Sound has the power to shift energy, release emotion, and create deep states of relaxation. At The Healing Collective, we offer sound healing in North and South Carolina as a transformative tool for emotional and somatic recovery.
What is sound healing?
Sound healing is an ancient practice rooted in the idea that everything in the universe vibrates. Each organ, emotion, and memory carries a frequency. When the body or spirit is out of balance, sound can help restore harmony.
This practice includes tools like:
- Singing bowls
- Tuning forks
- Gongs
- Voice work and chanting
These frequencies create gentle vibrations that encourage the body and nervous system to return to a state of calm.
Sound healing and trauma recovery
When trauma is stored in the body, it often shows up as muscle tension, fatigue, chronic pain, or emotional overwhelm. Talk therapy is vital, but it may not always reach these embodied layers.
Sound bypasses the thinking mind and meets you on a sensory level. As your body absorbs vibrations, it begins to soften. Breath deepens. Emotions start to move.
This type of healing works especially well for:
- Emotional release without having to speak
- Reducing physical symptoms of anxiety or grief
- Helping the nervous system shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest
A somatic doorway to your inner child
Many of the wounds we carry began in childhood. When we engage in inner child healing, we reconnect with the younger parts of ourselves that still carry fear, loneliness, or unmet needs.
Sound healing supports this by creating a nurturing environment where your body feels safe enough to remember and release. Gentle tones act like a balm for these vulnerable parts, encouraging trust and connection.
Through this work, clients often:
- Gain clarity about long-held emotional patterns
- Develop deeper compassion for themselves
- Reclaim a sense of innocence, creativity, and worthiness
The science of vibration and regulation
Research shows that certain frequencies can reduce cortisol levels, stimulate the vagus nerve, and support nervous system regulation. In other words, sound healing can help you shift from chronic stress to embodied calm.
This is especially powerful for those experiencing:
- PTSD or complex trauma
- Chronic overthinking or dissociation
- High sensitivity or sensory overload
Pairing sound work with other somatic tools—like movement, breathwork, or EMDR—amplifies the results and creates sustainable change.
What to expect from a session
You don’t have to be a musician—or even understand the process—to benefit from sound healing. Your body already knows how to respond.
With Stacey Surratt, our Music Therapist at The Healing Collective, you can expect:
- A calm, grounded presence
- A safe space to rest and receive
- Intuitive use of instruments based on your needs
Stacey provides both individual sessions and group sound healing events across North Carolina and South Carolina.
Sound healing as reparenting
For many, childhood meant learning to ignore the body’s messages. Over time, we disconnect from hunger, sadness, excitement—even intuition. Sound reawakens this inner knowing.
As part of the reparenting process, sound therapy helps you:
- Listen to your inner voice
- Reclaim joy and play
- Experience stillness without guilt
It’s a way to offer yourself what you may have missed: gentleness, attunement, presence.
A gentle, powerful addition to your healing
Sound healing is more than relaxation—it’s restoration. It provides:
- Relief without words
- Safe access to deep emotion
- Somatic integration of past experiences
When combined with trauma therapy or inner child work, sound healing can accelerate emotional release and nervous system repair.
