Our checklist gives you a comprehensive overview of the equipment and accessories you can use for a sound massage. In our list you will find inspiration, whether you are a beginner, are planning to set yourself up more professionally or have been working with sound professionally for some time.
Is the checklist also relevant for sound massage beginners?
If you want to start with sound massage for the first time, you do not need much: a Universal Bowl and a mallet are enough to try out different areas of application and experience the effect of the sounds for yourself, or to let others experience it. Whether you need any further equipment depends entirely on your wishes and needs or those of the person receiving the sound. Our checklist is meant to inspire you and show you ways to shape your sound massage practice individually.
