SOUND HEALING

SOUND HEALING 〰️
Raise your frequency. Transform your reality.
Julia Francis is a sound healing practitioner and vocal alchemist. With her voice, crystal alchemy bowls, and other instruments, she provides sacred sound experiences that create space for relaxation and profound inspiration. Julia also teaches vocal attunement, empowering you to embrace your voice as a self-healing tool. And working with groups through workshops and retreats, Julia facilitates the practice of sacred sound-making for processing grief and working with the ancestors.
Julia’s private sound healing sessions and public sound bath events are restorative, meditative experiences that invite people to lie down and listen to resonant sounds that penetrate their bodies at a cellular level. Many of her clients experience stress reduction, assistance in processing emotions as well as alignment of the energetic centers of the body (chakras).
A life-long disciple of the vocal arts, Julia draws on her Celtic heritage, as well as her intensive study with shamanic practitioners and sound healers across the globe to help others understand and perceive the power of the unseen sonic world that surrounds us.

“The power of music to integrate and cure…is quite fundamental. It is the profoundest non-chemical medication.”
-Dr. Oliver Sacks, Neurologist
Sound healing is an ancient practice with roots in cultures all over the world. Australian aboriginal tribes used the didgeridoo as a sound healing instrument for thousands of years. In Tibetan and Himalayan cultures, singing bowls have been used for over 2000 years in spiritual and healing ceremonies.
Because everything in our universe is energy vibrating at specific frequencies, music is a scientifically proven and powerful tool to guide our consciousness into higher realms and bring us into a greater state of balance. One study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that an hour-long sound meditation helped people reduce tension, anger, fatigue, anxiety, and depression while increasing a sense of spiritual well-being.
Private sound healing sessions are conducted in Julia’s South Seattle studio and are designed to address your individual needs. You can look forward to 75 restorative minutes of lying comfortably (napping is allowed) and receiving gentle, resonant sounds coming from Julia’s voice, crystal singing bowls and other instruments. Many of her clients experience stress reduction and relief from physical tension.
From a recent client: “At one point, you put one of the bowls over my knees. I was really sick for a couple of weeks and developed some peripheral neuropathy especially in my feet. My feet have felt remarkably good since our session. You are doing important work. Thank you!"
And if you enjoy dogs, you have the option of inviting Julia’s VERY mellow chihuahua into your session. Pearl has developed quite the reputation as a healer dog and she will be happy to lie in stillness with you and bring her own special medicine to your sound session.
