Sound is an energetic and sensory experience. Its effects—its vibrations—can be felt palpably in our bodies when we laugh or cry, sing, or listen to live music; it works to heal us, and to elevate our lived experience in subtle but powerful ways.
Sound Therapy
Experience The Healing Power Of Sound
Samara offers sound therapy primarily in two different modalities: individual sound therapy, where she and the client meet for a consultation followed by treatment, and vocal toning groups, where Samara facilitates a small group in a meditative and aesthetically pleasing experience. Sound therapy can address physical, cognitive, spiritual, and emotional issues and intentions, bringing us more in touch with our bodies and our unconscious selves. Research in vocal toning in particular has shown that it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering respiratory rates to as low as six cycles per minute—similar to that during slow wave sleep (NREM).

The Healing Power of Sound
(Group Toning)
Learn to harness the healing potential of your voice in a group of 5-10 participants led by Samara. As a meditative technique, toning induces altered states of consciousness, activates the vagus nerve, lowers respiratory rate, and increases heart rate variability. It can be used for physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual satisfaction/well-being. Benefits and aesthetic experience are enhanced in a group setting, where you are toning with others.
No previous vocal training or skill required:
If you can speak, you can tone!
Group sessions last 90 minutes
$30 per session
(Special discounts for regular attendees)
Groups are hosted at Meta 1111 yoga studio in Montreal-NDG.
Private Individual Sound Therapy Sessions
Book a private sound therapy session with Samara, akin to a “sound massage." Sessions begin with a consultation where presenting issues are outlined, after which the client relaxes on a massage table while Samara uses her voice at a close range with a technique called “vocal toning.” Depending on the needs and preferences of the client, an array of small instruments and singing (Himalayan + Crystal) bowls may also be used. Sound therapy induces altered states of consciousness, balances energy systems, regulates the nervous system, and releases physical pain and emotional distress.
Sessions last 1 hour
$125* per session
Samara offers sessions in Montreal-NDG. Please book a consultation prior to a first session.
