One thing about me — I choose my instruments very intentionally. I never bring something into my space if I don’t feel a real connection with it.
And this one… 5 years ago I felt it straight away, but I wasn't ready to choose premium quality Monochord for myself, so now when I finally have one, I enjoy every moment with this beautiful instrument (I literally have blister on my finger 😁).
I’m sitting in bed right now, the monochord "staring at me" from the floor, and I feel called to it. Like I want to sit in front of it, close my eyes, and just play.
I can’t wait to bring this sound into the sessions and let you experience it for yourselves.
It creates what’s called a drone — a continuous, steady tone that doesn’t rush anywhere, just holds you. There’s something about it that feels so deeply calming, grounding, and almost out of this world.
Even though it’s tuned mostly to one note, the sound is never flat… it’s rich, layered, and full of subtle overtones. You can feel it more than you hear it💜

A few simple, real facts about the monochord:
The monochord goes back to ancient Greece, often linked to Pythagoras.
It was originally used as a scientific instrument, not for performance—to study how string length relates to pitch.
Over time, it evolved into a meditative and therapeutic instrument, especially in sound work and music therapy.
Modern monochords (like this one) are designed specifically to create that rich overtone field—that “out of this world” feeling💜

✨ Loughrea Sound Bath Experience✨
Join me for a deeply restorative sound bath designed to support relaxation, nervous system regulation, and inner stillness.
This session combines the resonant tones of crystal singing bowls with the grounding sound of a monochord, creating a layered soundscape that gently guides the body into deep rest.
🐑 Cocoon Sensory Experience (Optional Upgrade – Limited Spaces)🐑
For those who would like to deepen their comfort, a small number of Cocoon spaces are available.
Each Cocoon space includes a soft teddy-textured wool mat, wool-filled pillow with a brushed cotton cover, and a warm wool blanket. All wool is organically sourced in Ireland, supporting natural comfort and grounding.
Wool naturally helps regulate body temperature, which can gently drop during deep relaxation, supporting warmth and ease throughout the session.
Only 3 Cocoon spaces available.

🐑 I’m really happy to share something new for my upcoming Sound Bath experiences 🐑
I’ve introduced a Cocoon Sensory Experience option for those who would like deeper comfort and support during the session.
This includes soft Irish wool mats, wool filled pillows, and warm wool blankets — all chosen to support the body in deep rest. Wool is a beautiful natural material that helps regulate body temperature, which is especially important during sound baths, when the body temperature can drop as it relaxes.
I feel genuinely grateful to be working with these gorgeous woollen products, carefully made and sourced here in Ireland. There is something very grounding and comforting about natural wool, and I’m delighted to bring this to my sessions😊
The Cocoon Experience is optional and available for those who feel they would benefit from this extra layer of comfort. There are only a small number of Cocoon spaces available, and they can be selected when booking through Eventbrite.
Looking forward to holding this space for you💜

Galway resident Marta Stanska was merely 16 when her health first took a turn. The now 39-year-old, who spent her earlier years in Poland, says she began experiencing a crippling pain in her stomach. Her discomfort only intensified with time, and in a matter of months, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a condition that falls under the umbrella of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

“I had pain in my stomach every day, and the doctor would keep giving me antibiotics, saying that it’s just stress or some kind of inflammation of the lining inside of my stomach,” says Stanska, “so it was basically six or seven months of being on different kinds of antibiotics, and nothing would help. Then the pain would spread into different parts of my tummy.

“After that, as it was getting worse, I would start feeling nauseous and get diarrhoea. I lost my appetite, and I started losing weight drastically – in seven months, I lost 15kg, I think, and when I was admitted to the [IBD] clinic in Gdansk in Poland, my weight was 34kg. I lost a lot of weight, and I had really bad anaemia.”

Stanska ended up having an ileostomy, followed by two more surgeries, including a total proctocolectomy in 2019, which involved the removal of her entire colon and re**um. She took seven months of recovery, and was told she will be living with an ostomy bag permanently.

“It impacted my relationship at the time,” she says. “But it doesn’t affect absolutely anything else. I go to the gym, I do yoga, I can swim, I can tan. I can absolutely do everything.

“The only thing I hate is that you have to be really careful when you are choosing your clothing. If you don’t want to show that you are wearing a bag, you need to wear this kind of shapewear under your dress or under your top sometimes, so finding the right clothing can be really challenging.”

Despite some of the difficulties she’s encountered living with her ostomy bag, Stanska says it gave her back her life.

✨ A full room, full hearts ✨
Last evening’s sound session was truly something special. The space was completely full, and there was such a beautiful, gentle energy in the room.
We began by sharing a cup of tea together, taking a moment to arrive, settle, and connect before the session started. It made everything feel so warm and human right from the very beginning.
I also realised again how much I truly cherish these moments of conversation — when you come up to me, when we talk about life, experiences, sounds… everything. Seeing familiar faces returning, and sharing those simple, real exchanges means so much to me.
That’s why I often call you my sound family — because being together like this genuinely feels like a homecoming.
It’s also incredibly heartwarming to hear your reflections after the session. One moment that really stayed with me was when someone said:
“You play the bowls with sense… the sound you create just makes sense.”
A beautiful reminder that connection with the instrument is everything. For me, it’s not just about practice or technique — it’s about presence, feeling, and relationship with the sound.
Hearing how the sounds touch you, how they move through you and reach deeper levels… it’s something I can’t fully describe. It’s truly priceless for me.
Each person had their own unique journey, and yet we were all sharing the same space, the same moment.
Coming to Loughrea Head Hub always feels like a homecoming to me. Seeing familiar faces again, and welcoming new ones, means so much.
I’m already looking forward to the next session in Loughrea — it will be a little different, with new sounds I haven’t brought before… and I can’t wait to share them with you.
Thank you from my heart to everyone who joined me 🤍
