Episode 141: How Sound Therapy Can Help Create Calm, Happiness, and Health in a Busy World Guest: Caira Lavelle Clack, Sound Therapist & Former Occupational Therapist
In a world that’s constantly “on,” finding peace can feel out of reach. In this episode, Matt speaks with sound therapist Caira Lavelle Clack, whose journey from occupational therapy to sound healing is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep commitment to wellbeing.
With over 16 years as an OT — working with elderly patients, children, and those with disabilities — Caira brings a unique depth to her sound therapy practice. Her first encounter with a gong bath changed everything. One session a month turned into a life path, and eventually, a full-time mission to help others through sound.
In this conversation, they explore:
- How Caira transitioned from occupational therapy to full-time sound healing
- What actually happens in the brain and body during a sound bath
- Why sound can trigger physical, emotional, and even spiritual transformation
- How sound affects us on a cellular level — and what that means for healing
- The different sound therapy modalities, including Caira’s powerful one-to-one sessions
Whether you're a wellness professional, a stressed-out leader, or someone simply curious about alternative approaches to health, this episode offers a grounded look at how sound can calm the nervous system and open new doors to personal transformation.
