I have introduced a new healing modality into my practice that I am excited to share with you – Acutonics®!

Acutonics is a sound healing modality that uses instruments and voice to change dis-harmony in the body into ease and health. 

Vibration is a powerful mechanism to break up blocks – physical and emotional – in the body promoting relaxation and allowing the body to transform itself.

Sound Healing – Ancient Wisdom

Sound healing has deep roots. It can be found in almost every ancient culture. Aboriginal people of Australia believed the didgeridoo was used to sound the world into existence.

Ancient Hellenic culture has a record of the flute being played to cure gout and in the Bible, the harp is played to ease depression.

It’s history can be traced back to ancient China during the Qin Dynasty, which took place between about 221 and 207 BC. They observed that humans made lots of healing sounds like “hah” when laughing or sighing after a stressful event.

Think about when you are feeling down, sad, angry or happy. Do you use music to celebrate, change your mood or as an outlet for frustration? Music can lift spirits, ease depression and calm the body and soul.

Used with intentionality, sound can be used for emotional “stuckness” (stagnation), alleviating stress and physical distress as well as illness in the body. With the body composed of 70% water, sound waves travel easily breaking up and transforming stress in the body into vitality.

What to know about Acutonics

Acutonics is unique in its approach because of its integrative approach to holistic healing.

With strong roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it also pulls from the tool kit of shamans, science, psychology and more to establish harmony for the client.

This energy-based, non-invasive therapy places precision calibrated tuning forks on specific acupuncture points to access the body’s meridian system. The tuning forks represent a natural harmonic series based on the earth, moon, sun and planets. 

What to expect during your session

Before your first session, paperwork will be sent to you with questions about your physical and emotional health. This will be reviewed during your first appointment so you and the practitioner can establish the goals you wish to work on together.

If you have been interested in the benefits of acupuncture but have been hesitant to try it because of the needles, Acutonics is a great option for you. There is no piercing of the skin. It is an easy application of vibrating forks to the body or around the body to manipulate energy and substance in the body.

Unlike other modalities like massage or acupuncture, you do not have to get undressed. Arrive in comfortable clothing, kick off your shoes and get comfy on the table.

Sessions can last anywhere from 45-90 minutes. The practitioner will use a combination of tuning forks, singing bowls, chimes and other instruments on and around the body to relax you and support your body’s natural goal of achieving wellness and wellbeing.

Sessions are often scheduled every two weeks or as far apart as once a month for best results. If you want to see what this looks like in action, head over to my Instagram account @moonessenceme to see a video I did of a session.
