DOHA: Renowned for its forward thinking approach and regular collaborations with world-class experts, the award-winning The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Doha was delighted to host an exclusive sound healing therapy workshop on 29 June 2024. Led by Qatar-based Maha Almoisaifri, the event marks the spa’s latest venture into transformative sessions that places holistic healing at the heart of the experience.
An inviting oasis of calm at the center of Qatari life, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Doha provides the ideal environment for luxurious treatments, such as sound healing therapy. Under Maha’s guidance, a handful of guests were encouraged to feel at ease in the intimate space, where dimmed lights, warm hues and soft music were complemented by the spa’s signature lavender fragrance. After serving a refreshing welcome drink of infused berries, Maha commenced the 90-minute ladies-only session with a series of breathing exercises, designed to release stress and clear the mind, before moving onto the sound healing techniques.
Highly effective at improving multi-dimensional wellbeing, sound healing is celebrated as a powerful ancient ritual that delivers an array of vibrational tones derived from instruments, such as singing bowls, tingsha cymbals, and bells. A valuable accompaniment to traditional meditation, the treatment offers a dynamic sensory experience that has both an activating and relaxing effect on body and mind. The event’s participants enthused about the session’s deeply restorative effects, with guests feeling like they had entered a dream-like state where the ultimate sensation of balance was achieved.
When asked about this exclusive session, Maha explained, “My journey to becoming a sound healing therapist started after I experienced, first-hand, the powerful effects of sound on my own well-being. Inspired by the ritual’s rich history, I discovered how science and art combine in using sound as a tool for holistic wellness. I’m delighted to have shared my knowledge with this group of ladies and look forward to future collaborations with The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Doha.”
