Searched for a Gong Bath… and found something deeper

When people search for “sound baths” or “gong baths”, they’re usually looking for a calming, immersive experience - and it’s fantastic these experiences are easily available and have become part of the wellness conversation.

But if you’ve landed here at Sound Therapy North East after searching those terms, you’ve found something a little different and for many, something far more personalised and transformative…….welcome to Bio-Tuning®.

So, is this a sound bath?

Not exactly. Sound baths (and gong baths) are typically group experiences where you lie down and receive a curated mix of tones and vibrations, often from crystal bowls, gongs, or other instruments - intended to relax and restore.

Bio-Tuning®, on the other hand, is a one-to-one sound therapy that uses real-time data from your nervous system. It finds the exact frequency that helps your system deactivate stress and return to a calm, healing state.

 Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Feature	Bio-Tuning®	Sound Bath / Gong Bath
Customised to the individual	✅ Yes – based on biometric feedback (e.g. HRV)	❌ No – same soundscape for all participants
Uses real-time data from the nervous system	✅ Yes	❌ No
Specific frequencies targeted to brainwave states	✅ Yes (e.g., finding Fundamental Tone)	❌ No (general intention to soothe/relax)
One-on-one and data-driven	✅ Yes	❌ Usually group-based, intuitive or ritual-based
Scientific/clinical foundation	✅ Yes – neuroacoustic therapy model	❌ No – often rooted in spiritual or vibrational traditions
Experience is repeatable and measurable	✅ Yes	❌ Not clinically reproducible

Why does it matter?

You’re not wrong for looking for a sound bath, the appeal is real!

But it might be worth asking yourself: why do you feel you need a sound bath?Is there something a bit deeper you're trying to navigate?

My top tip: it’s best to address the underlying issue first, and understand ‘the why’. 

If so, my recommendation is this - consider Bio-Tuning® if you're someone who:

• Has tried sound baths or meditation but struggles to fully switch off

• Feels stuck in a loop of stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

• Is working through chronic illness, nervous system dysregulation, or burnout

• Wants something more personalised, measurable, and scientifically grounded

• Is curious about how your body can actually show you what helps it heal

  
  

Sometimes, it’s not about doing more, it’s about listening to the body in the right way.

Bio-Tuning® gives you that language. And often, that first session brings a level of calm that’s been missing for years.

So yes, your search for “gong bath near me” brought you here.....but maybe that search was really about something deeper: the desire to feel calm, safe, and regulated from the inside out.

That’s what Bio-Tuning® offers. If you are curious to learn more, why not book a free chat with me via the below calendar:
