What is SoundBar therapy?
Both scientists and mystics recognize that everything is made up of vibration. Healthy body systems regulate to maintain balanced vibration and wellbeing. When our emotional or energetic systems are blocked or low, this could lead to dis-ease. During a SoundBar session, Sarah tunes into your systems’ unique needs and creates a signature musical therapy, just for you. She mindfully uses the violin, viola, voice and other instruments to channel music (not just isolated intervals and frequencies) to support the body to rebalance itself.
What is the scientific evidence?
Quantum physics reveals that atoms are made of subatomic particles, which continually vibrate at certain frequencies. Actually, at the quantum level, what we think of as a quantum particle is really that particle’s vibration. Everything vibrates at its own ‘home’ vibration. Negative thoughts and suppressed emotions vibrate at relatively low levels. Contrastingly, unifying thoughts and pleasant or peaceful emotions vibrate at higher levels.
Sympathetic resonance
In science, sympathetic resonance is when the vibrations in one object produce vibrations in another. For example, if you strike one C key on the piano, one can hear all the other Cs being activated to vibrate. Similarly, Sarah intentionally produces specific high-level frequencies on her instruments to invoke resonance in the client’s body towards balance.
It’s like that well-known phenomenon— when multiple pendulum clocks are put in the same room, sound pulses travel through the wall from clock to clock. These pulses interfere with the swings of the pendulums, eventually causing them to synchronize.
The rhythms and tides of your brainwaves, organs, bones and cellular systems learn to operate in harmony with each other, allowing for possible restoration, relief, and increased systematic efficiency.
Emotion and dis-ease
We all have experienced unpleasant interactions with people in uncomfortable, confronting, fearful, or angry manners. If these occasions are in fact, occasional, we know how to regulate and stay in balance. However, if these become frequent or daily, our bodily systems would eventually reflect the repercussions. The same applies at the vibrational level. Our day-to-day thoughts affect the efficiency of our bodily systems. ‘High level’ thoughts such as joy and gratitude support the gut and digestion, cognitive speed, and heart expansion. However, ‘low level’ thoughts actually contract the gut, slow circulation, and can stress the heart. If one has not allowed free expression of emotion, over time, trapped emotions could stagnate in the body and cause sickness or limited well-being.
Music from cell to soul
Besides receiving the scientific benefits of sound healing, you will experience a colorful, inner soundscape on the violin, viola, voice, and drum, while Sarah holds your highest good in focus. Intuitive, rejuvenating healing delivered on the soul level.
Uniqueness of the Violin & Voice
Physics acknowledges that every note struck activates an entire family of other notes called overtones. The violin and viola carry some of the highest number of overtones, exuding a depth and harmony in every note. These vibrational structures are also present in you and resonate when prompted. Music’s resonance can enhance your unique, existing operational system to promote balance and alignment, and relieve stress— a massage from the inside out.
How is this different from a sound bath?
Popular sound baths use instruments such as gong and brass or crystal bowls to induce relaxation. While beneficial, SoundBar goes further. An actual musical composition is consciously improvised by a highly-skilled professional musician and intuitive on violin, viola, and voice. Artistry combines with sensitivity to deliver whatever powerful music, not only sound, will serve your greatest good in that moment— whether that be alleviation from stress or physical discomfort, ancestral healing or energetic field balancing .

Expertise
This modality draws on over 30 years of violin training in the US, music composing, improvisation, international music teaching and healing expertise.
“I have been to countless sound baths as a participant. Truthfully, I’ve noticed that 95% of them do not have awareness that they are at times creating dissonant sounds, nor do they know how to harmonically resolve them. Creating tension is sometimes necessary, but without harmonic awareness or the necessary depth of hearing, these dissonances remain active and take hold in the body." -Sarah
