Sonic Journeys
Tierra Santa Healing House hums with a frequency all its own. Here, ancient healing rituals and high-touch therapies converge with the potent power of sound.
“Sound vibrations have a transformative effect on our minds and bodies,” said Spa Director Charlotte Prescott. “Research shows that sound healing can slow down our brain waves and put our bodies in a very relaxed, dreamlike state.” It’s why many of the spa’s signature healing rituals—from bodywork to meditation—are set to carefully tuned frequencies designed to realign the body and quiet the mind. Sound therapy at Tierra Santa takes many forms. Guests might hear the deep resonance of Tibetan singing bowls during a Pranic Healing session or feel the shimmer of chimes and gongs echoing through their chakras in a Sacred Warrior massage. The Ritual Chamánico layers South American healing techniques with bespoke aromatherapy and subtle sound work.
Any spa treatment—including massages and facials—can be personalized with vibrational elements (guests can request this at time of booking). One of the spa’s newest rituals, Conversación en el Bosque (“Conversation in the Forest”), is a full-body immersion into sound and nature. The journey begins with a warm bath in sea salts infused with healing botanicals like linden, lavender and cedarwood followed by a grounding massage while listening to a biosonification symphony. The nature-inspired soundscape is created by translating the electrical impulses of trees, soil and plant life into sound and weaving it with binaural beats and therapeutic Solfeggio frequencies to generate a meditative experience of renewal and release. A bouquet of aromatherapy scents includes highly concentrated, all-natural rose geranium, lavender and Roman chamomile essential oils sourced with deep respect for the Earth. During monthly Hammam Sound Healing sessions—held on the fourth Monday of every month—guests recline on the hammam’s heated gobek tasi made of Amazonite stone while inhaling jasmine-infused steam.
As the sound therapist chants mantras and plays crystal bowls, “the resonant frequencies of the hammam amplify the energy of sound, fostering intentional healing and profound restoration.” Sound healing is also integrated into many of Tierra Santa’s daily yoga and wellness classes. “We’re creating space for guests to return to themselves,” said Prescott. “Sound helps us attune to a higher frequency of wellbeing.”
Featured Treatment - A Glacier Glow
Tierra Santa Healing House has partnered with renowned Swiss skincare brand Valmont to unveil its latest advanced facial: Vitality of the Glaciers. Designed to oxygenate the skin and dissolve visible signs of fatigue, this energizing treatment delivers a potent cellular boost that leaves skin noticeably more radiant, toned, and refreshed. “Vitality of the Glaciers is an ideal antidote to the toll that summer travel, sun exposure, and environmental pollutants can take on the skin,” said Charlotte Prescott, Spa Director at Tierra Santa. “It helps reset the complexion after seasonal stressors.”
The treatment draws on Valmont’s decades of expertise in cellular cosmetics—an anti-aging approach developed in Switzerland in 1985 that combines high-performance ingredients with cutting-edge technology. Known for its immediate, visible results, Valmont’s skincare line embodies the highest standards of Swiss quality and innovation.
At the heart of the facial is a revitalizing oxygenation process that enhances cell metabolism and boosts collagen synthesis. A sculpting facial massage helps stimulate circulation, reduce fluid retention, and contour the skin for a natural, lifted appearance. Guests can choose between a 60- or 90-minute experience, with the extended version including a rejuvenating arm treatment and prolonged massage for deeper relaxation.
