SoundPlay Works™ is designed to meet the growing need for inclusive social-emotional learning, nervous system regulation, and creativity-based enrichment for neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals. Programs include school-wide sound journeys, hands-on instrument making, movement-based mindfulness, and professional development rooted in sound awareness and emotional intelligence.
Whether working with youth, neurodivergent learners, corporate teams, or health and wellness practitioners, we create safe, dynamic spaces where every individual can explore, express, and regulate through the power of sound.
With a growing team of trained facilitators and post-secondary arts and wellness students, SoundPlay Works™ is leading a movement in Resonant Learning, a new paradigm of education that empowers, fosters authentic engagement, and provides an experiential context for self-discovery.
Mission: To cultivate social connectedness by empowering individuals of all ages through resonant learning experiences that integrate sound, breath, movement, and expressive arts, fostering emotional intelligence, creativity, and well-being in inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally respectful ways.
Vision: We are committed to becoming a nationally recognized model for sound-based education and wellness, offering professional, culturally grounded programs across schools, workplaces, and communities. We envision a world where every person, regardless of age, ability, or setting, can access resonant learning experiences that nurture well-being, creativity, and connection through sound, breath, movement, and expressive arts.
SoundPlay Works™ is an educational wellness organization that uses therapeutic sound, mindful movement, breathwork, and expressive arts to support nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and sensory integration. We offer school programs, corporate wellness sessions, facilitator training, and immersive sound experiences grounded in neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, and ancient healing traditions.
Sound Medicine is the intentional use of frequencies, tones, rhythm, and vibration to support relaxation, regulation, and overall well-being. Using biofield attuning instruments such as Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and the human voice, sound engages the brain, breath, and nervous system to help restore balance across the mind, body, and emotions.
Within our private practice, this work is expanded through Sonara Somatics™—a body-based, integrative approach that combines therapeutic sound, breathwork, and somatic awareness. Somatics refers to the body as it is experienced from within, allowing individuals to tune into sensations, release stored tension, and gently shift emotional and physiological patterns.
Sound stimulates the brain’s electrical patterns (brainwaves), often guiding them into states associated with relaxation, focus, or meditation (e.g., alpha, theta, and delta). It also activates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system, helping reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and support emotional regulation. When experienced mindfully, sound can act as a direct pathway to stillness, presence, and emotional regulation.
Everyone! Our programming is designed for people of all ages and abilities. In schools, we support students with diverse learning needs, including neurodivergent learners, through multi-sensory, play-based sound experiences. In workplaces, our sessions help staff regulate stress, boost creativity, and reconnect to their inner rhythm. We also offer professional development and training for educators, wellness professionals, and sound practitioners.
Each SoundPlay session is a guided, experiential journey designed to support regulation, connection, and engagement through sound, breath, and movement.
Depending on the setting, sessions may include breathwork, humming and vocal exploration, gentle movement, guided awareness practices, live sound immersion (sound bath), storytelling, and interactive instrument play.
In schools, sessions are engaging and age-appropriate, offered as seated group experiences or hands-on workshops that support focus, emotional awareness, and sensory exploration.
In corporate and community settings, we facilitate wellness experiences for both small and large groups, incorporating breathwork, sound immersion, and gentle yoga and qigong-based practices to support relaxation, focus, and team connection. Sessions may also include rhythm-based team building and optional cacao-infused sound journeys.
In private practice, sessions may deepen into a more personalized experience through Sonara Somatics™, integrating therapeutic sound, breathwork, somatic awareness, and InnerLife coaching to support emotional integration and nervous system regulation.
Every session is thoughtfully tailored to the participants and delivered with a trauma-informed, inclusive approach—creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can engage in ways that feel comfortable, accessible, and meaningful.
Working with SoundPlay was an incredible experience. Their programs blend sound, mindfulness, and movement in a way that instantly reduces stress and fosters real connection. Our team left feeling energized, focused, and more in tune with each other. Truly a unique approach to holistic wellbeing and personal growth.
The SoundPlay journey and Wisdom circle is a wonderful night of sound and talk therapy. Heartsong starts the night off with her magical instruments with her beautiful voice chanting and singing. She then proceeds to her quartz singing bowls and the sound radiates through your body. It takes you to such a relaxed state. We then begin the wisdom circle. We sit in a circle and are passed a precious stone. It’s your turn to share. Those that professed they would say nothing well, the words flowed out of them. As did tears. Those that choose not to share don’t have to. What better place to share than with a group of supportive woman. Treat yourself to a wonderful evening. You won’t regret it.
Stephanie Heartsong’s facilitation and sound journey at my summer solstice retreat was a wonderful healing experience. She was a delight to work with, and my participants felt calm and peaceful after her sound bath. I would hire SoundPlay Works again for sure.
A heartfelt thank you to Stephanie from SoundPlay Works for sharing her beautiful Soundscapes with our Day Wellness group at Dr. Kemp’s House! Your generosity and healing energy created such a peaceful and uplifting experience.
