First of all ... What is SoundBirth?

SoundBirth began when my Mum intuitively started playing one of my newly purchased crystal singing bowls that was sitting in the corner of my bedroom.

It was good timing because my contractions were starting to feel more intense and I was starting to want to moan and groan because of it's intensity ... but I felt embarrassed about making any strange sounds in front of everyone (midwife, husband, friend, Mum...).  I had felt self-conscious and inhibited during my previous two home births too!

BUT as soon as I heard the sound of the bowl I started to make more sound with my voice and in return felt more relief!  The entire room seemed to disappear and all that was present were the sounds I was co-creating with the bowl.  

Soon the contraction dissipated and so did the sound of the bowl.  

I couldn't believe the difference in my anxiety and pain levels!   

From then on my doula was instructed by me to play that bowl throughout every contraction for the next 5 hours ... and then again during my fourth labour my birth team took turns playing that bowl ... this time for about 30 hours!

The sound of that amazing bowl HELD my hand and gave me the strength I needed to birth my babies!

After that first SoundBirth experience back in 2009, I KNEW I had to share this with the birth world!

So I created SOUNDBIRTH! 

Since then the SoundBirth tools have been used by doulas, midwives and partners at home births and hospitals throughout Perth, WA and other parts of the world, to soothe and support birthing persons in labour. Hear about what people are saying below!

Testimonials

  • “I never thought, "I can't do this" or "I need drugs" or "take me to the hospital" because the bowl kept me present and grounded. I felt safe and calm during the contractions. I truly believe without the crystal singing bowl my labour would have been unbearable. I am generally an over thinker but as I said the bowl and toning gave me a singular present focus. I also love the sound the crystal singing bowl makes.”

    Toni Cronk, Mother of 2

  • “After remembering to tone with the crystal singing bowl that my Mum was playing during each contraction for hours, I finally dilated from 3cm to 10cm within 30 mins! I'm extremely grateful that I was able to birth my baby naturally when everything was heading to having a c-section. ”

    Cailee Mansell, Mother of 2

  • “The birth was exceedingly beautiful and the bowl such a part of this, I would highly recommend it to every birthing woman. ” Shar

  • “It was so helpful, having the bowls there. I truly believe they helped me in opening up and relaxing like I’ve never relaxed before.”

    Sandra Golaszewski, Mother of 4, Midwife, Texas

  • “The beautiful low tone of the mesmerising singing bowl helped keep Amy in what I like to call the 'labour zone'. The atmosphere in the room was one of peace, harmony and there was the easy flow of laughter and joy. ”

    Susan Krachler, Midwife

  • “If a contraction had a sound it would be the sound of the Crystal singing bowl.”

    Anon Midwife

5 Benefits of Using a Crystal Singing Bowl During Labour

  1. Women feel safe, confident and relaxed about using their voice when a resonant crystal singing bowl is accompanying them.

  2. When a bowl is played in time with a woman’s contractions she feels heard and connected no matter where she ends up giving birth.

  3. The resonant, pure sound of a crystal singing bowl gives a birthing woman something to focus on rather than pain, or unhelpful thoughts.

  4. Vocal toning relaxes the larynx which relaxes the cervix.

  5. When a woman uses her voice without inhibition she experiences the physical benefits such as lower blood pressure, less pain, increase in oxygen, release of oxytocin, endorphins, melatonin, serotonin and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
