary how a simple percussive instrument could resonate on such a deep level, both viscerally and, dare I say, emotionally, ultimately leaving one with a sense of calm and gentle well-being.
Emily’s practice was calm and confident, so calm in fact that even though she was responsible for the sounds resonating around the room, I was barely aware of her presence save the rare occasion she spoke.
I still cannot pretend to understand how this practice works and nor do I really care – it’s good to have some mystery in life – but I do know that the rich and mellifluous sounds I experienced made me feel… good.

CM said: I experienced working with Emily over a month of weekly sound work sessions and I cannot begin to describe the depths to which this work goes. It resonates deep inside the body, bringing about a new dimension to awareness. It awakens the senses, energizes and brings deep relaxation.
Emily used a fascinating musical kit of bowls, chimes, pipes, tuning forks and drums. She has an extensive music and singing background and this seemed to inform her immense skill and sensitivity in intuiting the sounds appropriate to my particular needs.
Emily has maturity, wisdom and expansiveness and addressed the dissonance to be explored as well as providing deeply containing sounds to nourish and support the spirit. Emily is an inspiring teacher and empowered a sense of my own skill and use of my voice as an instrument, through voice work and the use of chants. This has become a source of great strength to me as I seek to make it a daily discipline.
I wholeheartedly recommend soundwork with Emily. There are so many things to reap from this work, joyfulness, personal empowerment, energy, focus, greater mental clarity… to name but a few!

WW said: I have to admit to being a bit of a non-believer in alternative therapies. It was a friend who encouraged me to give Emily a try and I have to say I was very impressed. At the start I had a very cynical feeling towards the whole thing but within minutes I could feel the waves of deep relaxation washing over me.
The combination of the sounds were amazing and some of the deeper ones felt like they were vibrating right through my body. By the end of the treatment I was totally relaxed and felt as if I’d been in an almost meditative state. I urge anyone interested in trying Sound Therapy to contact Emily, you won’t regret it.

KM said: I have recently been through treatment for breast cancer including chemotherapy and surgery. This was a tough time for me mentally and physically and so I started investigating complementary therapies to combat the stress and to help my body heal. I had not experienced sound therapy prior to this but was interested when I heard of it, as it is an entirely non invasive treatment.
During her sessions Emily uses a combination of voice, singing bowls, tuning forks and drums, amongst other instruments. She targets sounds to different areas of the body according to what she feels is needed. I have had four treatments to date and they have all been slightly different, but each time I have drifted off into a meditative state and as the hour draws to an end I find myself completely and utterly relaxed.
I liken sound therapy to having a massage from the inside. It is a truly lovely experience and I highly recommend it for reducing stress and increasing general well being.

BH said: I visited Emily initially for a series of four sessions to help with an issue I was having with my hearing. I am a musician and sound engineer and had been getting symptoms that were akin to hyperacusis and was really struggling to deal with the high volume levels at live events. I also wanted to do some general energy work to improve my sense of well being on a day to day level.
The results on both counts were both surprising and remarkable. The condition of my hearing notably improved after my first session with Emily and this improvement was cemented by the following three sessions.
This was a great relief for me but it was the long lasting sense of wellness that I came away with after each session that really made a huge difference in my life. It became evident that I had been a bit on edge for quite some time and working with Emily was one of the few things over the past few years that has significantly helped with this.
Emily’s no nonsense, down to earth and friendly attitude makes the whole experience very accessible and it is something that I intend to continue with for the foreseeable future. I recommend 100%.

EB said: I attended Emily’s mantra workshop and soundbath at a local community centre, which was very enjoyable, the highlight for me being the soundbath at the end during which Emily used a variety of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls and finished with some drumming.
I subsequently had four treatments with Emily, particularly focussing on tension in my back which had been present for nearly a year. Emily used singing bowls and tuning forks both on and off the body, and this was deeply relaxing.
I find the sound of the singing bowls feels somehow very familiar and comforting to me, and is also uplifting and fills me with joy. The tension in my back has completely resolved and I have also been able to bring about some positive changes in my life. Thank you, Emily!
