Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sound Lounge?
A Sound Lounge is a deeply immersive sound experience that combines therapeutic music, vibration, and carefully curated frequencies. Unlike traditional listening experiences, the sound is both heard through headphones and felt throughout the body through a specialised vibroacoustic lounge. Rather than simply listening to sound, you are invited to relax into it, allowing the body and nervous system to receive the experience in a profoundly restorative way.
What does a Sound Lounge session feel like?
Every experience is unique. Many people describe feeling:
• Deeply relaxed
• Grounded and calm
• Mentally clearer
• Emotionally settled
• Refreshed and restored
• Better able to sleep
Some drift into a dreamlike state, while others remain fully aware and simply enjoy the experience of resting within sound.
Do I need any experience with meditation or sound healing?
Not at all. The Sound Lounge is suitable for complete beginners as well as those already familiar with meditation, mindfulness, or sound based practices. Many people who struggle to meditate find that sound provides a gentle anchor that helps the mind and body settle naturally.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax fully. You will remain fully clothed throughout your session.
How long are sessions?
Sessions vary from 45 mins to 90 mins depending on what type of experience you have chosen.
How often should I attend?
While many people experience benefits from a single session, regular attendance often provides the greatest support. Just as we strengthen the body through consistent movement, the nervous system also benefits from regular experiences of rest, safety, and regulation. Many clients choose to attend weekly or fortnightly as part of their ongoing wellbeing practice.
Why does consistency matter?
The nervous system learns through repetition. When we regularly create opportunities for the body to experience calm, safety, and relaxation, those states become more familiar and easier to access in everyday life. Consistency allows the benefits of sound, vibration, and deep rest to build over time. This is why Alaya Nada offers memberships for those wishing to make sound based wellbeing a regular part of their self care practice.
Are memberships available?
Yes. Our membership community provides discounted access to Sound Lounge sessions while supporting a consistent restorative practice.
Memberships are available for both:
• 45 Minute Harmonic Reset Sessions
• 60 Minute Immersive Sound Journeys
Please enquire for current membership options.
Can I have a Sound Lounge session while pregnant?
Due to the limited research available regarding vibroacoustic therapy during pregnancy, Sound Lounge sessions are not currently offered to expectant mothers. At Alaya Nada, we choose to take a cautious approach and prioritise the wellbeing of both mother and baby.
The good news is that there are many other beautiful experiences available during pregnancy. Gentle sound healing, Vocal Alchemy, humming, breathwork, meditation, relaxation practices, and nurturing one on one sessions can all provide a deeply supportive and restorative experience during this special time.
If you are pregnant and interested in working together, please reach out. We would be honoured to create a personalised experience that supports relaxation, connection, and wellbeing for both you and your baby.
What is Vocal Alchemy?
Vocal Alchemy explores the voice as a pathway into presence, expression, creativity, and nervous system regulation.
Sessions may include:
• Humming
• Toning
• Breathwork
• Movement
• Mantra
• Guided vocal exploration
No singing experience is required. The focus is not on performance, but on experiencing the voice as a tool for self discovery, regulation, and transformation.
What is Biofield Tuning?
Biofield Tuning is a sound based modality that uses tuning forks both on and around the body. Sessions are designed to support balance, coherence, self awareness, and energetic wellbeing through the therapeutic application of sound frequencies.

Are Sound Lounge sessions a medical treatment?
No. Alaya Nada sessions are wellness experiences designed to support relaxation, self awareness, and nervous system wellbeing. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions and should not replace professional medical care.
Is the Sound Lounge suitable for everyone?
While Sound Lounge sessions are gentle and well tolerated by most people, there are some situations where modifications or additional precautions may be required. A short intake form will be completed prior to your first session to ensure the experience is appropriate for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out before booking.
