Hypno Sound Bath
Hypnosis • Sound • Deep Relaxation
Permission to stop.
When did you last spend an entire hour doing absolutely nothing?
Life gives us very little opportunity to truly stop. There is always something to think about, organise, respond to or get done — and even when we finally sit down, our minds can carry on long after our bodies have stopped.
The Nest Hypno Sound Bath is a carefully designed immersive experience bringing together Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, therapeutic sound and silence.
For one hour, nothing is required of you. You simply lie back, get comfortable and allow yourself to become absorbed in the experience, while I guide you through deep relaxation, hypnosis and an immersive journey of sound.
Each experience has a carefully chosen therapeutic focus, using hypnotic suggestion, imagery and mental rehearsal to explore themes such as overthinking, balance, confidence, letting go and trusting yourself.
An hour to stop. Space to reset. Something to take into the week ahead.
What is a Hypno Sound Bath?
A Hypno Sound Bath brings together Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and therapeutic sound in one immersive experience.
You’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed, focused state using gentle breathing, guided imagery and hypnosis. From there, sound becomes part of the experience — with crystal singing bowls, chimes and other therapeutic instruments creating layers of sound and resonance around you, alongside carefully placed moments of silence.
The hypnosis has a purpose too. Each Hypno Sound Bath explores a different therapeutic theme, using suggestion, imagery and mental rehearsal to help you practise ways of thinking, responding and relating to yourself that you can take beyond the session.
You don't need to know how to meditate, you don't need to have experienced hypnosis before, and you don't need to be good at “switching off”.
You simply get comfortable, listen to my voice and the sounds around you, and allow the experience to unfold.
Want to see how it all comes together?
A Hypno Sound Bath isn't simply hypnosis with sound playing underneath. My voice, live sound, resonance and silence are woven together throughout the experience, with each stage designed to lead naturally into the next.
Take a look inside a Hypno Sound Bath and follow the journey from the moment you arrive to the gradual return at the end.
Why can it feel so hard to truly stop?
Modern life asks us to be constantly available — thinking, planning, organising, responding, remembering and moving on to the next thing.
Even the things we do to look after ourselves can become another item on the list. Exercise. Eat well. Get enough sleep. Meditate. Take some time for yourself.
But our minds and bodies don't always slow down simply because we've decided to stop.
Nervous system regulation is about developing the ability to move more flexibly between activity and rest. Practices such as slower breathing, focused attention, guided relaxation, hypnosis, therapeutic sound and silence can all create opportunities to practise settling rather than constantly doing.
That's part of what a Hypno Sound Bath gives you: a whole hour in which you don't have to achieve anything at all.
No performance. No need to clear your mind. No need to be “good” at relaxing.
Just permission to stop.
What happens during a Hypno Sound Bath?
From the moment you arrive, the invitation is to begin doing less. Your space will already be prepared for you, so you can settle in, get comfortable and allow yourself to be guided through the experience.
01 — ARRIVE
Settle into your prepared space and leave the outside world outside for a while.
02 — BREATHE
Gentle breathing and focused attention give your mind somewhere simple to rest.
03 — RELAX
Guided hypnosis, imagery and deep relaxation allow you to become absorbed in the experience.
04 — ABSORB
Crystal singing bowls, Koshi chimes and other therapeutic instruments move through the space, interwoven with my voice and moments of silence.
05 — EXPLORE
Each Hypno Sound Bath has a different therapeutic focus, using hypnotic suggestion and mental rehearsal to explore that session's theme.
06 — RETURN
You'll be gently guided back, with time to notice how you feel and take whatever felt useful with you.
A different focus each time
The journey into relaxation becomes reassuringly familiar, but the focus of each Hypno Sound Bath changes.
One experience might help you step back from overthinking. Another might explore balance, letting go, confidence or trusting yourself.
Through Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, I use carefully chosen hypnotic suggestions, imagery and mental rehearsal to explore that theme while you're deeply absorbed in the experience.
The intention isn't simply to help you feel relaxed for an hour — although that in itself can be incredibly valuable. It's to give you something useful to take with you when you leave.
Created with therapeutic purpose
The Nest Hypno Sound Bath brings together two areas of my professional practice: Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and Sound Therapy.
As a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and trained Sound Therapy Practitioner, I carefully design each experience to combine deep relaxation and immersive sound with a different therapeutic focus.
So while every session gives you permission to stop, each one also gives you something meaningful to take away.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
A Hypno Sound Bath brings together Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and Sound Therapy. I’ll guide you through relaxation, focused attention, imagery and hypnosis while weaving in therapeutic sound using instruments such as crystal singing bowls, chimes and an ocean drum. There are also periods of quiet, giving you time to simply rest and become absorbed in the experience.Description text goes here
-
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention rather than sleep or loss of control. You’ll still be aware of what’s happening around you and you remain completely in control throughout. You can move, change position, open your eyes or sit up whenever you want to.
-
Not at all. Everything is gently guided and I’ll explain what to expect before we begin. You don’t need to know how to meditate or have experienced hypnosis or a sound bath before — you can simply get comfortable and follow along in whatever way feels right for you.
-
Nothing. Mats, bolsters, pillows and blankets will all be provided, so everything will be ready for you when you arrive. Just wear something comfortable that you’ll be happy relaxing in. If you’d prefer to sit rather than lie on a mat, a chair can be provided.
-
We begin by settling in with gentle breathing and focused attention before moving into guided relaxation and hypnosis. Each session has a different therapeutic focus, which might explore something such as overthinking, balance, confidence or trusting yourself. Sound and silence are woven throughout the experience, before I gradually guide you back and give you a little time to reflect before you leave.
-
The overall journey will become reassuringly familiar, but the therapeutic focus will change. This means you can come regularly and explore something different each time, while still enjoying the familiarity of the experience.
-
No. Although I draw on my training as a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and Sound Therapy Practitioner when designing each session, a Hypno Sound Bath is a group relaxation and wellbeing experience rather than individual therapy.
-
The current Hypno Sound Baths are for adults aged 18 and over. There are some circumstances in which a group Hypno Sound Bath may not be suitable, so you’ll be asked to read and confirm the suitability information before completing your booking.
-
Places are limited and your booking is for the specific date you select, so please check that you can attend before booking. Bookings are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another date. If The Nest needs to cancel a session, you’ll be offered a full refund or the option to transfer to another available date.
