Acupuncture & Sound Healing

A ritual space for acupuncture and sound healing held as a ceremony.

In this space, acupuncture is held ceremonially - an intentional practice that works not only with the body’s meridians and nervous system, but with the deeper energetic layers that shape how we feel, process, and heal.

Cacao is offered as a gentle, heart-opening plant ally to support presence, emotional attunement, and a softening into the body.

When combined with live sound singing bowls, chimes, and other harmonic instruments the system begins to shift into a more expanded internal landscape. Vibration moves through the tissues, bloodstream, and subtle energetic field, deepening stillness and allowing consciousness to settle into quieter, often unseen layers of self.

This work is therapeutic, intuitive, and transformative, an experience of healing that reaches beyond the physical into the subtle, emotional, and energetic realms.

Session flow

  • Arriving & Settling In

    You’ll be welcomed into the space and given a moment to arrive.
    If you choose, the session can begin with a serving of ceremonial cacao to help you drop into presence. Together, we’ll briefly review your health history, how you’re feeling today, and what you’d like to focus on.
    Pulse and tongue reading to help guide the direction of your treatment.

  • Acupuncture & Sound Journey

    Once you’re resting comfortably on the treatment table, we will begin with acupuncture. Once all the needles are in place, the sound journey will unfolds. This may include singing bowls, chimes, didgeridoo, hand pan, flutes and icaros.

    Offered gently to support nervous system regulation and deep relaxation as the acupuncture does its work.

  • Completion & integration

    As the sound softens, you’ll be guided back gently.
    The needles are removed with care, and you’ll have a moment to integrate before closing the session.

FAQ’s:

  • When combined, the two modalities amplify each other:

    • Acupuncture prepares the body, clearing pathways and softening tension so the vibrations can travel more freely.

    • Sound expands the field, guiding the consciousness inward and helping energetic shifts integrate more deeply.

    Together, they create conditions for therapeutic and energetic transformation, allowing deeper layers of the self to come forward for healing.

  • Sound healing works through entrainment - the body’s natural tendency to synchronise with steady rhythms and frequencies. This process supports:

    • Nervous-system regulation and stress relief

    • Improved sleep and emotional balance

    • Enhanced focus and mental clarity

    • Harmonisation of Qi flow through the meridians

    • Relief from tension, headaches, and energetic blockages

    Each session is unique and crafted for your specific energetic needs on the day.

  • In addition to instrumental sound work, David incorporates icaros - traditional medicine songs learned through over two years of apprenticeship in the Amazon jungle with Papa Gilberto, in the Shipibo tradition of plant medicine.

  • Sound healing techniques used in the clinic are therapeutic and non-forceful. Instruments are selected carefully and played in a way that supports grounding, stability, and integration.

    David brings over 20 years of experience as a professional musician, allowing him to work with sound in a precise, intuitive, and technically skilled way.

    Combined with his training and scope as a Registered TCM Practitioner, each session is delivered with clinical awareness, safety, and a deep understanding of how sound and acupuncture interact in the body.
