Sound Healing with Eliza<br />
Eliza is a Defence spouse who recently relocated to Darwin with her two little<br />
girls.<br />
“After having each of my children, I found myself searching for ways to manage stress and<br />
overall wellness in a way that aligned with nature. After gaining these different skills for my<br />
own toolkit, I had a desire to share this with others who were like me and nurture our<br />
community.”<br />
Some of the holistic healing therapy practices Eliza offers are Sound Healing, Reiki,<br />
Meditation, Crystal Healing, Essential Oil creations, Empowerment and Wellness Coaching.<br />
Eliza loves to host Women’s circles and Self-care workshops and is very passionate about<br />
helping women (especially Mum’s) to be the best version of themselves.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dried Petal Company by Sam<br />
My new small business started out as an idea of a hobby and ‘side hustle’. I needed something<br />
for myself to do that didn’t involve only being a mum or my day-to-day job - I wanted to do<br />
something in my downtime that I enjoyed!<br />
I have always loved flowers and I purchased myself a dried arrangement for my birthday in 2021. From here<br />
my love for dried arrangements grew! I love that when you buy a dried arrangement, they last years and not<br />
just a few days like fresh flowers, especially in Darwin!<br />
<strong>The</strong> highlight of my new venture so far was being asked<br />
to make arrangements for a wedding! It’s been a really<br />
fun process and I feel so grateful to have been asked!<br />

What is Sound <strong>The</strong>rapy?<br />
Sound therapy covers a broad range of therapies that utilise sound to address different<br />
kinds of physical and mental conditions. It's rooted in the belief that everything in the<br />
universe - living or inanimate - is made up of energy and maintains a vibrational frequency.<br />
Maintaining the ideal level of frequency is vital to a person's health and wellness; otherwise,<br />
an imbalance could lead to a physical, emotional or psychological disorder.<br />
French ear, nose and throat specialist, Dr Tomatis, discovered sound therapy in the late<br />
1940s after restoring the hearing of opera singers and factory workers by playing to them<br />
the sounds they could no longer hear. He found a link between the ear and the voice and<br />
figured that if he could improve the way a person listens, he could improve their learning,<br />
balance, coordination, posture, communication, and creativity.<br />
What are the Different Kinds of Sound <strong>The</strong>rapy?<br />
Several types of sound therapy have been developed ever since its inception to address all<br />
sorts of physical, emotional and cognitive conditions. Some examples of these include:<br />
• Music therapy is one approach to sound healing that supports physical rehabilitation<br />
and self-expression.<br />
• Auditory retraining therapy is another form of sound therapy that helps address<br />
learning difficulties, especially in children.<br />
• Vibrational therapy involves placing an instrument on a specific point on the body<br />
which corresponds to an organ or tissue that requires healing.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> Tomatis method involves the use of specialised headphones to listen to recorded<br />
sounds that aim to increase the frequency levels in the brain and improve the way it<br />
processes sound.<br />
• Guided meditation employs chanting or the repetition of healing sounds using one's<br />
voice to reach a meditative state, and release pain and stress.<br />
A sound therapist may use one or more instruments when treating a client, depending on<br />
the latter's needs. Each instrument holds a unique sound and vibration that correspond<br />
with the body's frequency. Some of the instruments used in sound healing include:<br />
• Singing bowls<br />
• Rainstick<br />
• Tuning forks<br />
• Stress<br />
• Anxiety<br />
• Poor concentration<br />
• High blood pressure<br />
• Chimes<br />
• Pan flute<br />
• Tibetan tingsha<br />
What are the Benefits of Sound <strong>The</strong>rapy?<br />
• Sleep issues<br />
• Pain management<br />
• Cardiovascular disease<br />
• Mood disorders<br />
• Drums<br />
• Shamanic rattles<br />
Sound therapy balances energy and vibrational frequency levels to alleviate symptoms of a<br />
physical, emotional or mental condition. It's especially beneficial for the following conditions:<br />
• High cholesterol<br />
• Learning disabilities<br />
• Low self-esteem<br />
• Absent-mindedness<br />

Is Sound <strong>The</strong>rapy Safe?<br />
Sound therapy has no side effects, nor<br />
does it have any contraindications.<br />
Everybody, regardless of age, can benefit<br />
from it. To get maximum results, clients<br />
should openly discuss with the sound<br />
therapist the kinds of sounds or music<br />
that work for them.<br />

Hi, I'm Tammy, the designer and maker at Smitten by Tammy.<br />
After many years working as a Social Worker in the disability sector and a variety of<br />
middle/high schools around Australia, I decided it was time to re-engage with my<br />
creative side - something that I had lost touch with since the world of 'adulting' took<br />
over.<br />
6 years ago, I bought my first few packs of polymer clay to see if it was a creative<br />
outlet that I would enjoy - I did enjoy it and soon enough I was attending my first<br />
local market in Sale (Victoria). It went well, really well, and I eventually became a<br />
regular vendor at that market.<br />
Smitten by Tammy was born from a deep love of colour and unique design. I don't<br />
tend to follow trends, but rather I make what I love. I have had some people tell me<br />
my jewellery is 'alternative' but I only see that as a good thing - a niche if you will...<br />
My ultimate aim is to make unique, high-quality jewellery that is absolutely loved by<br />
their wearer for many years to come - you could say they are smitten.<br />
Recently my husband and I moved back to Darwin after a decade long hiatus down<br />
south, so it made sense to finally take Smitten by Tammy online.<br />
About my Jewellery<br />
Smitten by Tammy<br />
All pieces are made from ‘Premo’ professional grade polymer clay. All pieces are<br />
100% made by hand, meaning no two pieces are alike.<br />
All earring hooks and posts are hypoallergenic and are made from surgical steel. All<br />
earring posts and findings are embedded within the clay (no glue) which makes for<br />
unquestionable strength. All necklaces are hung on leather cord and are adjustable.<br />
