Sound baths in Kansas City & Overland Park

Carried Sound brings live sound baths to groups across Kansas City. You lie down, Joann plays crystal bowls, bronze bowls, gong and chimes around you, and for an hour nothing is asked of you. Book a private or corporate session for 1–40 people, or drop in on a Wednesday.

  • Be guidedA short yoga nidra practice walks your attention through the body.
  • ListenCrystal bowls tuned to 432Hz, bronze bowls, gong and chimes, layered softly by hand.

Meet Joann, your sound practitioner

Before the bowls, Joann tells a story or two and gets the room laughing. Then she goes quiet, and so does everyone else.

She brings twenty years of yoga, Ayurveda, esthetics and spa work to every session, so the details are handled: warm blankets, a clear welcome and a volume that never startles.
