Shanti Sounds

Sound baths and retreats for people and their animals

A resonant, grounding experience that helps you and your companion animal release stress and return to a regulated nervous system.

Nervous System Regulation People and Animals On-Site or Retreat Groups Welcome
My story

Sound that guides the body back to rest

Stress lives in the body, and it lives in our animals too. Sound baths use soothing frequencies to guide both people and their companion animals out of fight-or-flight and back into rest.

Shanti Sounds brings this work to living rooms, wellness organizations, corporate teams, horse sanctuaries, and animals who serve and work. The same nervous system regulation that calms a dog can steady a herd, a team, or a room full of people who needed permission to exhale.

An intimate session for you and your companion animal in the comfort of your own space.

Shanti means peace in Sanskrit. Sound work is my hollow-bone practice: crystal bowls, gong, chimes, drum, Native American flute, and voice, held so a nervous system can actually downshift.

Kind words

Voices from the bowls and the drum

“I was visiting from LA and wanted something uplifting and entertaining. I discovered Shanti Sounds on Eventbrite, took a chance, bought a ticket and went. I especially liked the Native American drumming. Very different.”

David, sound engineer

“My Shanti Sounds experience was out of this world transforming. Intergalactic!”

Lynn

“I hired Shanti Sounds to perform at my very first Wyoming Wilderness Wellness Retreat. Shanti was easy to work with, dependable, and the performance went above my high standards. The sound bath was the best I have ever experienced, and the drumming literally changed people's lives for the better.”

Becky McCullough, retreat host

Good to know

Sound bath questions

Do the animals stay for the whole session?
Animals are free to come and go. Most settle quickly once the sound begins, and many choose to rest nearby for the entire session.
Where do sessions take place?
In your home, at your workplace, at a sanctuary, or at a retreat setting. I travel throughout the Salt Lake valley and beyond with a travel fee.
Is this a medical treatment?
No. Sound baths are a wellness experience meant to support rest and nervous system regulation, not a substitute for medical or veterinary care.
