The Sound Blanket Experience…
Just how it sounds - you will be wrapped and surrounded by the healing tones and vibrations of Tibetan Singing Bowls carefully positioned around your body as you lie fully clothed in a rest position on your back.
Here you will feel totally supported as you ‘tune-out’, restore and gently let go. This service is predominately about easing stress and anxiety, helping to take the edge off any difficult emotions while finding clarity within your own experience.
This is a genuine space that truly separates you from the barriers that prevent you from really ‘switching off’. Your nervous system will find the place of rest it so deeply craves, and you will carry this new sense of peace and calm with you for days to follow.
Each Sound Blanket appointment takes place at Urban Wellness in Port Adelaide, and includes the grounding sweet smells of Kindred Self essential oils, pot of organic herbal tea, and intention setting with Holistic Counsellor & Sound Therapist Kyrie Kohlhagen.
Receive a Sound Blanket Loyalty Card at your next appointment. We’d love to reward you for your commitment to ‘tune-out’ and restore life balance.
Tending to an overactive Nervous System…
When we are super busy and juggling multiple tasks our body functions in a stressed state and this can slowly become what seems like normal - but this way of being is not sustainable. When the 3 major stress hormones Cortisol, Norepinephrine and Adrenalin are in excess this creates a situation where all of our hormones are thrown out of balance. Over time stress affects our sleep, immune function, physical health and negatively impacts our mind and overall emotional resilience.
Anything we can do to switch-off our overactive sympathetic nervous system (the fight or flight response) and reactivate the para-sympathetic state (rest and digest) will help to bring us back into alignment to support our overall health and wellbeing.
Tibetan Sound Therapy is one of the most accessible ways to re-balance and reduce the side-effects of stress overall. This ancient healing modality utilises deep vibrations and soothing sounds to bring deep peace to the whole body, the nervous system and mind - and this feeling of true peace can last for many days following.

-
This service is currently designed and modelled around supporting people who are 15+.
-
Please wear loose comfortable clothing, preferably without buttons and belt buckles. You will be removing your shoes for the sound experience, so do bring a pair of socks if you prefer to keep your feet warm. There will also be the option to use a light throw rug or weighted blanket and eye pillow to ensure you are completely comfortable.
-
After your Sound Blanket, you will feel very relaxed, so we suggest booking your appointment at a time where you don't need to rush around and do multiple things immediately afterwards. It's so beautiful to honour how you feel after your appointment and to make the most of this blissful state of being. You will still be alert enough to drive, and will feel refreshed to go back to work if needed.
-
Kindred Self is built around incorporating natural plant aromatics to support mental and physical health. Synthetic fragrance can have a negative impact to our overall health and therefore we maintain a fragrance free policy at our premises. Kyrie is also very sensitive to perfumes which can trigger headaches when in a confined space, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could please avoid wearing any perfumes or aftershave on the day of your appointment. Thank you!
-
It is optional to pay for your appointment when booking online, or payment can also be made on the day of your appointment. We accept EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard and cash payments.
Please respect that Kindred Self is a small business and we wish to help as many people as we can. With this in mind, it is important that you provide at least 24 hours notice via text, phone or email if you need to cancel your appointment and would like a refund. This will then provide enough time to make alternative arrangements to fill your appointment. If you have already paid for your appointment upfront, we can easily reschedule to another time that is more convenient for you. description

Hello ...
I have been described as a healthy tree hugging hipster, creative, motivated, dynamic, quirky, nurturing and resourceful! That’s a lot to live up to, but one thing I’m certain of: I'm still a work-in-progress.
But putting all labels aside, and seeing through other perceptions, deep down I’m just a 50 (something) year old girl whose core value in life is to feel fully connected. Connected to all living things: people, animals, nature and myself.
Kindred Self is my way to nourish this core value each and every day. I love to share stories, tender moments and support people who need nurturing and kindness in their life. I have a lot of that to give!!
How I arrived here ...
My path to Kindred Self began about 15 years ago when I first felt a strong sense that one day I would do healing work. That thought simply popped into my heart and head! A year or so later I enrolled in my Advanced Diploma of Counselling, and upon completing my studies in 2015, I created Kindred Self.
I have found my purpose, something that is heartfelt and supports me at my core. I can offer healing to multiple individuals in one day, authentically hold a nurturing and supportive space for them, and I feel absolutely blessed to share these intimate and tender moments with my beautiful clients.
Kindred Self ...
Kindred represents the connection and resonance we can experience with others, and Self is a reminder that YOU are the most valuable thing that you have! So, Kindred Self is all about creating an experience to connect with and give back to yourself. In doing so, an opening for healing, self love, growth and abundant living is realised.
Through my healing work, my intention is to break down any stigma associated with mental and emotional health and to challenge the thought that therapy is something we only look to do when life gets tricky. Imagine the amazing growth and insight we could personally achieve when we are not clouded by our suffering!!
I would love to share with you my bespoke therapy tools and experiences to help you to live your best life!
