Experience gentle yet powerfully effective one-to-one sound medicine and/or sound healing therapy sessions for restoring balance to the whole system (mental, physical, spiritual), and developing awareness of where emotions are seated in the body
Sound Medicine—also sometimes referred to as Sound Healing Therapy—is the intentional use of sound vibration to support the body, brain, and nervous system in returning to a state of emotional, physiological, and energetic balance.
At its core, Sound Medicine is based on the universal principle that everything in existence vibrates—from subatomic particles to planets, stars, and entire galaxies. These vibrations generate intricate patterns of frequency, waveform, and tone—each capable of producing resonance, or the ability to set another object into motion through sympathetic vibration.
At DIVE Healing®, our integrative sound medicine sessions draw on these principles to initiate a deep, restorative healing response. Using a range of finely tuned instruments such as tuning forks, hand chimes, singing bowls, and gongs, sound is applied both around and directly onto the body to create subtle yet powerful shifts in the body’s energetic and physical systems.
Because the human body is made up of approximately 70% water, it is especially receptive to sound. Like ripples moving through a still pond, these vibrations travel efficiently through tissues and cells—helping to release muscular tension, dissolve energetic blocks, and clear unresolved emotional imprints, including trauma held deep within the body.
Sound Medicine invites the body into coherence—a state where inner rhythms become more harmonious, allowing healing to unfold with greater ease and natural intelligence.
Understanding Sound as Medicine
"Everything is in motion;
nothing is at rest;
everything moves;
everything vibrates"
This age-old insight reflects a universal principle: the idea that the distinctions between matter, energy, mind, and spirit are not separate in essence, but are defined by their frequency of vibration. Between the poles of ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ vibrations—which can at times appear still—there exists an infinite spectrum of movement and energetic nuance.
Every mental formation we experience—our thoughts, words, speech, and emotions—is a form of vibration, each resonating at its own unique frequency. These vibrations don’t just influence our consciousness; they ripple through our entire being—affecting our cells, organs, bones, blood, and even the electromagnetic field that surrounds and interconnects us with the world around us.
The therapeutic use of sound to enhance mindfulness and self-awareness is not a modern trend—it is a time-honoured practice, found in ancient healing traditions across cultures and centuries.
Through deep listening and sound-based therapies, we learn to shift from resisting what we think should be happening, to becoming more present with what is. This subtle shift in awareness allows for profound healing.
When we begin to relax—often through the soothing effects of sound—our breath naturally deepens, our stress hormones decrease, and the body enters a more coherent state. This relaxed state allows the immune system to function more effectively, supports lowered blood pressure, and activates areas of the brain associated with natural opiates and inner calm.
As Ellen Franklin, CEO of the Kairos Institute of Sound Healing, so eloquently states:
“Currently, there is a crisis in healing, with many of the old ways and methods breaking down. Antibiotics and chemotherapy alone are no longer the answer. Healing requires a personal commitment and hard, scary, and oftentimes transformational work. It is a crisis of spirit, calling for change and growth.”
Sound healing, when integrated thoughtfully and respectfully, invites us into that transformation—not as a quick fix, but as a gentle yet powerful way to realign body, mind, and spirit with the natural rhythm of wholeness.

What type of sound healing do you offer?
At DIVE Healing®, two primary forms of integrative sound medicine are offered: Acutonics® and Biofield Tuning.
While distinct in their origins and applications, both modalities work with the vibrational field of the body to support deep energetic alignment, emotional regulation, and healing at a cellular level.
Biofield Tuning is a sound-based therapeutic method that works primarily within the human biofield—the electromagnetic field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body. Using precision-calibrated tuning forks, this approach helps to locate and release areas of energetic distortion or stagnation, restoring coherence and balance to the body's natural vibratory state. By working in the field, Biofield Tuning can gently support the release of stored trauma and emotional residue that may be influencing physical or psychological health.
Acutonics® on the other hand, is rooted in the wisdom and diagnostic framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It applies sound directly to the body through acupuncture points and meridian pathways using tuning forks that are attuned to mathematically derived planetary frequencies. In essence, it is a form of needle-free acupuncture that combines the vibrational power of sound with the energetic intelligence of the meridian system.
Acupuncture points are known to hold concentrated electromagnetic charge and serve as gateways to the body's internal energetic landscape—affecting everything from organ function to emotional wellbeing. The planetary frequencies used in Acutonics® are carefully calculated to resonate with the body’s natural rhythms and archetypal energies, bringing the healing potential of medical astrology and depth psychology into each session.
Each tuning fork is crafted from high-quality, space-grade metal, manufactured in the USA, allowing for pure tonal resonance. The planetary tones are brought into audible octaves, making them both physically perceptible and therapeutically impactful.
Together, these sound-based therapies offer a deeply integrative, non-invasive approach to supporting physical vitality, emotional balance, and spiritual alignment—tailored to each individual’s unique needs and energetic blueprint.
What is Acutonics®?
The Acutonics® Healing System is a unique and integrative approach to sound medicine that draws on the wisdom of ancient Eastern traditions and merges it with Western scientific, psychological, and philosophical thought.
Its roots trace back to early thinkers such as Pythagoras, whose discovery of the “Music of the Spheres” revealed a profound universal principle: that the cosmos is governed by mathematical harmonies, and that everything in existence—seen and unseen—is in vibratory relationship. For Pythagoras, this connection between music and mathematics formed the axis of a greater understanding of the universe as a living, resonant system.
Acutonics® continues in this spirit, offering a sound-based healing modality that combines the energetic insights of Traditional Chinese Medicine with principles from psychology, biology, and vibrational science to form a truly holistic model of care.
"In Chinese Medicine terms, the body is a garden dependent on all the elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal to work together as a whole for optimal health and well-being." - Acutonics Institute of Integrative Medicine.
Acutonics® uses precision-calibrated tuning forks, applied to acupuncture points and energy centres along the meridians and chakras, to harmonise the body’s subtle energy systems. These planetary-tuned instruments work non-invasively to bring body, mind, and spirit into alignment.
As a vibrational therapy, Acutonics® addresses not only the physical body—supporting issues related to digestion, menstruation, fertility, respiration, musculoskeletal pain, and neurological conditions—but also deeply supports the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of healing.
At DIVE Healing®, all sound therapy sessions are facilitated by practitioners who have completed advanced training through the Acutonics® Certification Program, ensuring a high level of expertise in applying sound and vibration for transformational, whole-person healing.

What is Biofield Tuning®?
Biofield Tuning is a gentle, non-invasive form of sound healing therapy that uses precision-calibrated tuning forks to work directly with the body’s electromagnetic field, also known as the biofield.
At its core, Biofield Tuning is based on the understanding that all matter is energy in motion—pure electromagnetic radiation, or light—expressed through frequency and vibration. In other words, everything in existence is sound, vibrating at different rates.
This method was developed by Eileen McKusick, a pioneering researcher, author, and sound medicine practitioner who has been teaching and evolving this innovative approach for over two decades.
Biofield Tuning belongs to a broader category known as energy medicine—a field that encompasses various techniques and modalities aimed at working with the human energy system. These approaches acknowledge the influence of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs on health, recognising that imbalance or dissonance within the energetic field can directly impact physical and emotional well-being.
For more than a century, science has validated the existence of subtle electromagnetic fields around the human body. Every cell generates tiny electrical currents, which in turn produce corresponding magnetic fields in the surrounding space. Technologies such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electroencephalograms (EEGs) measure these fields to assess heart and brain activity, while even more refined instruments can detect these bio-magnetic pulsations from a distance.
Biofield Tuning works directly with this electromagnetic matrix—a dynamic system believed to be deeply interconnected with the conscious and subconscious mind, as well as our personal history and memories. According to McKusick’s research, emotional trauma, stress, and illness can be experienced as dissonance or distortions in the biofield. The tuning forks are used to locate and gently modulate these disturbances, allowing the energy system to return to a state of harmony.
This process can help relieve physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms, promote relaxation, and support deeper integration and healing across all levels of being.
At DIVE Healing®, our sound healing practitioners are fully trained and certified through accredited Biofield Tuning instructors, under the guidance and standards set by Eileen McKusick, the founder of the Biofield Tuning system.
"If we accept that sound is vibration and we know vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies"
