Sound Bowl Massage | Cedar Rapids, IA

A woman is giving a sound therapy session to a man lying on a yoga mat, holding a singing bowl in her right hand and a mallet in her left hand, in a room with wooden floors, brick and white walls, and various objects like bowls, towels, and cushions in the background.
A woman with long blonde hair is holding a large mallet above another woman lying on a table. The woman on the table has red hair and is resting with eyes closed, wearing a black lace top, in a room with dark green walls.

Sound is not just something you hear.
It is something you feel.

At ROOTSPACE, sound sessions are rooted in the Peter Hess Sound Massage method, a deeply restorative approach that uses specially designed therapeutic singing bowls placed directly on and around the body.

These sessions are designed to restore balance, regulate the nervous system, and guide you into deep, embodied rest.

What Is Peter Hess® Sound Massage

Peter Hess® Sound Massage uses calibrated therapeutic bowls that are gently placed on the body and softly played.

The vibration travels through the body’s natural water content, creating a wave-like internal massage that supports release without pressure.

Unlike traditional massage, there is no force or manipulation.
The body is invited to soften through frequency, resonance, and gentle oscillation.

Your Experience

Each session may include:

  • Therapeutic singing bowls placed on and around the body

  • Subtle, rhythmic vibration through tone

  • Guided stillness and rest

  • Breath awareness

The experience is quiet, spacious, and deeply grounding.

Many clients describe it as feeling held, supported, and gently reset from the inside out.
