About
My name is Mika Benjamin
I started playing music at 15. Toured South Africa in bands for years. At no point did I expect that to lead to teaching people about the nervous system in a room full of singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks.
But here we are.
Somewhere along the way I got less interested in music as performance and more interested in what sound actually does to the body — the brainwave research, the physiology, the measurable effects of sustained vibration on the nervous system. That shift changed how I worked. It also made the work a lot harder to explain at dinner parties.
I've spent the past six years as a certified sound therapy practitioner and yoga teacher — over 2,000 sessions, workshops and retreats across Europe, the UK and South Africa. I work with Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, monochords, drums, and chimes. Each instrument does something different to the body, and knowing what and why is most of the job.
My approach blends solid science with direct experience. I'm not going to tell you to leave your rational brain at the door. I'd rather show you what happens when you bring it with you.

WHATIS
SOUND HEALING?
"Healing" is the process of becoming well again, both on the physical, as well as the emotional plane. It is a process of improvement, of recovery, of restoration.
"Sound Healing" is a full-body experience utilizing sound, frequencies, and vibration to promote relaxation, emotional release, and a sense of overall well-being.
SOUND HEALING MEANS REST, AND ENABLES YOU TO LOOK INWARD.
THIS SOMATIC EXPERIENCE ENABLES YOU TO ENTER A SPACE OUTSIDE OF THE RATIONAL BRAIN,
A SPACE TO SIMPLY FEEL,
WITHOUT INTELLECTUALISING THE SENSATIONS WITHIN.

THE BEAUTY OF SOUND HEALING IS THAT SOUND WILL ALWAYS MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE AND TAKE YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO.
