Testimonials
I’ve often felt disconnected, in one way or another, especially from myself, and I’ve sought out many resources to reconnect. It wasn’t until I was told about and listened to Lotus Sound Bath that I not only found avenues that made connecting with myself and the universe much more accessible, but it also felt as if the prerecorded therapies were somehow made especially for me. I feel more like myself every time I listen. It’s very apparent that Douglas not only enjoys this work, he puts a lot of thought into every bit of resonance and vibrancy of frequency. I could not recommend Lotus Sound Bath highly enough!
So far, I have attended one sound bath at the Lotus studio and one at Badlands Yoga. Douglas is warm, welcoming, and highly skilled at creating a safe, soothing environment, leading you through the bath to release mind chatter, and creating waves of nuanced sound that wash through your energetic and physical bodies. A deeply grounding and restorative practice, I highly recommend a sound bath with Douglas if you want to slow down and mindfully reconnect to the now moment.
It is hard to describe or do justice to this experience. The sound of the bowls and gongs, and the layering of the sounds creates a soothing, cleansing wave through the body. I came out so relaxed and recharged. You have to experience it to appreciate the experience.

Absolutely unparalleled! From the subtlety of the sound, melodies, harmonies, punctuations to the adept control of sound intensity, Lotus Sound Bath exceeds every expectation we've developed over decades of enjoying sound baths and healing. We had a couple's sound bath for our anniversary, and it was the ideal way to decompress and experience deep connection. Set the tone for a blissful staycation filled with ease and love!
I was a bit skeptical to try a sound bath. To be honest I thought it was a little gimmicky and I didn’t think I could benefit from it. After experiencing Lotus Sound Bath, my doubts have melted away. It was a completely mesmerizing and entrancing experience. The sounds and tones of the instruments seem to vibrate the cells in your body until you can only close your eyes and give in to the relaxation that washes over you. Doug is an incredibly gifted guide who takes great pride in the craft. He gets beautiful tones out of the instruments and has gone through great lengths to further his mastery of this practice. I highly recommend Lotus Sound Baths to anyone who is looking for an alternative yet approachable way to achieve peak relaxation.
A while back a friend gifted me a sound bath at Amy Baca art studio. It was a very relaxing experience, one I wished to repeat. Since then I've been to Douglas' studio and also the monthly events at the Cathedral. I look forward to every time I'm surrounded by the healing sounds and the outstanding Douglas Cardwell.
After having had a taste of what Douglas can do with sound at a free event at Fusion, we were glad to be able to get into his session at Sway Studio. (It sold out.) The full session was very powerful and healing. What a great meditation for a Sunday afternoon! Will definitely keep track of opportunities to participate in (a) Lotus sound bath again.
Was able to join Lotus Sound Bath for their monthly donation based sound bath. It’s held the first Monday of the month at Cathedral of St John. It was a fantastic, restorative way to start the month. I highly recommend it to all.

From our Partners
"I had Douglas come and play for my clients at my wellness center, and everyone was amazed by the experience- which is truly hard to describe. My clients stated that they felt the energy move through their bodies, they felt the release of old injuries, deep relaxation, meditation, activation of their pituitary glands, and transportation into the cosmos. What a gift to experience Lotus Sound Bath. And Douglas is truly kind, thoughtful, and professional. I highly recommend it!"

“After spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to bring my team together in a way that supported our sense of togetherness while at the same time providing a break from the constant engagement that our work requires, I ultimately settled on a Lotus Sound Bath session. I was first amazed by how serene the studio was. The atmosphere felt very relaxing, calming and perfectly welcoming with everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable. The session itself was soothing and we all talked later about how it stimulated our ability to rest and how deeply we were able to relax. It felt so good to bring my team together in this way and to offer the gift of rest and healing. We felt more connected to each other simply by being! Thank you Douglas, we will see you again!”

“I recently held a Lotus Sound Bath at The Salt Cave, which was truly an amazing experience. The soothing sounds of the crystal singing bowls, gongs, and other instruments created a sense of calm and relaxation that I'd never felt before. The vibrations from the instruments seemed to wash away any stress or tension in my body and mind, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Douglas was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the practice, which added to the overall positive energy of the session. I highly recommend the Lotus Sound Bath to anyone looking to unwind and connect with themselves on a deeper level. It truly was a transformative experience.”

“It has been an incredible gift to have Douglas Cardwell come to Nirguna Yoga and offer such a profound form of healing to our community. His complete mastery over the medium of sound and the sacred space has created life altering experiences for those who were blessed to attend. Everyone left feeling uniquely transformed, feeling restored, relaxed, and calm - both mentally and physically. The effects lasting long after the evening ended. We recommend the experience for anyone who is in need of deep relaxation, which is basically everyone! Douglas will take you on a journey into his world of sacred sound and it will change you!”
