<![CDATA[The Good Sounds | Podcast]]>The Good Sounds Podcast explores the history, science, and healing power of sound.

In each episode, I sit down with sound therapists, artists, musicians, researchers, and practitioners to explore everything from sound healing, sound baths, singing bowls, and mantra to music, meditation, mindfulness, and the nervous system.

I'm not an expert with all the answers...I'm simply curious about sound and its impact on our lives. This podcast is my way of having conversations with people who have explored sound from many different angles and sharing what I learn along the way.

Whether you're a sound practitioner, yoga teacher, meditation enthusiast, or simply curious about the role sound plays in wellbeing, you'll find stories, ideas, and practical insights to inspire your own exploration.

If you're curious too, I'd love for you to join me on the journey.

New episodes every two weeks.

In this episode of The Good Sounds Podcast, I sit down with Ali, co-founder of Chiang Mai Holistic to explore his journey from addiction and overthinking to a life devoted to singing bowls, sound healing and helping people come back to themselves.

We talk about the sound bath that quieted his mind for the first time, why he became obsessed with bowls, and how sound became part of his own recovery and spiritual journey. Ali shares how bowls can support meditation, nervous system regulation, addiction recovery and emotional release, especially for people who struggle to slow their thoughts down.

We also explore the role of community, why wellness should not only be for the wealthy, how Chiang Mai has become a hub for sound healing, and why Ali believes life is too short not to start becoming the person you actually want to be.

In this episode of The Good Sounds Podcast, I sit down with sound artist and author Colleen Thornton to explore her journey from a shy singer to creating deeply immersive sound baths.

We talk about the role sound has played throughout her life, how singing became a form of self-regulation, and the unexpected trip to Nepal that changed everything. What began as an attempt to escape burning season led to a transformative sound bath experience in Pokhara, where she discovered Tibetan singing bowls, mantra, and a new way of working with sound.
