Welcome
Sound, vibration & the invitation to simply be
Cotswold Soul offers gentle, grounding sound bath experiences for individuals, families, friendship groups, retreats, events, and organisations across the Cotswolds. Through the gentle power of sound and vibration, each session creates space to release tension, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with your natural state of balance.
There is something deeply powerful about coming together with intention. In a world that often feels busy and disconnected, these sessions offer a space to pause, to be held, and to reconnect - not only with yourself, but with one another.
Based in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, with a private studio and community venues locally, Cotswold Soul is also available to travel throughout the Cotswolds.

The Benefits of Sound & Deep Rest
A supportive space to soften the mind and settle the body
Stress & Tension
Eases physical tension and helps soften accumulated stress held in the body.
Nervous System
Encourages calm, presence, and nervous system regulation - a return to rest.
Emotional Balance
Supports emotional release and inner balance, gently and without effort.
Sleep & Rest
Improves the quality of sleep and cultivates deeper, more restorative rest.
Clarity & Perspective
Creates mental clarity and renewed perspective - space to see more clearly.
Overall Wellbeing
Supports lasting wellbeing through deep, intentional relaxation.
Led by Rachael Tallents, each session gently combines the resonant tones of Crystal Tones® Alchemy™ singing bowls with guided meditation, breathwork, and intentional rest.
Together, these elements create a supportive space to soften the mind, settle the body, and encourage the natural release of built up physical, mental, and emotional tension.
Designed to guide the body into a parasympathetic rest and restore state, the sessions support nervous system regulation and deep relaxation. Many people leave feeling calmer, lighter, more grounded, and deeply replenished.

Your session, from arrival to deep rest
I
Arrive & settle in
Come as you are. There is nothing to prepare or perfect. Arrive a few minutes early, remove your shoes, and find a comfortable spot. Yoga mats, blankets, and cushions are welcome, bring your own or use what's provided.
II
Lie back and receive
You will be invited to lie down or sit comfortably, fully supported. We begin with gentle breathwork to ground your energy, calm the nervous system, and help you settle into the space. There is nothing you need to do, simply rest and receive. The sound will do what it knows how to do.
III
Let the tones work
As the sound journey unfolds, gentle guided meditation will support you in softening deeper into presence and relaxation. You may experience deep rest, emotional release, physical warmth, or a quiet sense of lightness. Each session offers exactly what is needed in that moment, and every experience is unique.
IV
Return gently
As the session closes, you are guided slowly back to the room. Take your time. There is no rush. Many people describe feeling deeply rested, clear, and held, a sense of coming home to themselves.
FAQ
Sound bath questions
Is a sound bath the same as a gong bath?
Both are forms of sound healing. Cotswold Soul sessions mainly use crystal singing bowls and other restorative instruments rather than gongs.
What should I bring to a sound bath?
Please bring anything that helps you feel warm and comfortable, such as a yoga mat, blanket, cushion or eye mask.
Where are sessions held?
Cotswold Soul offers sound baths in Cheltenham, Charlton Kings and across the wider Cotswolds, including private and corporate sessions.
