Sound Healing is a powerful therapy that combines different healing sounds, music, and bowls to improve our well-being by creating a beautiful experience, where all layers of us (body, mind, soul, spirit) are supported to expel negative emotions and traumatic memories from our bodies and minds.

Surviving to Thriving: Due to the issues for many survivors of abuse not being able to access specific and specialist therapy with long delays and costs we decided to change that for those needing it among our community. We fundraised to be able to provide longer than average amount of sessions per client. The12 sessions of trauma therapy for clients who feel they need it quoting life changing results. This has proved vital on many healing journeys which we are so grateful to aMAZing therapy centre for providing and continue to do so.

“Healing is as unique as the individual and we need to look at the holistic approach alongside recovery.”
