As always Restful Waters retreats are on point.
- Emily (women's wellness retreat)
Just what I needed to reconnect with myself and get grounded and present again. They are always professional and skilled.
having Valerie as our counsellor has been such a positive experience, far exceeding my expectations.
- caroline (couples counselling)
I’ve been attending Restful Waters for couples counselling sessions with Valerie Monteiro. My partner and I have been seeing her for over a month now, following a chaotic period where we felt like we were in crisis. Valerie has been a true saviour for us during this time. She’s an excellent counsellor—attentive, intuitive, and consistently communicative. I wasn’t sure what to expect from couples counselling, and it had been difficult to find a suitable person in the past, but from the moment we booked until now, having Valerie as our counsellor has been such a positive experience, far exceeding my expectations. I’m truly grateful.
The teachers were amazing!
- Doelle (Sonic Immersion)
They sounded outstanding and connected with us all so well. Today’s practice helped me centre myself + ground where I needed to be.
She has saved my relationship from the brink of collapse
- M. from byford (counselling)
Amrit has undoubtably improved my life and changed me as a person, even in a short amount of time. She has saved my relationship from the brink of collapse and then focused in on empowering me and getting any anxiety I had under control. She has all the experience and life wisdom you’ll need for any issue or guidance you may need. She is also a genuine, caring and empathetic person who clearly just wants to help people better their lives. Restful Waters is a fantastic setting too as it’s quiet and relaxing, providing the best environment possible. Could not recommend Amrit and Restful Waters enough.
A beautiful, relaxing time shared with lovely people.
- Kerrie (Reconnect + Rebalance Retreat)
Lot’s of connection with other people, and connection with self. Tracy was lovely and really explored well and led us through some beautiful meditations.

A sound bath is a form of sound healing that uses vibration and frequency to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation. During a session, resonant instruments such as crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes create soothing sound waves that help the body and mind enter a meditative state.
Here are some proven benefits of sound baths and sound healing:
A sound bath is more than relaxation: it’s a gentle form of sound therapy that helps quiet the mind, relax the body, and restore emotional balance. The vibrations support physical healing, emotional release, and spiritual clarity, leaving you feeling calm, grounded, and renewed.
Here are some proven benefits of sound baths and sound healing:
- Reduces stress and anxiety: Studies show that sound healing meditation can significantly lower tension, anxiety, fatigue, and negative mood after a single session (Goldsby et al., 2016, Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine).
- Promotes relaxation and balance: A randomized controlled trial found that Tibetan singing-bowl sound therapy triggers physiological relaxation, slowing heart rate and enhancing heart-rate variability (HRV) (Rio-Alamos et al., 2023, Psychology MDPI).
- Improves sleep and physical well-being: Sound therapy can reduce muscle tension, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep quality (Cai et al., 2025, Integrative Medicine Research).
- Encourages emotional release: The immersive frequencies of sound healing help release stored emotions and stress, creating a sense of lightness and emotional clarity (Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2023).
- Supports spiritual and emotional well-being: Research links sound healing to improvements in spiritual well-being, mood, and inner peace (Goldsby et al., 2022, Religions Journal).

Comfort is most important. Wear loose, breathable clothes such as yoga pants, soft cotton tops or loungewear so you can lie down and relax easily. At Restful Waters, we provide blankets, pillows, eye masks and mats to help you feel completely at ease. Dress in warm, cosy layers so you can fully unwind and enjoy the soothing sounds and vibrations.
During a sound bath, you simply lie down, get comfortable, and let the sounds wash over you. At Restful Waters in the Perth Hills, we provide mats, blankets, pillows and eye masks so you can fully relax. Close your eyes, breathe naturally, and allow the tones of gongs, crystal bowls and chimes to calm your mind and body. Use the session as a mindfulness practice to stay gently aware and experience deep inner stillness and renewal.
Yes, it’s completely normal to cry during a sound bath. Many people experience emotional release as the healing vibrations move through the body, gently dissolving tension and freeing stored emotions.
Sound frequencies work on a deep energetic and cellular level, soothing the nervous system and allowing feelings or memories that have been held inside to rise and clear. Tears are simply a natural sign that your body and mind are letting go.
Not everyone cries. Some people feel light, calm, or deeply peaceful instead. Every sound bath is unique, and your experience will always reflect what your system most needs in that moment..
