Sound Healing, Elevated: A Transformative Afternoon at Kasa Yoga Studios
By Samantha Bessudo Drucker | April 14, 2026 | Wellness & Movement
There’s something deeply comforting about the way a cat purrs. Not just for itself, but for everyone around it. The rhythmic vibrations have been shown to be associated with healing and calm. Now imagine that same principle, elevated and intentional, guiding an entire room into restoration.
I have long known about the power of sound baths through my cousin, Ann Bessudo, the founder of TUNE Bienestar. Feeling slightly out of alignment, I recently attended a one-on-one session with David Kennet. This reset was the perfect way to ground myself amid the chaos of
David, who travels internationally hosting his sound bath experiences, currently lives in Miami, near my residence. When Ann came to visit me from Bogotá, Colombia, we saw a perfect opportunity to combine these two incredible forces in a sound bath collaboration at Kasa Yoga Studios.
And let me tell you… It was next-level.
The Healing Power of Sound
Sound baths are rooted in the idea that vibration is medicine. Much like that purring cat, the frequencies created during a session are designed to bring the body back into harmony, calm the nervous system, and release emotional blockages affecting your chakras.
I’ve heard — and witnessed — stories that are nothing short of extraordinary. From chronic pain relief to shifts in mental and physical wellness, the impact can be profound. One story I’ve heard involved a client, an oncologist and ironically a cancer patient, who had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain mass. After turning to sound baths as a last resort, the mass reportedly disappeared over time.
Regardless of your approach, scientific or spiritual, there’s no denying the power of these frequencies. Think of the way your favorite song soothes you, or the sound of waves crashing calms the mind – it is indisputable.
A Journey Through Sound and Intention
The experience, held on April 4 at Kasa Yoga Studios, was immersive from the very beginning. The space itself is beautiful, calming, intentional, and welcoming, immediately putting you at ease. We were greeted with a house-made herbal tea blend (divine) and explored a variety of natural self-care products, which reflected the studio’s commitment to holistic wellness.
We began with intention-setting: writing down what we wanted to release or call in. Then, lying on plush mattresses with blankets and feet gently elevated, we were guided inward.
Anne led with her signature gongs and Tibetan bowls, creating deep, resonant waves that seemed to move through the body. Alongside her, David layered in a rich array of tribal instruments and vocal tones, building a soundscape that felt both grounding and expansive.
Together, they didn’t just play music—they orchestrated an experience. A video of the first hour can be found on YouTube.
A Personal Awakening
I went completely under – in the best way. At one point, I drifted into a state that felt like the most restorative sleep I’ve had in a while. But toward the end, something shifted. I came back feeling recharged, clear, and incredibly present.
During the session, I had a vivid internal experience in which I could see my chakras lighting up, each corresponding to a physical sensation in my body. It felt like everything was aligning in real time, like a reset button for the soul.
Afterward, there was a sense of ease and flow that stayed with me. A kind of quiet confidence, where things felt possible and manageable again. If you know my work, then you already know where I’m going with this…
If something feels stuck, whether in your health, your mindset, or yes, even your love life, perhaps it’s not about pushing harder. Perhaps it’s about tuning differently, vibrating at a frequency that will attract the life you want. More on that in my book!
