Your team doesn’t need
another workshop.
They need an hour to stop.
A sound bath for teams. 30 to 90 minutes of deep nervous system rest. There is no vulnerability required. Nobody has to share anything. Just sound, stillness, and a room full of people who needed this more than they realised.
What a sound bath
actually looks like
People lie down with their eyes closed. I play different singing bowls, a large gong, and a set of supporting instruments, covering a frequency range from 80Hz to 729Hz.
The sound does the work. It bypasses the thinking mind and directly activates the parasympathetic nervous system. There is no group sharing required, and no one has to be vulnerable in front of their colleagues.
Thirty to sixty minutes later, everyone stands up, relaxed and different.
- No workshop format. People don’t need to participate or perform
- No prior experience with meditation or sound healing needed
- Sceptics are welcome! The physiology works regardless of belief (I’ve had great compliments from people who were sceptical at first!)
- Works in any quiet space: meeting room, studio, outdoor venue
“The sound does the work. There is no effort required from your team.”
Jens KemnaWhy it works. With of without belief.
Most teams operate in a near-constant state of low-grade stress. Deadlines, context-switching, performance pressure. The nervous system stays in sympathetic activation: alert, reactive, depleted.
Sound in specific frequencies triggers a measurable shift toward parasympathetic response. Heart rate slows. Muscle tension drops. The cognitive noise quiets. This isn’t wellness philosophy. It’s acoustics and physiology.
Sympathetic override
Sustained low-frequency sound (80–120Hz) stimulates the vagus nerve, signalling the body to downregulate threat response. This happens automatically, there is no intention or belief required.
Brainwave entrainment
Overlapping frequencies create a natural binaural-like effect that guides the brain from beta (alert, stressed) toward alpha and theta states. Those states are associated with deep rest and creative insight.
Somatic release
Tension held in the body (shoulders, chest, jaw) physically responds to vibration. People often notice muscles they didn’t realise were tight begin to soften without any effort on their part.
When this makes sense for your team
Sound bath sessions work well as a standalone moment or as part of a larger wellbeing programme. Here are the contexts where I see the most impact.
After an intense sprint
A release valve after a demanding quarter, go-live, or period of sustained pressure.
Team offsite or retreat
An unexpected, memorable element that distinguishes your offsite from every other one.
Wellbeing day
Works as a standalone session or paired with other wellbeing activities throughout the day.
After organisational change
Restructures, mergers, leadership transitions. Moments when the team needs to re-regulate together.
Three formats, one shared result
From a focused 30-minute reset to a half-day wellbeing experience. All formats are on-site — I come to you.
Sound Bath
The classic format. People lie down, I play the full instrument set, the nervous system does what it needs to do.
- Brief introduction (5 min)
- Sound bath with full instrument set
- Quiet close. No sharing required
- Best for: quick reset, end-of-quarter, offsite moment
Sound Bath + Breathwork
Starts with a guided breathwork activation, then moves into a full sound bath. The combination goes noticeably deeper.
- Breathwork (30 min)
- Sound bath (30 min)
- Integration time (30 min)
- Best for: team offsites, wellbeing days, deeper reset
Half-Day Wellbeing
A full wellbeing experience: breathwork, sound bath, and space for reflection. For teams that want to go further than a moment.
- Extended breathwork session
- Deep sound bath
- Guided group reflection
- Best for: strategic offsites, large transitions, annual events
12 years in corporate.
Now I use sound.
Before this work, I spent 12 years in corporate consulting: learning design, serious gaming, change management. I know what it looks like when a team is running well on the outside and exhausted on the inside.
I trained in sound healing in Rishikesh, India, and Vikrampal Acadamy. Besides that I am a certified breathwork facilitator. Since 2021 I’ve worked full-time with breath, sound, and coaching. Individually and with groups.
What I do with teams is not therapeutic. It’s regulatory. A deliberate break from the constant alertness that modern work demands.
Want to know more?
Let’s talk, just a short conversation.
A 15-minute call. You bring the context like team size, timing, what you’re looking for. I’ll tell you honestly whether this is a good fit, and what a session would look like in practice.
