The Coherence Session
find your frequency
1:1 Coherence Session
What is out of rhythm is not broken, it is simply waiting to be met with attention. This session is a life-informed, personalized, and integrative process shaped by deep listening and attunement to what is present.
Sessions are available in-person at my Waitsfield Village studio or online via Zoom.
SOUND IS THE CORNERSTONE
Sound anchors the session as the primary organizing force, offering the body coherent frequencies it can use to regulate, reorganize, and restore balance.
Sound is not just something we hear — it is something we are. Every cell in the body communicates through frequency and electrical signaling. Sound moves through the body as vibration, through the nervous system as rhythm,and through the biofield as information.
From the fulcrum of sound, additional modalities are integrated or inform what is emerging. No two sessions are the same, each unfolding as a collaborative and responsive process.
Why start with sound? EVERYTHING is frequency.
Everything in the Universe is made up of vibration. A relaxed human body, including brainwaves, vibrates at the fundamental frequency of the Earth – 7.83 cycles per second (Hertz), known as the Schumann Resonance (Hertz). This is your natural state – and that which is in vibrational alignment with your wellness, your satisfaction, and your dreams. However as humans we have a tendency to match our vibration to what is being observed—not what we naturally align with.
When modern life, stress, trauma, illness, or emotional distress occur, we tend to stray from coherence – our natural resonant frequency. This may manifest as:
- dysregulated nervous system responses
- persistent emotional holding
- physical pain
- fatigue
- mental anguish or anxiety
- poor sleep
- lack of self-esteem or self-confidence
- or a general sense of unease and disconnection
SOUND AS MEDICINE
Sound is a medicine that reaches us where hands and pharmaceuticals cannot.
Our bodies are genetically pre-programmed to be self-healing instruments: and in a state of deep relaxation, healing can be profound. Along with sleep, sound is one of the easiest ways to evoke the relaxation response and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. The work is not to force alignment, but to create the conditions in which it naturally returns.
HOW THE BODY RESPONDS TO SOUND
It works through coherence and entrainment: sound is audible, mechanical vibration that affects matter.
When coherent frequencies are introduced during a therapeutic session:
- They travel through tissues, fluids, bones, organs, and the electromagnetic field gently moving the body toward entrainment (the synchronization of independent, oscillating systems to a common rhythm).
- They influence brainwave patterns through auditory and vibrational input, often inducing brainwaves in theta and alpha states (associated with relaxation, meditation, and integration).
- They interact with the nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve. As the nervous system relaxes, it begins to entrain to those rhythms and the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for the “rest and digest” state) comes online.
- They repair disturbances in the body’s electromagnetic field (often called the biofield). The body’s electrical and energetic systems can reorganize toward greater coherence.
BENEFITS OF SOUND
In simple terms: the body remembers how to regulate itself when given the right conditions.
During a Coherence Session you are not being “healed” or “fixed” — rather, your system is being offered coherent, harmonic information that it can use to return toward equilibrium. The benefits of sound include the reduction of stress and anxiety, the activation of relaxing and meditative brain waves, decreased blood pressure, improved mood, pain relief, restorative sleep, and more.
ADDITIONAL MODALITIES SUPPORT & INFORM THE SESSION
The intention behind all of my sessions is to simply provide a container to support you in your own healing.
The use of sound as medicine is combined with or informed by other modalities, depending on what is present in the field at the moment:
- Eastern Medicine
- Kundalini Yoga
- Mantra
- Breathwork
- Reiki
- Astrology & Tarot
- Grief Processing
- Guided Dialogue & Insight
“Bridget is a magical healer! From the moment you enter the session, you feel how special the energy is.”

“I want to thank you for the session. For me it was really beautiful. I am so grateful for you and your gongs for the medicine.”
— A.L.
IN-PERSON OR ONLINE SESSIONS
What's the difference between an in-person and online session?
The Coherence Session is available in-person in my Waitsfield, Vermont studio or online. Each offers the same attention, care, and presence. The main difference is that the use of tuning forks is more prominent in online sessions than the gong. The reasons for this are: first, tuning forks are especially good for distance work. They are unique in that they can be applied across all layers of the human experience: frequency can be engaged at the level of the body, the surrounding acoustic field, and the broader biofield in which the body is embedded. Secondly, the unworldly spectrum of sound from the gong gets lost amid digital translation. To be in the physical presence of a well-played gong cannot be duplicated.
However, online sessions allow for the experience to unfold in the comfort of your own space (and pajamas). And after the session is complete, you are already in a restful environment from which to relax and integrate the work.
Do distance sessions really work?
Yes, and you might be wondering not only if distance sessions work, but how they work. The concept can be difficult to understand at first, especially in a culture that prioritizes physical contact and visible intervention. However, the human system is not only biochemical — it is also bioelectrical and field-based…
Wondering if a Coherence Session is right for you?
This work may be supportive if…
- You are longing for space to slow down and listen inwardly
- You are drawn to refining your awareness of the subtle, both within yourself and the world around you
- You are navigating change and want grounded support
- Your system feels overstimulated, fatigued, or out of rhythm
- You are seeking clarity, coherence, or a sense of return to yourself
- You resonate with sound-based and integrative approaches
- You prefer work that is collaborative, intuitive, and responsive
- You are looking for an alternative to traditional talk therapy
This work may not be for you if…
- You prefer clearly defined steps or rigid structure
- You are not open to a process that unfolds with subtlety
- You are seeking something purely analytical or solution-focused
- You are not open to working with sound or other holistic modalities
- You are looking to be guided without participation or self-awareness
