“I never thought, "I can't do this" or "I need drugs" or "take me to the hospital" because the bowl kept me present and grounded. I felt safe and calm during the contractions. I truly believe without the crystal singing bowl my labour would have been unbearable. I am generally an over thinker but as I said the bowl and toning gave me a singular present focus. I also love the sound the crystal singing bowl makes.”
–Toni Cronk
"I turned my yelling into deep, open toning sounds when my Mum was playing the SoundBirth bowl in the hospital room. I felt a bit embarrassed but once I realised how the sounds and bowl was masking the pain for me, I felt empowered to use my voice no matter what the others in the room thought about it.
–Cailee Mansfield
What is SoundBirth?
SoundBirth began during my third home birth in 2009 when my Mum instinctively began playing one of my crystal singing bowls that was in the corner of my bedroom while I was having a contraction.
The timing was perfect as my contractions were intensifying, and I was feeling the urge to vocalise due to the intensity, but I was embarrassed to make any noises in front of everyone (midwife, husband, friend, Mum). I had experienced self-consciousness and inhibition during my previous two home births as well.
However, as soon as the sound of the bowl filled the room, I found myself vocalising more, which I noticed brought significant relief. The room and everyone in it, seemed to fade away, leaving only the harmonious sounds I was creating with the bowl.
As the contraction eased, so did the sound of the bowl.
I was amazed by the dramatic reduction in my anxiety and pain levels!
From that point forward, I directed my Mum and my doula to play the bowl during every contraction for the next five hours... and during my fourth labor, my birth team alternated playing the bowl, this time for around 30 hours!
The sound of that resonant bowl provided the support and strength I needed to deliver my babies.
From that moment, I was determined to share this tool with expectant couples and birth professionals worldwide, to give them the chance to experience a “SoundBirth” as well.
Since then, SoundBirth tools have been utilised by doulas, midwives, and partners in home births and hospitals across Perth, WA, and globally, offering comfort and support to women during labour.

5 Benefits of Having a SoundBirth
SAFE AND UNINHIBITED
Women often feel safer, more confident and more at ease when vocalising during contractions if accompanied by the resonant sound of a crystal singing bowl.
CONNECTION
When a bowl is played in time with a woman’s contractions she feels heard and connected no matter where she ends up giving birth. Plus, it gives the partner a supportive role to play in the birth process!

OPEN LARYNX, OPEN CERVIX
Uninhibited vocalisation relaxes and opens the larynx which in turn relaxes and opens the cervix. When the cervix is relaxed it can prevent tearing and assist with dilation.
DISTRATION FROM PAIN
The resonant, pure sound of a crystal singing bowl gives a birthing woman something to focus on rather than pain, or unhelpful thoughts.

RELEASE OF OXYTOCIN
When a woman uses her voice without inhibition, she experiences the physical benefits such as lowered blood pressure, less pain, increase in oxygen, release of oxytocin, endorphins, melatonin, serotonin and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

“It was so helpful, having the bowls there. I truly believe they helped me in opening up and relaxing like I’ve never relaxed before.”

“I was able to “get in the zone” to focus and visualise full dilation, in spite of the pressure and hospital sounds that were going on around me. We did successfully dilate, and I had the vaginal birth I was hoping for.”

“If a contraction had a sound, it would be the sound of the crystal singing bowl.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use a crystal singing bowl?
To have a "true" SoundBirth experience YES, it is better to have the SoundBirth bowl there to support you. You will feel more uninhibited using your voice, more in "the zone", your partner will have a role to play, it will create sacred space no matter where you birth and more! If you don't have one yet you can purchase it from HERE or find a trained "SoundBirth Doula" who already owns one. Hiring a bowl could also be an option depending on where you live.
What is so great about the "SoundBirth Bowl"?
Through my experience in sound work, I've discovered the perfect pitch for the SoundBirth Bowl that's easy for anyone to vocalise - not too high or low. The bowl's size is ideal as well; it's neither too small nor too cumbersome. It's just right! That's why I've stopped offering options. Trust me on this one! You'll understand the reasons during the course, and I'm confident you and your partner will love it once you experience it firsthand.
How long will it take for my bowl to arrive?
Your bowl will be drop-shipped within 2-3 weeks to your home. Please let me know when it arrives! If you live in Perth and would prefer to hire a bowl you will be able to pick it up 3 weeks before your due date.
Will hospitals let me bring a bowl to birth?
As far as I'm aware, the choice of what to bring into the birthing room lies with the expectant mother. If she wishes to include a crystal singing bowl, then that is her prerogative! To date, there have been no reports of doulas, midwives, or couples being prohibited from bringing their bowl into the room. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Placing a sign on the door that lists the benefits could be a great way to inform those unfamiliar with SoundBirth.
What can I do with the bowl after the birth?
The bowl can be used to soothe both you and your baby following the birth. Additionally, I will provide suggestions on how to use it for manifestation and healing purposes in "The Magic of Sound" course.
When is the best time during pregnancy to have our 1:1 session?
All packages include a 2-hour 1:1 session with me. I suggest learning about the SoundBirth tools in your second trimester, which will provide plenty of time to practice toning with your crystal singing bowl. Additionally, it serves as an excellent relaxation tool, so the earlier you begin, the better.
I'm not musical. I can't sing. Nor can my partner. Can we still have a SoundBirth?
Remember, everyone is musical! From birth, you've been using your voice to make sounds, haven't you? And playing a crystal singing bowl is something anyone can do! So, absolutely, you can too! In the online course and our private session, I'll provide you with some tips to ensure that you feel confident in using your voice and playing your bowl during labour.
What if my partner doesn't want to play the bowl?
I've noticed that partners often become keen to play the singing bowl after they've experienced it themselves. Once they grasp how the bowl's sound supports your vocalisation, which in turn aids the birthing process, they're usually more willing to participate. However, if he's hesitant, or if you prefer his physical support, consider assigning the role of bowl player to another supporter or hiring a "SoundBirth Doula". The resonating sound could be an essential comfort during contractions, as it has been for many women.
Can you attend our birth and play the bowl for us?
I'd love to and it would be a great honour ... BUT because of my busy life I just can't commit to attending births at the moment!
But I DO offer support before and after the birth if you choose the Ultimate Support package OR FIND A TRAINED SOUNDBIRTH DOULA!
