About Me and Kaira Sound Therapy
Kaira is a word meaning “do you have peace” and is commonly used in West Africa as a warm, friendly greeting. The positive intent of peace reflects the heart of my work in sound therapy and holistic healing.
How I discovered the benefits of resonant sound
My connection to resonant sound began through the expressive freedom of dancing to live percussive music. As I moved towards rhythmic, acoustic sounds, my body relaxed, became more fluid, and my physical wellbeing noticeably improved. This experience ignited a deep passion for West African percussion, particularly the djembe drum.
I spent over fifteen years studying and performing traditional West African music. During this time, I lived for two years in Kartong village in The Gambia, where I trained and performed alongside highly accomplished and master musicians. Immersing myself in this rich musical culture deepened my understanding of how sound, rhythm, and vibration generate energy that positively influences the mind, body, and spirit.
My Training as a Practitioner
Inspired by the healing potential of sound, I completed professional training as a Sound Healing Practitioner with the College of Sound Healing. Over three years of study, I qualified as a multi-disciplinary practitioner working with the voice, singing bowls, and gongs. I later undertook additional training in Shamanic Healing with the college founder, Simon Heather. This training qualified me in assemblage point alignment, negative energy clearing, and soul retrieval practices.
What I offer
Today, I combine traditional acoustic instruments with modern sound healing techniques to offer a complementary therapy that supports deep relaxation, balance, and overall wellbeing. With over eight years of experience as a sound healing practitioner, I have a private practice for individual clients and I facilitate immersive group gong baths. Alongside my sound healing practice, I am a qualified Art Psychotherapist. This background strengthens my understanding of emotional, psychological, and relational needs. Through my professional training in these disciplines, I provide safe, grounded, and responsive sound-healing experiences that support the whole person.
I am a certified Sound Healing Practitioner and professional member of The College of Sound Healing
I hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance, maintain ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD), trained in first aid, and hold a current DBS check to ensure safe and ethical practice.

about sound therapy
Sound Therapy is a natural, holistic treatment that uses resonant acoustic sound to support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Practitioners create sound through the voice, such as toning, chanting, and singing, or through therapeutic instruments that produce harmonics and precise intervals.
Because the human body is made up of approximately 70% water, sound vibrations travel efficiently through tissues, skin, and blood cells. These vibrations stimulate and rejuvenate the body while helping to release cellular tension and toxins.
Sound frequencies move through the entire body, gently massaging muscles, easing stiffness, and supporting pain reduction. At the same time, sound therapy calms the nervous system, encouraging deep relaxation and rest.
Steady sound frequencies can also synchronise brainwaves and support emotional balance. This process helps quiet the mind, restore energy, and promote a sense of calm and wellbeing.
