At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer weekly soundbath sessions led by the highly skilled Poppy Ansell. This restorative practice combines sound therapy and mindfulness to help you unwind, reduce stress, and enhance your mental wellbeing.
What is a soundbath?
A soundbath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that uses therapeutic sound frequencies to promote relaxation and healing. During a session, participants lie down comfortably while being enveloped in soothing sounds produced by instruments such as gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, and chimes. The vibrations help balance the mind, body, and spirit, leaving you refreshed and recharged.

A brief introduction to sound therapy.
A relaxing meditation to settle the body and mind.
A 45-minute immersive sound experience.
Time to reflect and rehydrate after the session.

What instruments are played during soundbath?
Poppy utilises a variety of instruments in her sound healing practice, including Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, and drums. Each instrument is selected based on the desired outcome of the session, as well as the specific techniques employed during play.
In her approach, Poppy emphasises the importance of tailoring sessions to the individual, recognising that the choice of instrument significantly influences the effectiveness of sound therapy. Sound healing itself has a rich history, having been utilised across various cultures for purposes such as healing, meditation, and religious ceremonies. Recently, it has gained increased recognition and popularity.
