1-on-1 Sessions

Your body has an electromagnetic field, or biofield, and it vibrates with its own resonance. During the assessment phase with a himalayan singing bowl, I listen for areas where your energy is blocked, overwhelmed, or out of balance, which shows up as areas of resistance and dissonance in your biofield.

I take the information I gather from the assessment and then work to balance that energy through the rest of the session. Bringing your biofield into harmony releases pain, tension, stuck emotions and trauma.

Sometimes the instruments I use are purposely chosen because they’re known to help with a specific complaint, such as tuning forks for joint pain, and other times I’m intuitively guided to choose an instrument. Each session is unique and based on what I assess in your energy that day, and on your stated or privately held intention. I can also incorporate reiki into your session.

Sound healing can help anybody. There is help for what you’re feeling! Many people who have been unable to find relief with conventional methods have found improved health, decreased pain, and easing of depression and anxiety with sound healing.

Do you feel stuck? Are you actively working to heal but you’re still caught in a cycle of low energy and negativity? Sound healing can help you become energetically balanced so you can finally heal - mind, body and soul.

  • 1-on-1 sessions take place at Andrea’s studio located in the Cedar Rapids Area. Address information will be shared when session booked.

  • When you arrive, you’ll have a chance to talk about any areas of concern you have, and share your intention for your session (only if you wish, this is not necessary)! Andrea is energetically guided by your intention, whether or not you say it out loud.

    You’ll lie fully clothed on a massage table, typically with eyes closed, while Andrea plays sound healing instruments around you. Sometimes, if intuitively guided to do so, Andrea will place an instrument against your body to impart the full benefit of the vibrations. You can decline this if you’re not comfortable with it.

  • Sessions with Andrea are intuitive — they start with intentionality. What is your goal for the session? Pain relief? To relax and release some things? Trauma you want to work on? It starts there, and then there’s an assessment phase. Her goal is to have you be more balanced energetically, to be at a more level playing field so you can facilitate your own healing. She helps you toward a more stable emotional state that will help you face those things you’re working on.

    How she does this depends on the day, the person, and the imbalance. Some people have a need for metal instruments, others have a third eye or throat chakra imbalance and need more singing bowls. Andrea is very intuitively guided by spirit to choose what will most help you release whatever resistance or blocks you’re experiencing.

  • Absolutely. Many people utilize sound healing, reiki, yoga, and other holistic healing modalities alongside their conventional medical treatments. Sound healing is proven effective for pain relief, anxiety reduction, and downregulating your nervous system, and it makes an excellent complement to conventional medical care of all kinds.

    As a healthcare practitioner, Andrea brings an allopathic healthcare understanding and knowledge of anatomy, especially pulmonary anatomy, to her work, and there are complementary benefits.

    If you’ve spent a lot of time in the medical world, you recognize that there’s not always a foundation of care and wellness behind these systems. Something is missing. That’s where sound healing comes in. It works on a more subtle level. It promotes deep wellness by balancing your energy so your body can heal. Your body was made to heal itself, and sound healing therapy helps facilitate that healing.
