About Soakency and Sound Healing

SOAKENCY SOUND HEALING is located on the border of Cumbria and Scotland in an idyllic part of the UK. Our treatment room is set up in an 18th Century cottage surrounded by trees, wildlife and a babbling river.

SOAKENCY was set up by Donnie, her therapy is based on the Acutonics Sound Healing Method. Donnie also holds space for Sound Journeys within her treatment room for either for 1 or 2 people and also to the local community using gongs, Tibetan singing bowls and a plethora of other soothing instruments. She carries an authentic passion to help and heal those who enter her treatment room. Donnie also offers Acutonics treatments to our furry friends - dogs.

The name SOAKENCY was chosen as a play on phonetics - SOAK AND SEE - imagine bathing in sound and seeing oneself heal through the application of sound on and through the body.

Sound Healing is the use of instruments to change the balance of the body from dis-ease or dis-harmony to ease and harmony. A person who practices Sound Healing makes use of the vibrations that instruments create to initiate a healing response from the body. When placed on the body, the vibrations from tuning forks, hand chimes, or other sound tools like singing bowls, set up sound waves that travel through the body. Because the human body is made up of roughly 70% water, sound waves easily travel through like ripples in a pond. These ripples can break up physical blocks like tight muscles, or emotional blocks like stuck feelings.

The goal of Sound Healing is to use vibrational frequencies specifically attuned to promote relaxation. If you have ever felt overstimulated or over-stressed by a harsh or chaotic environment, think about how good it feels when you step away from that jarring stimulus and replace it with something soothing. Sound waves, provided by sound tools applied directly to the body, can be a powerful agent in creating this transformation. When your body begins to relax, the healing process can begin.
