Tuning Fork Therapy

BOOK SERVICE HERE

WHAT IS TUNING FORK THERAPY? Sound healing is based on the principle that everything in the universe is comprised of energy, frequencies, and vibrations, and that specific sounds, vibrations, and frequencies can be used to balance and harmonize this energy inside each of us. Tuning Fork Therapy uses tuning forks (non-invasive acoustic instruments) to produce these vibrations and frequencies when activated at specific areas on and/or around the body. In this way, tuning forks are used as a form of “sonic acupuncture” to help break up and release stuck energy, allowing the body to heal and function more effectively over time. 

There are two types of tuning forks - weighted and unweighted. When struck, a tuning fork’s tines start vibrating a couple hundred times per second, transmitting powerful waves of vibration in the air tuned to a specific frequency. With unweighted tuning forks, these back-and-forth vibrations disrupt the air molecules surrounding the fork and get processed by our brains via our eardrums as gentle humming sounds of varying pitches. With weighted tuning forks, the vibrations enter the individual directly where the fork is placed on the body to help unblock the energetic pathways (known as meridians) where the body’s energy naturally flows.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Layers of tension build up when we experience stress or trauma or repress emotions without honoring and processing these experiences. These low vibrations can become so dense they manifest emotionally and physically as pains, illnesses, and unhealthy mindsets. During a session, I place activated tuning forks on and/or around the body to spread strategically selected frequencies and vibrations throughout the body, using the Meridian System and intuition as guides to balance the body’s natural healing mechanisms and chakras (energy centers). 

Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes and you remain fully clothed while laying down comfortably on a massage table. In most cases, you will be laying on both your back and stomach at different times, but the session is adaptable if you are unable to lay down in one of these positions. If this is the case, please let me know in advance of our session. Before your session, you will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire to provide information critical to customizing the healing session to meet your physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual needs. Based on these responses, activated tuning forks are placed on and/or around your body in specific locations to maximize healing potential. Sessions conclude with a summary and recommendations for independent healing activities based on results.

LOCATION: This service is available either on a come-to-you basis or an in-person appointment at the Holistic Health Collective (3368 Beltline Ct, Grand Rapids, MI 49525). Upon booking, we will work together to determine the best option for you and your comfort.
