Questions
Including the ones people are slightly embarrassed to ask. None of them are strange.
Before You Arrive
I've never done anything like this. Is that a problem?
It's the most common way to start. Sound healing requires no prior experience, flexibility, or belief in anything in particular. You lie down, you're covered and supported, and you are not asked to do, say, or perform anything.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear something you'd be comfortable lying still in for an hour — layers help, because body temperature tends to drop when you settle. Bring water. For dream interpretation, bring any notes you have, even fragments.
Do you offer sessions remotely?
Dream interpretation works well over video and is offered remotely. Sound healing is offered in person only because the physical presence and resonance of the bowls are central to the experience.
The Work Itself
Will I fall asleep during a sound bath?
Quite possibly, and that's a fine outcome. The state sound induces sits on the border of sleep, and the nervous system does not need you conscious to benefit. Nobody will wake you or single you out.
What if I don't remember my dreams?
Most people remember more than they think once the dreams have somewhere to go. Bring a fragment, a single image, or a recurring feeling on waking. Part of the session is a journaling method that improves recall, and it tends to work within a couple of weeks.
Is this a substitute for therapy or medical care?
No, and it is never presented as one. The Afterglow offers complementary wellness services. No condition is diagnosed or treated here. If you are managing a mental or physical health concern, please stay in the care of a licensed professional — this work sits alongside that, not in place of it.
Booking & Membership
How do I book?
Everything is booked through the calendar on the Book page, which shows real-time availability for sound healing, dream interpretation, and upcoming community sound baths. You'll complete a short intake and waiver at checkout, and receive confirmation and reminders automatically.
What's your cancellation policy?
Private sessions can be rescheduled or cancelled up to 24 hours ahead at no charge. Inside 24 hours the session is charged in full, because the room is reserved and the time can't be refilled. Group events can be cancelled up to 12 hours ahead for account credit.
Is membership available?
Not yet. The Afterglow membership is still being developed, with no active tiers, prices, or purchase links. Join the email list to hear when it opens.
Can I cancel a membership?
Membership is not currently available. Cancellation terms will be published clearly before enrollment opens.
Do you offer sliding scale or community pricing?
Yes. A number of spots at each community sound bath are held at reduced or no cost, and sliding scale is available for people in early recovery and for those for whom cost is the only barrier. Email hello@theafterglowla.com — no explanation or documentation is required.

Questions before booking are normal and welcome. There's no wrong one.
