• Why do you use tuning forks?  

  • Because your body needs a tune up! In all seriousness, we are made of energy, and energy travels in waves. Sound travels in waves as well, and various pitches have different frequencies. The premise behind tuning forks is that all of our organs and tissues, and even the entire body, has an optimal vibrational frequencies that is "set" at birth.  This combination of frequencies is unique to each individual and as we go through life can become "out of tune" just like a musical instrument! Playing the different frequencies of the tuning forks in specific order, at set points at the body, can help reset the frequencies to where they were at birth, through the principle of resonant frequencies. 

  • Because these frequencies are unique to each individual, tuning fork therapy is not recommended for expectant mothers, organ transplant recipients or clients with pacemakers. Read more here: http://www.tuningforktherapy.com/whats_new_17.html
