Sound therapy uses the tones and vibrations of Tibetan bowls, crystal singing bowls and sometimes gongs or chimes to guide the body into deep relaxation. The bowls are played around you and sometimes placed directly on the body: their vibrations travel through the tissues and settle the mind almost without effort. Many people describe it as meditation that happens by itself.
At Izzy we offer a classic sound bath or the Vapa Kaia ritual, which combines Tibetan bowls placed on the body with precise sound sequences. It is a complementary well-being practice with no medical purpose, which may help to release anxiety and restore more regular sleep. Available at Izzy Spa and at Izzy Studio in Verbier.
Who is it for?
Sound therapy suits people who struggle to switch off: a racing mind, light sleep, difficulty meditating alone. It is also for those who would rather not be touched for an hour and prefer an approach without manipulation. Children love the Tibetan bowl; the 30-minute version is designed for them. After a day on the slopes above Verbier it makes a lovely alternative, or complement, to the Izzy signature massage.
How the treatment goes
- Welcome and consultation We spend a few minutes on how you are today and how you respond to sound: some people prefer strong vibrations with bowls placed on the body, others a softer, more distant bath of sound.
- Settling in Lying down, fully clothed, under a blanket, eyes closed or covered. A few guided breaths prepare you to listen.
- The sound bath The practitioner plays the bowls around you, varying pitch, intensity and rhythm, then places certain bowls on the belly, chest or back so that the vibration passes through the body. Your inner tempo slows; many people slip into a half-sleep.
- Back to calm The sounds grow further apart and a final chime marks the end. We let you come back without hurry, then talk about what you felt.

Good to know
Wear soft clothing without metal fastenings that might buzz. Sessions are booked individually; for a sound bath for two or a small group, send us a message. It pairs beautifully with a body scrub or a visit to the Spa's hammam. Bowls are not placed on the body during pregnancy or if you have a pacemaker; the sound bath itself remains possible at a distance from the body. Please mention any sensitivity to sound.
Frequently asked questions
It is a form of sound therapy in which Tibetan bowls are placed directly on the body in a set sequence, in addition to the sound bath around you. The vibration is felt physically, in the belly, chest and back. It takes place within the same 60-minute session (CHF 140).
Not at all. Sound therapy asks for no attentive listening; the idea is to let the sounds wash past. People who fall asleep benefit as much as those who stay awake.
The children's Tibetan bowl session lasts 30 minutes (CHF 60), with a parent present if they wish. It is more playful: the child can touch the bowls, feel the vibration in their hands, then lie down for a short listen. It suits any child old enough to lie still for a few minutes.
The durations shown are the actual treatment time. Allow about ten extra minutes for the welcome and for changing.
