Sound Bath Liability Waiver & Release
Acknowledgement of Sound Bath Experience
I understand that a sound bath is a relaxation experience using instruments such as crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes. The intention is to create a calming environment through sound and vibration. I acknowledge that:
Sound baths are not a substitute for medical treatment or professional health care.
Results vary for each individual, and there are no guaranteed outcomes.
My participation is entirely voluntary, and I may choose to stop at any time.
Possible Risks & Contraindications
Sound baths are generally safe for most people, but there are some circumstances where they may not be appropriate. I confirm that I will inform the facilitator if any of the following apply to me:
Pregnancy: Especially during the first trimester — participation should only be with prior approval from a healthcare provider.
Epilepsy or Seizure Disorders: Vibrations and sound may trigger symptoms.
Serious Mental Health Conditions: Such as untreated PTSD, schizophrenia, or other conditions where sound/vibration may worsen symptoms.
Pacemakers or Metal Implants: Strong vibrations may interfere with devices or cause discomfort.
Recent Surgery or Severe Illness: Participation may not be advisable until fully recovered.
Hearing Sensitivities: Individuals with hearing aids, tinnitus, Ménière’s disease, or extreme sensitivity to sound should exercise caution.
By signing below, I confirm that I do not have any of these contraindications, or if I do, I have consulted with a medical professional and received clearance to attend.
Release of Liability
I voluntarily participate in this sound bath session and assume all responsibility for any risk of injury or adverse reaction. I release and hold harmless Kimberly McNaughton (the facilitator), Alchemy of Sound, LLC, studio locations and any affiliates from any and all liability, claims, or demands arising out of or in connection with my participation. I have read and understood this waiver, and I voluntarily agree to the terms as confirmed through my online Calendly Registration.
