Harriet Emily - Sound

Harriet is a London based wellness and healing practitioner who has a wealth of knowledge across practices such as Sound Healing, Cacao Ceremonies, Yoga, Tarot and Crystals to mention a few. Harriet shares her story growing up with spirituality being an intrinsic part of life and why she chose to focus on Sound Healing amongst all the other practices she has mastered along the way.

Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how you came to work in the healing arts?

I was actually raised spiritually by my mother and started attending healing circles and psychic circles with her from the age of 5. Spirituality has been around me my whole life, and I can’t really imagine things without it! At 18 I decided that healing and wellbeing was the arena I wanted to work in, after I began to practice yoga and started connecting to the healing power of sound. I loved having the opportunity to help others and bring some joy and happiness to their day.

What encouraged you to focus on sound healing in particular?

I have always loved how universal sound is. Sound doesn’t tell us how to live, what to do or how to be, it simply provides us with a vibration that offers us an opportunity to listen, feel and be. Everyone has their own unique connection to sound and music, as well as memories and experiences connected to it. Every day I am fascinated by all of the ways that different sounds can make us feel. I have found that when we connect to sound in a sound bath, we are able to access a deep space of meditation – and in this space we can begin to see and understand how we feel. By having this opportunity to connect to ourselves through sound, and by bringing the mind into a state of meditation, we can begin to understand these emotions as they rise up to the surface of our consciousness. The more we connect to this place, the more we may understand ourselves, and thus begin to arrive at a place of healing, transformation and being.

If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?

If something is meant to be, you will always be supported. If it doesn’t work out, then another opportunity is always right around the corner.

What is the most important thing to you in your work?

I follow three key pillars: authenticity, honesty and trust. These are three things that I find the most important in the healing sessions I provide.

Congratulations on your new brand for bath, skin and space potions, Soaking Spirit! Can you tell us about the products you will be offering?

Thank you! I am so excited for them to be launched into the world. The first product I am releasing is created for the home. My Energy Sprays ‘Inner Peace’ and ‘True Love’ are room sprays that have been carefully crafted to invoke the energy of love or peace into whatever room or space you are in. They are also perfect for resetting the energy of a space in between seeing clients at work.

How do you unwind and replenish?

My favourite way to unwind is by leaving the city and going to a sacred site – I love the abundance of ancient stone circles we have in the UK! There is so much beautiful energy at stone circles, they are a great place to recharge. If I need some peace, I like to go wherever there is water – rivers, waterfalls or the ocean.
