Meet Sandy
Welcome, Sound Medicine seekers! I'm Sandy Gwaltney, a grateful facilitator dedicated to guiding my clients back to their center and their OWN UNIQUE FREQUENCY. With 25 years as a Licensed Massage Therapist, my journey began at the Cumberland Institute for Holistic Therapies in Brentwood, TN. Shortly after graduating, I decided to move to Chicago, where I immersed myself in diverse therapeutic environments, passionately studying numerous modalities including Trigger Point therapy, myofascial release, chiropractic therapy assistance, lymphatic drainage, kinesio taping, cupping, prenatal care, and doula certification. Slowly but surely, I discovered solely addressing the physical body wasn’t fulfilling the deeper needs that I sensed.
There was something I was missing.
In 2012, I returned to Nashville in search of missing pieces, embarking on a journey that eventually led me to discover the profound healing potential of sound and vibration and the concept of healing through sound. I began this journey by obtaining my Reiki Master Certification while deeply immersed in studying somatic mind-body therapy.
The year 2020 brought a pivotal shift with the onset of the pandemic, guiding me towards tuning forks and biofield tuning. Through meticulous exploration, I deepened my understanding of the brain, nervous system, and the intricate mind-body connection. Introducing tuning forks into my practice unveiled their remarkable ability to induce a healing, restorative state through directed sound, frequency, and vibration.
My exploration then extended to the mysticism of the gong—a powerful ancient instrument capable of producing a symphony of harmonics and coherent tones that resonate deeply within the body's biofield. In my view, the gong shines as the star of sound medicine and healing, swiftly shifting, balancing, and restoring both biofield and body, thereby unlocking the innate healing potential within.
I received my initial certification in sound healing from the Center of Sound in St. Louis, focusing my practice on the therapeutic application of the gong and sonic entrainment.
