Your Sonic Sanctuary Awaits You
Our Services
Personal Sound Therapy
Personalized 1:1 sessions offer a focused and in-depth sound therapy and wellness opportunity. Specific protocols, as established by the International Academy of Sound Healing (IASH), can be introduced to help with a number of physical ailments, mind detoxification, aura cleansing and detoxification, and nervous system regulation. I can offer this service in the comfort of your home, within a reasonable distance from my studio.
Group In-Person Sound Baths
Custom Sound Bath recordings can be made to support your personal wellness and healing regime. They can be available as high quality audio files for your computer, mp3’s for your mobile device, or on CD. Prior to recording, I will first consult with you to learn your specific desires and needs. Because of my extensive experience with recording, I am able to record Singing Bowls and Gongs so as to fully capture the sounds of these instruments with a clarity and presence unusual to the Sound Bath experience. You will be treated to high fidelity representations of these spectacular instruments.

Personalized Recordings
Sound and Gong Baths are available for small and large groups of attendees. Small groups can be seen in Bob’s home studio. Larger groups are best served in spaces and facilities that can comfortably accommodate more people such as Yoga and Wellness studios, Meditation centers, Healthcare facilities, and Libraries. Attendees in group sessions benefit from the personal brainwave entrainment that singing bowls provide, but also benefit from the communal experience. In either case, you will move into more profound states of relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation.
Pay Per View Virtual Sound Baths on Zoom Coming Soon
Applying years of professional audio production experience to the Virtual Sound Bath experience, I will deliver online Sound Baths with an audio quality previously unavailable to the medium. Nothing will replace the live Sound Bath experience - the vibrational energy of the bowls and the gongs in the room can’t be recorded! However, my Virtual Sound Baths present a unique perspective that is unavailable to attendees of Live Sound Baths: As I close-mic all my instruments, you essentially will experience a Sound Bath as I, the practitioner, experience it. In a Live Sound Bath, you’re positioned some distance from the bowls, so you’ll hear them in the room, with all the expansive room acoustics. In my new Virtual Sound Baths, you’ll hear these instruments UP CLOSE and PERSONAL, as if you’re playing them yourself. More info about this EXCITING new pay per view Virtual Sound Bath will be posted here, on IG and FB

“Hosting Bob Frye of Querencia Soundworks at my yoga studio for a sound bath is nothing short of magical for our community. I've also had the pleasure of collaborating with him.

Benefits of Sound Healing
Neuroscience confirms what Yogis have known for thousands of years:
Sound Baths are a science-backed reset for individuals and groups.
The nervous system shifts from stress mode to a deeply restorative rest.
The heart rate slows, breath deepens - the body feels it is safe to let go.
Brainwaves slow down and move from beta to theta and delta through a process known as entrainment. This fosters increased creativity, memory processing, and emotional restoration, where the body does its deepest and most profound healing.
Sound Baths deliver significant health benefits:
Stress Reduction and Nervous System Reset
Increased Focus and Mental Clarity
Improved Emotional Well-Being
A Grounding Calmness
Our Ethos
Querencia Soundworks is your Sonic Sanctuary, a safe and welcoming environment for relaxation, meditation, personal growth and rejuvenation. I have a deep, personal belief in the healing and restorative qualities of singing bowls through direct, personal and profound experiences that have guided and shaped my life. The profound states of relaxation and centering that I have come to know through regular bowl meditation is what I so passionately want to share with my community. More and more medical and scientific research confirms what many of us have come to know first-hand: that the vibrational energy of Singing Bowls and Gongs does indeed influence the body and spirit in ways profound and real, they are both a new and an ancient path to health and wellness.
