Words from Those We've Served

Every session is a unique journey. Here is what some of our clients have shared about their experiences.

Dragonfly resting on a hand — a symbol of transformation and healing

"Kirsti facilitates the healing modality of sound to evoke relaxation, self-expansion and rejuvenation. She is an intuitive healer and empathetic listener. I have come to her with a variety of medical and stress-related issues. In each session, she intuitively has created a harmony of sounds that soothe those tender places and quiet the mind similarly to deep meditation. As a marginally successful meditator, I have found myself relaxing, breathing, and achieving a sense of presence in ways I have not been able to achieve on my own. The healing vibrations that she generates allow my body to recalibrate as my natural rhythms restore. I leave these sound sessions with a clearer sense of how to manage my stress level, my health, and my life."

Earle IrwinBlacksburg, VACrystal Sound Bath

"Kirsti creates a soundscape that invites calm and healing. She has an unusually diverse set of skills in the sound and energy healing arts, and intuitively draws on those to match what is needed at each point in time. Every session is unique, but I consistently feel a deep sense of peace during and afterwards. The tones and vibrations she creates are beautiful, and mentally, physically, and emotionally soothing. Pain and stress melt away. I walk into the rest of my week with such a deep state of calm and peace that others have asked me about it, and I sleep very well afterwards, too! I didn't know much about sound healing previously, but as a person with chronic pain and having tried many therapies to help, I have been very impressed to see how my body and mind respond to Kirsti's sound healing. It complements and elevates my other therapies and care, and is most relaxing. I highly recommend trying a session to see for yourself!"

Yvonne EmpsonBlacksburg, VASound Healing

"I recently discovered a new (to me) and potentially transformative process – a Sound and Vibration journey, accompanied by a master guide, Kirsti K. Of Sound Body and Mind is a quiet, welcoming space, where you are invited to settle in and get comfortable. Kirsti explains the sequence of events, answers any questions you may have, and asks you to lie on a comfortable palette. She inquires whether you are in any particular emotional state and whether you have an agenda and, if so, what it might be. Her demeanor, accepting attitude, and questions reflect interest, concern, and intelligence. Talking to her is easy and reassuring!

The bowls used to produce the various sounds are made of crystal and produce deep, resonant tones. Which sounds, of what duration, and in what combinations and sequence, are in the hands of an intuitive and master clinician. In the 2nd half of the session bowls of her choice are placed on your body in a manner that deepens and enhances the overall experience by transmitting vibrations to your body. The combination of sound and vibration was enveloping, in what felt like a protective womb.

As I gave myself over to the experience, I was transported to a series of memories, intensely present and, in my case, highly positive. Though they involved reconnections with people in my life who were both well-loved and now deceased, the sense of being enveloped in this protective barrier enabled some deeper and more joyful revisiting than anything I could remember. I came back to the reality of being in a session invigorated and at peace. Kirsti then provided an opportunity to share the experience, which I gladly did!

The days after provided an opportunity to revisit, ponder and integrate the experience. The sense of peace and calm continued in various degrees. I knew I wanted to do it again!"

George ClumBlacksburg, VACrystal Sound Bath

"My wife surprised me with the gift of a sound treatment with Kirsti at Of Sound Body & Mind, and what a wonderful gift it turned out to be!

Although I wasn't very familiar with the practice, the experience was beautiful and deeply relaxing. During the session, I felt a renewed sense of energy throughout my body, and that feeling stayed with me long afterward. Even now, I continue to feel the positive energy and sense of well-being it brought me. Kirsti provided a truly memorable experience, one that gave me an opportunity to slow down, relax, and simply enjoy the moment. You don't have to be familiar with sound treatments to appreciate what she offers. Thank you, Kirsti, for such a refreshing and uplifting experience. I wholeheartedly recommend your services!"
