Saturday, December 6, 2025 - 2:00-4:00 PM - $77 per person

REGISTER HERE. The natural healing powers of Essential Oils and sound healing combine for this all-inclusive, hands-on opportunity to make a variety of Essential Oils-based bath/body products to keep for yourself or gift to others for the holiday season before relaxing during a soothing sound bath to help keep you balanced and aligned as we transition into a new year.

Essential Oils are the living fluid inside a plant that acts as its immune system. These fluids are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune-strengthening properties of plants. When these fluids are distilled and extracted using a highly regulated, low-heat, slow-steam process and then used topically, aromatically, or internally, they can help bring the vibrational energetic level lacking in our bodies back into balance. This is the same foundational principle of sound healing/sound baths - bringing the body, mind, and spirit back into vibrational alignment. 

To begin the experience, Lisa Makowski - a registered nurse (RN), Essential Oils distributor, and owner of Diamond Hypnosis & Holistic Services - shares her 10+ years of experience distributing, blending, and applying Essential Oils to guide you step-by-step through making natural, toxin-free products rooted in Essential Oils blends. Different oils will be mixed to create recipes that can be used for everyday needs/ailments, like Immunity, Breathe Right, Digestion, Sleepy Time, and Stress Away. During this experience, you’ll make and take:

🧴4 rollers (10 ml in each roll-on)

💧3 shower steamers

🧼2 mini bar soaps (2 oz each)

Following the make and take, Matty Makowski, a Rockford, MI-based, certified Sound Healing and Reiki Practitioner and owner of Matty Sunshine Sound Healing, guides guests on a 60-minute, deeply immersive, and full-body sound bath. During the sonic journey, Matty plays various instruments - including 8 crystal singing bowls, a Heng gong named Sunny, Tingsha cymbals, and more - that produce specific sounds, frequencies, and vibrations with the power to shift brainwaves into a deeply relaxed state. In this state, a person's innate healing abilities can work more effectively to bring them back into vibrational alignment while balancing the mind, body, and spirit. Essentially, creating an opportunity for the body to do what it’s designed to do - heal itself. A variety of pre-made Essential Oil roll-on blends will be available for guests to apply before the sound bath to help enhance their experience.
