“I’ve been to many events and had many experiences but none are as unforgettable and deeply affecting as that of a sound gong bath with Martha Collard. The vibrations still resonate in my mind and remind me of a time when I felt truly at peace and relaxed even in the frenetic setting of a conference with 500 people. S. Frankel

…Not a day goes by that I don’t hear from someone who attend the Global Wellness Summit in Singapore, telling me how your gong baths and main stage performance changed their lives. I think it’s fair to say that you were the talk of the summit, and that’s quite something. The only other person in recent memory who achieved that status was His Holiness the Dalai Lama, when we were in India.

This is particularly noteworthy because our audience, as you know, is by invitation-only, C-suite executives, most running multi-national corporations. For them to not just experience what you offered but to be moved by it, is a testament to the power of what you do. I was also personally moved by your work, and if it were possible, I’d make sure you were present at every future Summit.

I cannot thank you enough for sharing your exceptional, unique and powerful expertise and gifts. It was a remarkable, memorable experience.

With great admiration and affection

“Near the end of the bath I was floating in the cosmic among so much stars and light. Eventually my physical body became transparent and I was totally with the universe. Another wonderful experience of Oneness. Thanks for guiding me to this beautiful journey! ”

“I think gong bath is probably the most powerful healing practice I have experienced.”

“After HK100, came in. Slept well that night. Usually takes 4-5 nights to get back to prerace sleeping pattern. ”

“I don’t know what it is about those gongs but I just came home and busted through a bunch of blocks.”

“I attended 3 of Red Doors gong baths. After losing my husband I was looking for anything that could help me overcome the grief, tension and stress I was carrying. I suffered from shingles, insomnia, colds, migraine headaches and high blood pressure. I avoided as much medication as I possibly could but nothing helped. After the first group session I could feel my body relaxing. By the end of the second session there had been a definite change in the tension I felt in my entire body. Martha suggested focusing on an issue while mediating at the beginning of the gong baths. I focussed on releasing anger the first two sessions. The third I focussed on forgiveness. I felt as if a switch turn off and I was released from the guilt, pain and stress I had been feeling for a year. I left Hong Kong renewed. ”

“I personally felt moved by the vibration and sound of ‘gong’. It eased the stress of my brain and muscles immediately. I was relaxed with moments of peace and content. I believe this unusual type of meditation filters negative emotions while we are buried by packed schedules and decision-making meetings. I am not sure where is that magic coming from but it works on me. ”

“I really had no idea what to expect from a gong bath, which I think made the experience more genuine or affecting. It was so simple. All we did was walk into the room, lie down on the floor, close our eyes, and breathe. The entire atmosphere was created to be so calming. What I noticed were the ambiance sounds of birds. Truly, for a moment I wondered at how there could be such lovely bird calls in the middle of the city.

When I first closed my eyes, I just lay there listening to the reverberations of the gongs. At first, the sound seemed surreal. I was aware of the people lying next to me and their rustling and breathing. I can’t remember specifically when, but eventually I lapsed into this in between state of consciousness. I lost touch with my senses, but I think my brain was still active. Everything melded into the harmony of gong sounds. Then I didn’t hear the gongs anymore, and instead, random thoughts and musings rose to the foremost of my consciousness, only to be replaced by other things. It felt like I was asleep, but still awake. The most vivid memory of the experience I have was “waking up.” A bunch of us had to leave a bit early, so I was relying on Daisy to know when to leave. It was very strange, because I had my eyes closed and didn’t think I was tuned into any of my other senses, but all of a sudden I woke up and just knew that Daisy was up.

As we went outside, everything was calmer. The sun was shining and the weather was gorgeous. The rest of the day didn’t seem as hectic as it had before. On the car ride, the atmosphere was much more energised than the exhausted atmosphere of the bus ride there. Instead of being half asleep and unmotivated, there was chattering, laughing, and goodwill. ”

“I have been to many gong healings yet everything changed when I received a gong healing at Martha’s Red Doors studio. This gong session was deeply therapeutic and infused with spiritual healing. I realised that Martha sets up a space and plays in a way where the Spirits lead the session to allow for shamanic journeying, healing and transformation. I also felt that the Spirit of the Gong called me into service. Fast forward a year later and I was back for gong training with Martha (I could not consider anyone else, though there’s lots of trainings available in Australia). I wanted to learn how to play the gong for healing vs performance and I received what I was after. The gong training was deeply transformational and has resulted in an ongoing relationship and respect for the Spirit of the Gong, the spirits of the room and the power of working with sacred intention and in sacred space. Highly recommended”

“I enjoyed the gong bath the most –– it was such an ethereal experience that I don’t think I could replicate unless I went back. It relaxed me so much and made me feel so much better for the rest of that day even if I can’t have a gong bath experience everyday, Just being able to sit back and take a break has altered and decreased the stress levels in my life. ”

“I wanted to take the time to thank you for the space and teaching of the Gong. It was a transformative weekend for me, I am full of motivation and inspiration to continue my learning and passion for Gong healing. I have been practicing and spending time with my gong and can feel our bond towards each other every time we connect. Only now, after using what I learnt from you, and practicing am I starting to realize the power of the gong and impact the sound has on my health and well-being. May we all come together through love and healing. ”

“Enjoyed my gong bath today, experienced the vastness of universe and beauty of spirits. Truly astounding”

“The best gong experience I have ever had. Great studio! Feel so relaxed and amazed after Martha’s gong session! ”

“I did not know what to expect when I signed up for this session but was wonderfully surprised. The studio is very well thought out and immaculately clean and very calming. The session was very well paced with enough “talk” at the beginning to explain all but not TMI.”

“Before the event, I was worried and anxious. I had a lot of thoughts relating to my sickness, my future and my friends. My thoughts were running around my head. When the gongs were played, I had tears in my eyes at the beginning (I do not know the reason). The sound was like a big wave washing over my body, my head and my mind. I could feel that thoughts were swept away by the sound. Although I was lying on the floor, I could feel that there was something vibrating from the ground into my body. I felt happy and rejuvenated. My mind was clear and calm. I am glad that I had a chance to experience the power of gong bath”

“I really enjoyed the full moon meditation last time . afterwards, i felt my aura was very clean and full of joy and energy for a whole week ! it was really amazing experience . thank you so much for the gift”

“Wonderful !!! I still have a very strong feeling about it !!
That night I had strong vibrations in my chest !!! My heart was bigger !!! And I think about that emotion very often !!!
!I really felt to be one with the universe !! Thank you. ”

“Suffered from headaches daily, this has been going on for a long time. Post gong he was headache-free and is still so after 5 days.”

“The meditation you did had a great effects, my moon cycle has arrived 4 days earlier as a result (which never happened) as part of the detox and clearing. I must say is AMAZING! ”

“My first gong bath with Martha was an incredible and amazing experience. I felt as if all negativity and blockages were shaken off at once. Then when everything returned to silence towards the end of the session, it was simply beautiful. Thank you.”

“Ciao! It was a very powerful first impression, giving a sense of peace that lasted for the rest of the day, thank you! I slept so well last night.... I also feel more aware and stronger, bigger in a way. My skin is most certainly glowing today. So bright... ”

“Everything was at peace. There was nothing else on my mind, other than the sound of the Gongs vibrating in the room. All my work-related stress or problems went away, I only concentrated on the Gongs. It was a really calming experience, balancing all my physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies together. It was like a therapy session for all my stress and a really good way to start our break. ”

“The experience I had was almost ethereal. Lying there, I can’t say I fell asleep, but I felt like I was in some kind of trance, half wake and half asleep. I didn’t really think about anything, but it wasn’t like my mind was completely zoned out, either. It was weird because I was kind of aware of my present, but at the same time I was in another realm, separated. At first the gongs were distinctly sound, but it felt like as time went on the sounds kind of merged with the overall environment and I could actually start to feel the vibrations clearly underneath me. It was really weird but surprisingly relaxing. Then, all of a sudden, I remembered that I had go, and it seemed to instantly pull me out of the state I was in, back into the real world. It felt surprisingly harsh, and I was kind of in a daze for a little bit until I realized that only 15 minutes had passed. It felt so much longer but the effects it had on me were mesmerizing, and I felt a lot more refreshed than I had felt in a long time. Overall it was a strange experience –– I think ethereal would be the best way to describe it –– but if I had the option to, I would definitely do it again.”

“The visit for the Gong Bath was absolutely amazing. I loved every second of it, from the moment she told us to close our eyes, to the very end when I learned some very interesting things about gong baths. The gong bath itself was truly a unique experience. It was incredibly relaxing and the sounds created from the gongs made me feel connected in a inexplainable way. After the twenty minute session, I felt revived and refreshed, cleansed and stress stripped away. ”
