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. Justin is passionate about investing his time, and energy in creating and holding space for personal healing and growth.

My girlfriend and I fully immersed ourselves in the private couple’s sound bath, with Justin as our sound healing conduit. It was our first time experiencing a sound bath and it was an enlightening self-exploration like we’ve never experienced before. From the start, Justin’s energy is warm and inviting. The private session is customized to the individual(s) starting with clear intentions so he can channel the elements of sound you are intending to receive. Maloca Sound & Wellness embodies the exploration and growth of the spiritual self, with sound as the life of that journey. This isn’t just a practice for Justin. This is his life’s work and creation. It will be an experience that I can promise you won’t find anywhere else, but with Justin. It is life changing! Thank you for this moving experience. We will most definitely be back for more.

LIFE CHANGING. I was skeptical about sound healing at first, but Justin’s been able to do what months of therapy couldn’t. I’ve had the pleasure of attending multiple sound baths in different settings, and I leave astonished (and usually happy crying) every single time. As cheesy as it sounds, it almost feels like he’s somehow able to open up a portal for love, gratitude, and clarity to flow through where it was blocked before. He’s such a calming presence, is always professional, and is a master of his craft. There’s nobody I’d trust more to provide a beautiful, transcendent experience and a safe space. I would shout his name from the rooftops if I could. If you have the opportunity to book him - don’t hesitate!

I booked a 1-1 session for my mom for Mother’s Day. Justin was very helpful on the phone answering my questions and helping to schedule the session. He made sure to help us prepare for her session so she could get the most out of it. Justin provided a 5-star experience from start to finish. The location is beautiful and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in helping people. My mom raved about the experience and was just beaming all day. I would recommend Justin to anyone. He’s a true pro.

Our sound bath was a beautiful experience filled with intention. Justin is skilled at his craft and passionate about sharing it in a deeply meaningful way with others. The way he incorporated a variety of instruments really made for a dynamic and magical experience. Appreciated how he made space for setting personal intentions, card reading, and a focus on breath and energy work. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, grounded, energized and aligned. My heart is full of gratitude????❤️Magical experience all around. Highly recommend!

I met Justin at a yoga retreat. He was there as a guest. During our classes and meditations he graciously offered his intuitive gift of sound. I had done energy work and had been to sound baths or sound meditations before, but never had I experienced anything like this. My whole body responded in a way I had not known. I have since done one on one sessions on a number of occasions and have been to a few sound meditations as part of my trauma healing and self discovery journey. I had already been working with an EMDR specialist (and continue to do so) and Justin’s talent and intuitive nature were the perfect compliment to the work I was and am doing. His work is special. His space is warm and friendly, clean and inviting. My experience summed up… it has felt like returning home to myself.
