Really happy to be heading back to Bear and Shion’s Golden Gong Gathering this August.

Last year I gave a talk and a demonstration on how I use singing bowls harmonically, working with intervals instead of single tones. The feedback from both sessions was great and I am very proud to be invited back to share again.

This year I will be giving a talk followed by a longer sound session using singing bowls, gongs with flumies, and another very special instrument.

The Gathering brings together some well-respected names from across the sound community, I’m very pleased to be among them.

If you’re attending this year come and say hi 🎶

Gong Practitioners Course now booking!
** update **
** The weekend course dates have sold out! **

Six months. CMA Accredited. Based in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.

2 classes are available, both starting in September. One class is midweek, and the other is weekend.

The course includes 12 months of direct mentorship from day one, a course manual, access to Scotland’s largest teaching gong collection, and the B Love Method taught as part of this comprehensive course. ….and so much more!

I was going to wait until my website had been updated but the rebrand is taking much longer than expected, so I am launching the dates here.

If you have been thinking about training as a gong practitioner this might be the course for you 🎶

Gong training has expanded quickly in Scotland but what hasn’t kept pace is the opportunity to actually play alongside others in a supportive environment.

Gonging As One on Sunday 7th June is a day for gong players to get together in a guided setting with no performance pressure and no pecking order. Just listening, responding, and finding out what you are capable of when you’re not doing it alone.

Sam from Epic Mallets is also joining us to talk about his mallets and demonstrate how the tools you use genuinely change how your gong sounds.

Only a couple of spaces still available, if you have any questions about the event please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I’ve never felt the need to post about every instrument I use in my private sessions, but I thought I’d do something different share a short video of this one.

I have worked with the monochord in my personal practice, my classes, and in talks I have given about sound, for many years. However, this one is a bit different.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoy playing it.

✨️What is Yin yoga✨️

Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods (usually 2–5 minutes or more). It targets the deep connective tissues and and fascia - helping to improve flexibility, release tension, and encourage stillness and mindfulness.

✨️What is a Sound Bath✨️

A Sound Bath is a deeply relaxing experience where you are “bathed” in soothing sounds and vibrations from instruments like crystal singing bowls, antique himilayan singing bowls, gongs, and chimes and more. The sound waves can help calm and support the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote a meditative, restorative state.

✨️Why Choose Me✨️

What I share comes from a deeply personal place.

I’m a yoga teacher, sound practioner, ex-finance professional & a mum of two young kids living with ADHD (myself and my daughter), living a sober/AF life. I got into a daily yoga practice after becoming a mum in 2019 and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, the mum life juggle struggle and using alcohol to self medicate. I made self-care a priority so I could be a best version of myself. These experiences have shaped the way I hold space - with compassion, honesty, and deep acceptance. My yoga practice naturally progressed to sound therapy, and I trained with the fabulous Pauline Spiers (Sound Therapy Scotland).

When you join me, you’ll be met exactly where you are. There’s no expectation or judgment - just a safe, nurturing space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect and heal yourself. My sessions aren’t about performance - they’re about presence and giving back.

You don’t have to arrive calm or centered - just as you are is more than enough. For the price of a few glasses of wine, you can invest in something that truly nourishes your wellbeing. ✨

If this sounds like something you NEED but the price point is a little too high for you, please reach out and we can discuss 🫂

When gong practitioners are starting out, mallets can be a huge subject to try and navigate your way through. Most players have to spend a lot of money on trial and error until they find the right ones for them.

Yesterday one of the gong practitioners came back to the studio with her gong and we spent almost 3 hours going through my mallet collection (and some flumies too!) We start by sorting everything into a yes, no, maybe, then we start narrowing down by sound and weight, checking what actually gives the player something that warrants a place in their toolkit. It takes time, but at the end of the session the practitioner knows exactly what they are looking for.

This mallet selection service is a complementary part of my gong practitioners course. Dates for my next intake will be released later this week 🤍

Just back from a few days in Wales at a gong retreat held every 2 years by Julian from eCymbals. It’s a chance to catch up with other teachers and to keep up to date with what’s happening in the gong world.

At the last retreat we were working with the bronze gongs, this year he brought all 17 Paiste plant gongs.

Julian is the man to go to in the UK for all things Paiste, his knowledge is incredible and he is always more than happy to share that with everyone.

Big thanks to Julian and Michelle for having us, we both enjoyed really it.

There are very few opportunities for gong players to come together, play as a collective, and simply experience what happens when many instruments move as one. On Sunday 7th June in Kilmarnock, that's exactly what we're doing.

Gonging As One is a full day for gong practitioners to come together regardless of your lineage or training background. You bring your gong, we play together within a guided orchestration written specifically for multiple gongs, and we find out what becomes possible when practitioners set aside titles and hierarchies and simply listen and play together. No music reading required. Just previous experience of playing your instrument and a willingness to be present.

I also want to give a proper mention to our special guest, because I don't think I've done him justice yet.

Sam from Epic Mallets will be joining us for part of the day. Sam handcrafts gong mallets and accessories, and if you've ever played with one of his mallets you'll understand why I have invited him to Scotland. He'll be sharing the story of how he started making them and doing a live demonstration of how different mallets shape the voice of the gong - the texture, the depth, the character of the sound the instrument produces.

The mallet should not be an afterthought, it’s a unique part of the conversation between you and your instrument, and it’s different for each player. Having the chance to explore that directly with the person who crafts them, in a room full of gongs, is a rare thing.

A light lunch is included. Free parking. The Park Hotel, Kilmarnock. Doors open 9:15am for a 10am start.

Tickets are £85, booking fees apply through Eventbrite. A few places are still available.

If you know a gong player who would love this, please share. Everyone is welcome regardless of where they trained or how long they've been playing.
