Restorative Sound Bath

By InTouch & Motion

Overview
Join us for a biweekly evening sound bath experience designed to help you reconnect with yourself through guided breathework and sound meditation.

This series is here to create a consistent space for anyone seeking community connection, tools to support a personal mindful practice. Each session blends breathwork and intuitive sound meditation, curated to align with your intentions or desired wellbeing.

Sound baths can make meditation and mindfulness more accessible for different types of people, and offer a simple way to arrive, reflect, and reset. Practice the art of being and recieving.

In each 75-minute session, you’ll be guided through a welcoming, trauma-informed experience that includes:

Guided breathwork to activate mindfulness and personal alignment
Sound bath for deep rest and integration
Supported Reflection, integrating the experience

Ciera’s style in breathwork is influenced by restorative yoga, Kundalini-inspired practices, and Hatha yoga. Ciera has sound healing training and has been facilitating, experiencing, and researching this work for years. Sound baths and sound based meditation practices may evoke a range of emotions and experiences. Ciera is well equiped to support you in your unique expereince, tailoring to your needs.

These sessions are ideal for anyone seeking:

A more personal and creative approach
A safe space for body-mind connection
Your own way of meditating, that works for your brain
A grounding and restorative reset.

No prior experience is necessary. All bodies and identities are welcome.

Guided by:
Ciera Shimkus, LCPC, REAT, RYT-200
Licensed therapist and expressive arts facilitator blending the mental health principles of yoga, breathwork, creativity, and sound to support self-discovery, restoration, and self-care.

Important Notes

This is a wellness-based session, not a therapy service. While it is facilitated by a licensed or license-eligible mental health professional, participation does not establish a client-therapist relationship.
