Sound Bath
Sound Meditation, Music Therapy, and Shamanic Drumming
Using sound frequencies and vibration, the sound bath is an immersive experience in music and meditation. With his unique musical abilities and background, Justin creates a one-of-a-kind sound meditation experience. He has a special talent for handpans, wooden tongue drums, powerful skin drums, crystal bowls, tuning forks, gongs, and many more overtone-emitting soundscape instruments to create the space for profound relaxation, movement of stuck energies, healing and insights. Often collaborating with top-level musicians to incorporate string instruments like mandolin, viola, guitar, banjo and many more, along with vocal vibrational healing and icaros (medicine songs).
Justin has been a drummer for 27 years, but discovered his passion and distinct medicine with sound vibrations through the magic of tongue drums and hang drums. As a passionate researcher, Justin has collected years of study on the therapeutic and esoteric properties of sound from a variety of perspectives including Western scientific, Eastern philosophical, and shamanic societal beliefs. This has helped him to gain a deeper understanding of how, and to what extent, sound has been used to affect human consciousness. He has worked to gain experiences which lend a perspective that incorporates art, science, philosophy, and spirituality.
Justin is obsessed with soundwave frequencies, harmonics, and overtones. He has spent years working extensively with cacao ceremonies, leading sound meditations, and playing live music with a variety of yoga and breathwork teachers. He is a member of an improvisational medicine music group, which is in the process of creating an album of original medicine songs and a recorded sound journey. He is also passionate about investing his time, and energy in creating and holding space for personal healing and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sound bath, and how does it support healing?
A sound bath is an immersive meditative experience where you’re surrounded by resonant sound frequencies created with instruments like crystal bowls, gongs, and handpans. These vibrations help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote emotional and energetic release. Many participants describe feeling deeply relaxed, grounded, and reconnected after a sound bath.
How does breathwork therapy help with emotional release and nervous system regulation?
Breathwork therapy uses conscious, intentional breathing techniques to access non-ordinary states of consciousness, support trauma release, and calm the nervous system. It helps move stuck emotions, reset stress responses, and improve clarity. It’s especially effective when guided by trained, trauma-informed facilitators.
What can I expect from a trauma-informed breathwork facilitation session at Maloca Sound?
Our sessions are led by a certified, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator trained in the Owaken style. You’ll be gently guided through breathing patterns that promote emotional safety, somatic awareness, and deep healing. Each session is held in a grounded, supportive space and tailored to your individual needs.
What’s the difference between a private sound bath and a group sound bath?
A private sound bath is a 1:1 or small group experience personalized to your energy, intention, and goals. A group sound bath brings together multiple participants in a shared space for collective relaxation and healing. Both offer the benefits of sound therapy, but private sessions are more tailored and often include energetic dialogue.
Who leads your sessions—and what is a sound bath facilitator or sound practitioner?
Sessions are led by Justin, a sound bath facilitator, sound practitioner, and seasoned drummer with 35+ years of experience. He blends ancient healing practices with modern techniques using instruments, vibrational medicine, and voice to support deep transformation.
Do you offer sound healing retreats or somatic therapy retreats?
Yes! We host immersive retreats—like Higher Vibrations—that integrate sound healing, somatic therapy, breathwork, movement, and nature. These sound healing retreats are designed for full-body healing, connection, and spiritual renewal in beautiful, off-grid locations.
How is sound therapy different from reiki healing or vibrational medicine?
Sound therapy uses acoustic instruments and vocal tones to shift brainwave states and body vibration. Reiki healing is a form of energy healing that channels life force through light touch or hovering hands. Vibrational medicine encompasses both, working with frequencies to restore balance across physical, emotional, and energetic layers.
What instruments are used in sound baths and shamanic drumming sessions?
We use a variety of instruments in our sound baths and shamanic drumming sessions, including crystal singing bowls, handpans, wooden tongue drums, gongs, tuning forks, and skin drums. Each is chosen for its unique frequency and healing effect on the body and mind.
Can I book a reiki master for a personalized healing session at Maloca Sound?
Yes. Reiki is offered as a stand-alone session or as an add-on to private sound healing. Sessions are guided by a trained reiki master, using gentle, hands-on or hands-off techniques to restore energetic flow and bring balance to the body and spirit.
What role does a cacao ceremony play in your sound healing retreats?
A cacao ceremony is a heart-opening ritual that uses ceremonial-grade cacao to deepen presence, connection, and intention. At our sound healing retreats, cacao often serves as a grounding, communal opening before sound journeys, meditation, or shamanic drumming sessions.
