What is Sound Healing?
“Sound Healing is the use of instruments or the voice to change the balance of the body from dis-ease or dis-harmony to ease and harmony. A person who practices Sound Healing makes use of the vibrations that instruments create to initiate a healing response from the body. “ Acutonics.com
Well-being
Using tools like sound, intuitive sensing, cranial sacral, meditation (and many others) can be transformational, help us tune into our own knowing and take us into a state where we heal more easily. And beyond healing symptoms to coherence in our energy and field, and activation of our latent power and potential. We hold great capacity in our body, cells, and energy centres (chakras). Supporting our body and mind so they can heal and adapt through life’s experiences, bringing ourselves into coherence, as well as activating our latent potential and power and stabilizing it, is important. Shifting “from an emptiness that can’t be filled, to a fullness that can’t be contained”. (S. Giesmann)
Adaptogens like Ashwaganda, Cordyceps, and many others are examples of plants that have the capacity to not only help you recover from a stressor but help you become stronger to meet future stressors. Cranial Sacral Therapy or Sound & Vibration can also be adaptogenic - supporting us in being able to utilize stressors to increase our capacity to meet life experiences rather than just get by or recover from them after. Stress can be any factor that requires a response or a change in us.
We all have intuitive gifts and capacities to lead us in our own well-being. As we are all unique …we need to run everything through our own intuition, access and develop our own capacity to know what is best for ourselves. As we access our own intuition, we respond to situations from our inner sovereign state of well-being - knowing and deciding what is the best choice for ourselves in any given moment. Honoring our own inner guidance allows us to honor the rights of others to follow their own - reducing the need for conflict. When we are intuitively responding to the needs of our own health, it will also be healthy for those around us and the planet. Let’s tune in…
What is a Dr. of Natural Medicine (DNM)?
The Dr. of Natural Medicine degree (a PhD through the International Quantum University of Integrative Medicine (IQUIM) located in Hawaii, USA, is based in Quantum (how much) Physics (the study of the relationship between energy and matter) or, the physics that quantifies reality. An education founded in Quantum Physics opens us to the potentials beyond the model of a mechanical universe based only on matter. Doctor of Natural Medicine… simply a teacher (and student) of natural life. Doctor in classical Latin (docere) means ‘“to show, teach, cause to know” and one definition of Medicine I love is simply “life”.
Natural medicine is just that —- natural, and includes all truly natural approaches to health and wellbeing - or maybe more specifically accesses what we already hold within. Most natural approaches are free - exercise & movement, sunshine, getting out in nature, sound and vibration, using your own best sound healing instrument - your voice, along with meditation and breath …are a few examples. The focus is helping people live in a state where their body and energy field can optimally heal itself, adapt during or following stress, and rise to the experiences of each moment. Dr. Anoop Kumar (Numocor.com) teaches the 4 engines - nutrition, movement, connection, and rest as the primary medicine; anything else is complimentary or ‘alternative’.
Natural medicine is not symptom management or a process of diagnosis. It is about optimizing our inner ability to generate health and well-being from within - seeing everyone as whole and having their own innate ability and any work is simply in support of that expression. It is about supporting and strengthening what is within, creating space to raise vibrations and support inner alignment with yourSelf. An integrated and multi-faceted approach to health is highly recommended.
Dr. Shekinah specializes in conflict solutions and grief support as well as the use of sound and vibration and cranial sacral therapy. She uses tuning forks, Alchemy Crystal Bowls, Tibetan bowls, hand chimes, drums and other sound tools, to assist the body to come into its natural state of coherence, balance and harmony, relaxing the nervous system, restoring life force energy, increasing nitric oxide for natural healing, releasing trauma and conflict. Sound is one of the oldest forms of nurturing and preventive care. The beauty of Sound and Vibration is how it supports your body’s innate ability to heal and live in its natural state of health, supporting your nervous system and your emotional body.
Healing: ‘the process of becoming sound again’
Health: ‘soundness, especially of body or mind’
Soundness: ‘the ability to withstand force or stress without being distorted, dislodged, or damaged’
Are you looking for re-creation, renewal, clarity for projects or situations, energy management, or conflict solutions? Are you looking for someone to support you in your transformation in an area of your life where things seem stuck? Do you feel that situations in your life take you ‘off centre’ easily? Are you looking for support in deeper meditation, past life regression or other inner work? Click the book a free 15 minute session and let’s connect… Please check my blog pages for more information.
NOTE: Dr. of Natural Medicine is not the same as a Doctor of Naturopathy. Different training and different processes but both are focused on natural approaches to health.
What is Cranial Sacral Therapy?
Cranial Sacral Therapy is a subtle yet deep hands on approach based on osteopathic philosophy and study which believes that all aspects of our body have inherent motion. Cranial Sacral Therapy can be a way to tune into the status of the nervous system and highlight resources and primary restrictions which facilitates the body to ‘remember’ its innate ability to release and find balance.
Sound Healing
A little clip on to give a glimpse into Sound Healing - both group and individual sessions.
1:1 Sound Sessions - brief Intro
Dr. Shekinah, MA, DNM, DHS, holds a PhD in Natural Medicine and a Master of Arts in Conflict Analysis & Management. She is also trained in sound & vibration systems (Acutonics; Biofield Tuning). Additional training, to name a few, includes energy management, Reiki, ThetaHealing®, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Meditation.
Dr. Shekinah, MA, PhD, DNM, DHS
Services - Sound Healing & Cranial Sacral Therapy
60 or 90 Minute Session
$100 - $150
A full sound healing session typically takes about an hour. In some cases or times longer is needed and the 1.5 hour session is usually sufficient . It can include one or a combination of Biofield Tuning, Acutonics and Cranial Sacral Therapy, supported by crystal and Tibetan bowls, gongs and other sound tools. Tuning forks are used directly on the body - via acupuncture points and meridians - and in the biofield (aura, electromagnetic field) around the body.. Each session is guided by what the energy field / body of the client is needing at that moment and it is deeply relaxing for most people. If you are holding something in your energy field you would like to release or resolve, shift how you engage with your life and circumstances, sound can be very supportive. Sound is energy medicine helping us clear, transmute, transform negative or stuck energies into what we desire - sorting out the interferences so we can align with what we already are. a little like tuning a radio to clear static. People typically feel very relaxed and good during and after a session and they may have moments of deep rest where time shifts, they get beyond the mind, or experience visuals. This is not necessarily sleeping or dreams but definitely a deep state of rest. I recommend 2 - 3 sessions to help anchor in the shifts and expansions you are creating.
You may experience support with:
Calming of the mind, body, and spirit
Deep meditative states
Increased vitality
Improved sleep
Reduced tension / stress
Addressing the root cause of pain
Brain & heart coherence
Increased focus, clear mind
Boost in Creativity
Repair of tendons & ligaments
Reducing bulging veins or edema
Improved circulation of lymph
body resets continuing after the session
& many other benefits depending on you
30 or 45 Minute Session
$50 - $75
These shorter sessions may typically be with Cranial Sacral Therapy and Acutonics. Cranial Sacral Therapy is a subtle yet deep hands on approach based on osteopathic philosophy and study which believes that all aspects of our body have inherent motion. Cranial Sacral Therapy can be a way to tune into the status of the nervous system and highlight resources and primary restrictions which facilitates the body to ‘remember’ it’s innate ability to release and find balance.
Is there a specific issue in an area of the body you want to have focused sessions on? For example to support other therapy or work you are doing with a knee or a shoulder, or any area of your body. Acutonics is great for addressing strains or tension involving fascia, tendons / ligaments, etc.
A full 1 hour session enables deeper relaxation and overall body / energy work as well as focus on specific areas. But sometimes when there is a specific issue presenting, spot treatments are all that’s needed. I often do this for my own body work - treat specific areas - I don’t always run a full session.
This can also be a fit for Biofield Tuning - for example tuning the hands (can be helpful for people who work with their hands a lot) or a seated chair session, which although a shorter session is also very powerful.
Similar to massage or any other somatic therapy, there is benefit in regular sessions. In many cases, it may require a change in habits and patterns (eg., how you sit at a desk, how you exercise, your patterns in dealing with stress, etc.) to bring long-lasting changes.

”What is sound healing? When an organ or body part is healthy, it creates a natural resonant frequency in harmony with the rest of the body. When the vibration of a part of the body is out of harmony, we have dis-ease. With dis-ease, a different sound pattern is established in the affected part of the body. When sound is projected into the dis-eased area, correct harmonic patterns can be restored.” Crystal Tones
For a private sound bath (group, couple) please contact me by phone or email.
Services - Conflict & Relationship Solutions or Distance Sound Healing
Private Group: Sound Healing for Couples or Groups
Private Group or Couple $200
This can be for couples, families, company team or group of friends who want a private session - using sound and vibration to shift the ‘frequency’, clear out blocks and past energetic disharmony.
These sessions are for any group of two or more people who are wanting to either simply have a private session or address a collective issue, grief, etc. Or a work team who want to increase their team creativity and clear out blocks for projects (I can also come to your place of business to bring the frequency into your work setting).
Whatever you are wanting to clear, manifest or simply to deeply rest and relax with those you love.
Please contact me directly to arrange timing and location.
The Art of Transformation:
How to use the opportunities in relationships and conflict to transform your life.
Are you challenged with conflict in personal relationships, dynamics you can’t see a way to solve? Are workplace behaviours draining your energy, joy and reducing productivity, do they ‘follow’ you home?
Let me help you experience conflict situations in a new light and discover the healing … and greater riches within your relationships. Explore the alchemical and transformational opportunities & ultimately find your way to balance and harmony.
Online program or in person ‘mediation’ training.
Please contact me if you have a team or group interested in working with a conflict situation that is presenting. I also provide 1:1 consultations to clear inner conflict situations, coming into more peace within.
Distance Sound Healing
By Phone - $50 / per session (approximately 40-45 minutes)
Distance sessions can be done by phone in the comfort of your own home. This is the same as an in-person session - difference being that I work with the energy and body holographically.
Although this can seem strange to our minds, it is a great option and can work amazing for anyone who is open to it. It is particularly useful if it is inconvenient or challenging to travel. Not to dismiss the value of being in person for sessions too. If you are not local to Penticton or there are other challenges to coming in person, book a distance session and experience the benefits.
Experience the quantum physics and principles like non-locality, entanglement and discontinuity through working energetically beyond the limits of the physical perceptions of our being.
Email or text me and I will set up a time that is convenient for both of us
Christine S.
I am still in awe about the amazing work of Dr. Shekinah with her sound medicine. Never had I thought that I could experience such powerful energy work while I am in Germany and Dr. Shekinah is in Canada. Even without being in the same room as her I was able to feel the energy in the body parts she was working on in that moment. Magical. I highly recommend booking a session with Dr. Shekinah.
Meggie H.
Shekinah is such a gifted intuitive healer. I have done many bowls sessions and biofield tuning with her and it has transformed me and released blocks and fears I was struggling with. I can rely on her for her grounded and insightful approach to help me shift. This is the new modern way to move out of beliefs and feelings that need to be reached on the somatic and subconscious level. If you've never done this be ready to be blown away.
Dean.
Shekinah performed as a master conductor would, orchestrating precision and harmonic intensity that enveloped the senses of molecular tension and atomic enterprise. A crescendo of vibrational energy ascended the escarpment of realities hold, and remnants of what was, now is gone. This absorption of spiritual material intertwines with the ethereal body and cascades along the concourse of creations great cosmic dream.
