Sound Healing for Nervous System Regulation
A trauma informed, whole person approach to healing the mind, body, and system.
The Returning Place was created as a sanctuary for reconnection— to yourself, your story, and your nervous system. Rooted in trauma informed care, creative expression, and embodied practices, we help individuals, teams, and communities rediscover what safety and belonging feel like in the body.
Each service blends evidence based therapy with restorative, sensory-driven healing— designed to help you soften, unlearn stress and survival patterns, and return home to yourself.

Sound Healing & & Nervous System Reset
For nervous system reset, emotional restoration, focus, and embodied calm.
Using frequency, vibration, and intention, sound healing supports the body’s innate ability to regulate and release stress. Each session combines traditional instruments — crystal bowls, ocean drums, chimes, and grounding rhythms — with guided meditation and breathwork. Perfect for those seeking relaxation, improved sleep, and inner child connection.

For teams and organizations seeking wellness informed culture and restoration.
We collaborate with hospitals, universities, and companies to create psychologically safe spaces for their people to recharge and reconnect.
Offerings include:
Mind-body restoration workshops
Leadership and emotional intelligence trainings
Sound based resilience programs
Culturally responsive mental health education
Narrative Healing & Expressive Arts
For those ready to transform emotion into meaning and story.
Our creative healing sessions use art, journaling, and narrative exploration to process grief, identity shifts, personal evolution, and emotions. These sessions invite you to externalize your inner world— through imagery, color, or written reflection — and to re-author your story with gentleness and agency.
Approaches include guided journaling, expressive arts integration, and trauma informed narrative therapy. Ideal for creatives, healers, high impact professionals, or anyone navigating burnout, transitions, or needs around emotional processing.
For those outside of Los Angeles, virtual workshops and guided sound experiences are also available.
Wherever you are, The Returning Place invites you to pause, listen, and begin your return home.
