Lisa Bradfield
SOUND HEALER
I use instruments with beautiful sounds that heal and restore balance to our physical bodies and hopefully transform lives. I do this through sound baths or one to one sessions at my home studio in Coogee.
Although talking therapy is beneficial, it concentrates on external events potentially increasing the energy behind the feeling, whereas, the soft frequency of sound and vibration can make subtle internal shifts within ourselves.
