Sound Baths in Chicago & Chicagoland
Sixth & Twelfth Sound offers grounded sound bath experiences using crystal singing bowls and a gong for individuals, groups, workplaces, and communities throughout Chicago and Chicagoland, with virtual sessions available anywhere.
What Is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is an immersive listening experience that uses instruments such as crystal singing bowls and gongs to create layers of resonant sound and vibration.
During a sound bath, you simply get comfortable, close your eyes if you’d like, and listen. The changing tones give your attention somewhere to rest, creating space to slow down and step away from the constant stimulation of everyday life.
Many people use sound baths for relaxation, meditation, stress management, and nervous system support because there’s nothing you need to achieve or perform during the experience.
Despite the name, there’s no water involved. You’re being “bathed” in sound as the tones and vibrations fill the space around you.
No experience is required. You simply get comfortable and listen.

Why People Choose Sound Baths
People are drawn to sound baths for many reasons, but most are looking for the same thing: a way to slow down and feel more grounded.
A sound bath for relaxation and stress relief gives you dedicated time away from screens, notifications, conversations, and the pressure to keep doing. As you rest, the tones of crystal singing bowls and the gong give your attention somewhere simple to land, making it easier to step out of constant stimulation for a while.
Many people use sound baths to support relaxation, meditation, mental clarity, stress management, and nervous system care. Sound baths can be especially appealing if sitting in silence doesn’t come naturally, because the sound gives your mind something to focus on while you rest.
There’s no physical exertion required and no previous experience needed.
At Sixth & Twelfth Sound, I offer sound baths in Chicago and Chicagoland that are designed to feel approachable, grounded, and easy to participate in. There’s nothing to perform, achieve, or get “right.”
You simply get comfortable, listen, and give yourself permission to pause.
Meet Your Sound Practitioner
I’m Courtney, a certified sound practitioner serving Chicago and Chicagoland through Sixth & Twelfth Sound.
My approach to sound baths is grounded, practical, and intentionally approachable. I use crystal singing bowls and a gong to create experiences centered around rest, listening, and giving your nervous system a break from constant stimulation.
Before becoming a sound practitioner, I spent more than 15 years working in corporate environments. I understand what it feels like to move through demanding schedules, long workdays, and periods when slowing down can feel harder than it should.
My own experience with burnout eventually led me to sound, meditation, and a different relationship with rest. Today, I offer community, private, corporate, and virtual sound baths designed for people who want wellness to feel useful, accessible, and human.
