Sohum Wellness Sound Bath: Recalibrating Body and Mind in Dubai
Earlier this month, we gathered in the peaceful surroundings of Sohum Wellness, tucked away in Al Quoz, Dubai—a sanctuary founded by holistic visionary Tanya S. Mansotra. With a warm, minimalist interior and a commitment to integrative healing, Sohum provides the perfect container for restoration-focused practices.
An Immersive Sound Healing Ritual
The event unfolded with intention-setting and gentle breathwork to guide participants inward. As a certified hypnotherapist, I integrated hypnotic suggestions to support mental clarity and ease. This opening allowed the group to soften into deeper states before the sound journey began.
Layers of Therapeutic Sound
The experience unfolded as a fully immersive journey combining some of my most beloved instruments. We began with the deep, resonant tones of Crystal Tones™ Alchemy Bowls, setting the foundation for nervous system relaxation. Grotta Sonora and Paiste gongs followed, offering powerful low frequencies that gently moved energy through the body. Theta Drums Ocean Drum introduced flowing, rhythmic textures that helped dissolve layers of tension. The soft rain-like sound of the Rainstick Dreams rainstick, Koshi chimes, and Flow chime invited guests to drop deeper into stillness. Throughout the session, I also incorporated select shamanic tools to support emotional release and grounding.
At the close of the experience, each guest received an individual 528 Hz tuning fork activation—a frequency often associated with regeneration and heart-centered balance. This final moment offered a gentle, personal integration before returning to the evening.
Many described this as one of the most profound sound baths in Dubai—there was a palpable shift from tension to peace and presence.
Integrating Holism: Ayurveda Meets Sound
Sohum Wellness is more than just sound healing; it’s a holistic experience. Adjacent to the studio is Taama, an Ayurvedic-inspired restaurant offering plant-based mindful cuisine. After the sound bath, guests enjoyed nourishing, intention-filled meals designed to support integration and balance.
Why Sound Therapy Matters in Urban Life
In fast-paced urban environments, sound therapy is essential for nervous system regulation. Private sound baths guide the brain into alpha and theta states—supporting deeper release and restoration. This makes them a valuable offering for luxury wellness retreats and individuals seeking profound stress relief in Dubai and beyond.
Supporting Daily Rituals
One of the most meaningful outcomes shared by guests was discovering easy-to-practice rituals at home. Whether it’s five minutes of breathwork, a short self-hypnosis script, or playing a Crystal Bowl before bed, these tools help cement lasting wellbeing.
The Venue: A Thoughtful Healing Ecosystem
Sohum Wellness is an embodiment of integrative design and intention. From intentional lighting to aromatherapy and sound acoustics, the space has been carefully curated by Tanya S. Mansotra to feel both grounding and expansive. Guests consistently praise Sohum as a “new standard” in Dubai wellness spaces
