Gail Jackson, Founder

A sound session with Gail is an amazing experience that I would recommend for everyone. I could feel the vibrations from the gong move through different parts of my body, creating a myriad of sensations and emotions. I was overcome with a sense of peacefulness and serenity during the session that I carried with me throughout the rest of my day. Sound is such a powerful therapy and a great addition to any healing protocol.
