Sound Bath / Sound Healing
What is a sound bath or sound healing?
A sound bath or sound healing is an ancient therapeutic practice that uses various aspects of sound, such as vibrations, frequencies, and rhythms, to promote relaxation and well-being in the body, mind, and spirit.

About Kristen Wertenberger
Hey there! I’m Kristen Wertenberger, and I’ve been surrounded by music and nature my whole life. Let me take you on a little journey through my world of music and therapeutic sound.
Growing Up Musical
I come from a musical family where everyone loved to sing or play an instrument. We were a musical family that performed at churches and local events. This deep love for music led me to spend nearly a decade in the music industry, recording songs and performing on big stages in Los Angeles, California. But I felt a need to take better care of myself, both my mind and body, which led me on a new adventure.
Switching to Wellness
My wellness path began with massage therapy. I completed my massage training in Chicago and then moved to Minneapolis, where I worked in an integrative clinic, providing massage therapy for chronic pain and injuries. It was rewarding to see someone feel better because of the work we did together.
A Deep Dive into Energy and Sound
Then, I became curious about merging my musical talents with my passion for creating physical and mental well-being. I started studying energy, physics, and the science of frequencies in sound. Through the research of physicist Nassim Haramein and The Resonance Science Academy, I learned about the fundamentals of energy. Then, I continued my studies in biofield tuning and how using your voice in special ways can help the body feel good.
Math, Music, and Nature’s Patterns
I also studied Synergetics through the Buckminster Fuller Institute, where I learned about shapes and patterns in nature. This helps me use specific musical notes that match how nature works because, believe it or not, math and music are like two peas in a pod—they both follow beautiful patterns that can make us feel good inside.
Join the Sound Bath Experience!
And here’s the cool part: you can join me every Wednesday from 7 – 8 pm for a variety of curated sound bath experiences at Wellspring Health Center in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and various places around the Twin Cities. It’s a time to relax, let the music transform you, and feel good.
It’s incredible what listening to healing sounds can do for your mind and spirit.
So, from my musical family to working as a professional musician and massage therapist, and now to helping people relax and rejuvenate through sound baths, it’s been a wonderful journey. I hope you’ll come and experience the magic of a sound bath soon!
