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, an Acutonics Practioner and Sound Therapist with a passion to help and heal those who enter her treatment room. Donnie offers treatments to both humans and pets.

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.

What People Are Saying

“I received three sessions of sound healing to ease pain in my lower back. Each incredible session was so relaxing with the sounds and vibrations from the turning forks. I went away feeling cleansed, relaxed and most definitely healed. I highly recommend this ancient technique, thank you to much”

- Emma, Cumbria

“I was suffering from severe anxiety and PTSD after an accident some months ago.  I was recommended Acutonics through a friend and found Soakency.    After my treatment with Donnie I felt for the first time in months, like my old self.  Its was the first time I had experienced Acutonics and was completely impressed at how powerful a medicine the tuning forks are .”

- Annabelle, Northumberland

“A powerful holistic approach to healing not just for the body but for my mental health.  Thanks for helping with my insomnia and making me feel so welcome and at home”

— Lucy, Scotland

I have suffered most of my adult life with small sandstone size stones in my kidneys. Sometimes they get discarded naturally, but other times they accumulate, which cause very painful kidneys and lower back pain. This happened this year but after two treatments of Acutonics from Donnie they worked their way out with little problem. I know where to go now. Thanks Donnie

- Johnna, Crete, Greece

“Not many folk can make you feel fully at ease but Donnie has an uncanny knack of just doing that immediately!  I was sceptical about sound healing at first, however after 2 sessions with Soakency my mood, my stiff lower back and general well being has been given a huge uplift and I have booked another session with Donnie”

— Greg, Scotland

Due to my mobility issues and my old age, Donnie agreed to visit me at my home with her Acutonics forks.  I was delighted with the results and felt more eased up with my limbs and very happy and as an OAP she gave me a huge discount too, thank you Soakancy!
