  • Episode 5: Sound Healing

    Episode 5: Sound Healing
    2025/12/14
    In this episode of The Healing Journey, Dr. Kate Oland sits down with her dear friend and “badass massage therapist” Meredith Brunner, a licensed massage therapist, yoga instructor, and certified sound healer. Together, they explore how sound, touch, and subtle energy can shift what’s happening in your body at a cellular level. Meredith shares how a winding path of continuing education—World Massage Festival trainings, Nepali hand-beaten metal bowls, chakra-tuned crystal bowls, tuning forks, vibrational raindrop massage, and now craniosacral therapy—slowly wove sound healing into her everyday massage practice and ultimately into a specialized calling.Kate and Meredith dive into the science and felt experience of vibration: how low frequencies can be felt long before they’re heard, how sound moves through water and fascia, and why bowls, gongs, drums, and tuning forks can help “shake loose” stuck places in the body. They talk about conscious language and ancestral stories—how the words we use around money, fear, and self-worth can reinforce old patterns, and how shifting phrases like “I don’t want debt” into “I am financially free” begins to rewrite our internal script. Meredith describes her approach as healing herself first and then simply holding a clear, high-frequency space so that her clients’ bodies can entrain to that vibration and self-heal, much like how calming music regulates you on a stressful day.From there, the conversation moves into tuning forks, meridians, and craniosacral therapy. Kate shares how she uses tuning forks on stubborn trigger points to help tissue release more easily, while Meredith explains tuning forks as the “acupressure version of sound healing,” connecting to organs, meridians, and long-held beliefs. They explore biodynamic craniosacral work as a bridge between science and spirit—a way of returning to the original blueprint of wholeness and supporting the nervous system in dropping into deep stillness. The two also touch on research and lived experience around sound baths: why they can initially feel uncomfortable, how the experience changes over time, and how a single session helped Meredith move through post-accident pain that resolved by the end of the bath.Finally, Kate and Meredith talk about bringing sound healing into real life—private sessions, group sound baths, and in-home events where people often choose to lie on the floor long after the last note fades. They share about their evolving musical project “Hermits Jewels,” a community of musicians and healers who want to use music as medicine, not performance, to spread joy, love, and healing frequency. The episode closes with a heartfelt reminder that sound, movement, and story are some of our oldest technologies for healing—and that every time we speak love, sing, drum, or lie down in a sound bath, we’re participating in the quiet work of rewriting patterns for ourselves and the generations to come.If you want to contact Meredith Brunner to enquire about her services you may contact her at 618-531-3776.If you're interested in learning more about the Ancestral Healing course that Kate mentioned, you may learn more about Omnia Sancta here.Here is an official bibliography created by Dr. Kate Oland if you are interested in reading more about sound healing:Bibliography — Key Recent Research on Sound / Vibration & Healing 1.
