Several studies have explored the effects of sound therapy, including repetitive sound vibrations, on stress and anxiety levels. A study published in the Journal of Music Therapy in 2001 found that sound-based relaxation techniques significantly reduced anxiety levels in participants.
Sound therapy may have physiological effects on the body. A study published in the journal Explore in 2016 showed that sound healing interventions, including repetitive sounds, had positive effects on heart rate variability, suggesting a potential impact on the autonomic nervous system and stress response.
Repetitive sounds, such as those produced during sound baths, have the potential to influence brainwave patterns. A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2006 found that specific rhythmic sound frequencies could entrain brainwave activity, leading to altered states of consciousness and relaxation.
"If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies." - Dr Mitchell Gaynor
Welcome to The Logos Method. Our mission is to teach you how to have a relationship with your nervous system. We utilize the power of sound, reiki and breath to help you discover profound inner peace. We give you tools to self regulate. From this state of being, the possibilities are endless.
somatic sound healing
Our Sound Bath is designed to be a somatic experience. Our sessions are not focused on being musical, they are designed to help you experience deep meditation and recalibrate your nervous system. For those who have a hard time quieting the mind, this is the perfect modality to help you discover a peaceful mind. Using sound to reach a mediative state is like taking the elevator vs the stairs. For those who already meditate, The Logos Method can take you to deeper states of consciousness.
We invite you to indulge in the profound benefits of our Logos Sound Therapy, where you can recalibrate your nervous system, enhance your presence, sharpen your intuition, and unlock the gateway to boundless creative expression. Experience the transformative journey that awaits as you immerse yourself in the therapeutic soundscape and discover the profound shifts that ripple through your entire being.
breathwork
Many individuals often overlook the significance of our breath, taking it for granted despite its vital role in sustaining life. At The Logos Method, we prioritize breath awareness as an essential practice. Drawing from the wisdom of the Butyeko Method and other lineages, our primary objective is to empower you to incorporate breath as a medicinal tool in your daily life. By cultivating breath awareness, we balance our blood chemistry (nitric oxide and carbon dioxide), directing its nourishing flow to our vital organs—akin to fueling your engine with premium gas. This simple yet powerful practice of breath awareness offers numerous benefits, including anxiety reduction, minimize inflammation, enhanced focus, and an amplified sense of presence in each passing moment.
reiki and sound
When I do a Sound Bath I work with energy as well. The combination of Reiki and Sound Baths creates a powerful synergy that enhances the healing experience on multiple levels. Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique, works with the body's subtle energy to restore balance and promote wellness. Sound Baths, on the other hand, utilize the therapeutic vibrations of sound to induce deep relaxation. Together, Reiki and Sound Baths amplify the healing potential, with sound facilitating the release of energetic blockages and Reiki channeling vital life force energy to support the body's natural healing processes. This combination offers a holistic and profound healing experience, promoting physical, emotional, and energetic well-being.
what people are saying about logos
“When I arrived in the US, I was in a dark place. I had faced a lot of traumatic experiences in my home country. Fear consumed me; I was scared of phone calls, haunted by nightmares, and ridden with depression and anxiety. I’m so glad I found The Logos Method, after a several weekly sessions , I felt a transformation. I found myself dancing in the kitchen while cooking and humming along to music while walking to school. Sound bathing released my anxiety, stress, and even helped me cope with my grief. Mental health is vital to all of us, and I believe that sound bathing should be a part of medical school teachings and practiced every day.”
“Having worked with Cheryl for over two decades, there is no doubt she is a talented healer. Her Sound Baths are a beautiful and rare blend of therapy and spiritual experience. Sounds Baths are Cheryl’s ministry and the gift of healing she offers needs to be shared.”
““I’ve had two sessions with Cheryl - one with sound and group breathwork, and the other a private sound bath. I’m not overstating by saying that both were transformative. I’ve been a musician all my life, and have been so fortunate to experience the transcendent power of music fairly often. But Cheryl’s work is a whole new beast at a high level that provided me with healing and a deep meditative journey. Everyone should aim to make these sessions a regular practice. If I still lived in Bay Area, I would come more often.””
“I have never been happier to learn of a new method of not only self-care but soul-care. As a Pastor, I normally get a massage monthly to manage my stress level but have decided to switch to bimonthly sound baths. Chuck’s sound bath is like a deep tissue massage but from the inside out! The effects last much longer and my entire nervous system is recalibrated. Try it, I’m confident you’ll love it and make it part of your personal care regimen as well.”
“I’ve been attending repetitive sound baths for some time now, and I can’t emphasize enough the positive impact they have had on my well-being. The consistent vibrations and harmonies create a space where I can release energy blocks, find emotional healing, and tap into my creativity.”
“I had the best night sleep after my session. My back pain is gone and i feel like i’m floating thru my day. I can’t wait to go back.”
“A sound bath is sublime. It requires zero effort to get maximum benefit. Just lie down or sit and let the sound flow in and around you. My body relaxed and my thoughts quieted within the first 5 minutes, and by the end, I felt a deep peace. It filled my inner reservoir and I was able to draw on this peace for days after.”
“Chuck has a natural talent for creating a deeply relaxing and healing space using sound. She is tremendously intuitive and I left her session feeling fully rested and at ease. It is as if I took a mini vacation, the benefits of which have endured long after the session.”
“I have come in and out of conscious relationship with my breath throughout my life, often forgetting how powerful it can be as a healing tool. During my Logos session with Cheryl, all of that innate knowledge resurfaced as I worked to bring healing throughout my body with my breath. I felt lighter and so much more grounded after the work.
Cheryl’s use of sound and the crystal bowls really helped hit the “sweet spot” for me on a cellular level. Thank you for reminding me that the power to heal my mind and body are within the simple movement of focusing on my breath.”
“Sound therapy opens the door to internal reawakening and supported my process of letting go. Allowing me to take a break from: Idle thoughts, worries, endless to do lists, planning, and responsibilities. And enjoy the moment!”

prenatal and postnatal sound therapy
“Pregnant women participated in a 12-week Sound Bath program reported significant reductions in stress and anxiety, as well as improved sleep quality. Additionally, the women reported feeling more relaxed and connected to their babies after participating in the program.”
Prenatal sound baths have gained popularity as a soothing and therapeutic practice for expectant mothers. A prenatal sound bath is a form of sound therapy where gentle and harmonic sounds are used to create a calming and nurturing environment for both the mother and the unborn baby.
For the expectant mother, prenatal sound baths can help alleviate anxiety, promote better sleep, and provide a sense of emotional balance. The calming sounds can help reduce the levels of stress hormones in the body, allowing the mother to unwind and connect with her baby on a deeper level. It can also serve as a meditative practice, allowing mothers to leave mind chatter behind and be fully present in the moment, fostering a sense of mindfulness and relaxation.
Additionally, the vibrations created during a prenatal sound bath can have a soothing effect on the baby in the womb. Research suggests that babies can hear and respond to external sounds as early as the second trimester. The gentle sounds and vibrations can stimulate the baby's developing auditory system, creating a soothing and comforting environment. This can potentially enhance the baby's overall well-being, encourage healthy growth, and strengthen the bond between mother and child.
Expectant mothers are encouraged to find a comfortable position, and to simply allow the sounds to wash over them and their baby.
It is important to note that prenatal sound baths are generally considered safe for most pregnant women. However, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before participating in any new wellness practice during pregnancy. With proper guidance and supervision, prenatal sound baths can provide a deeply calming and nurturing experience, promoting a positive and peaceful prenatal journey for both mother and baby.
“Sound Baths can help to reduce pain during labor. The study found that women who listened to sound baths during labor had lower pain scores and shorter labors than women who did not listen to sound baths.”
“Cheryl is fantastic! Our meeting was truly meaningful to me as I was 37 wks pregnant and told I needed to be induced. Cheryl has such a peaceful energy. She was kind enough to fit in a session with me and my unborn son a few days before he was born! She was able to guide me with my thoughts and her powerful use of a sound therapy! Then I was so appreciative that my son and I were able to do a skin to skin sound bath one week after he was born. It was such a powerful experience to have the opportunity to do with my newborn child! I could feel his energy changing during the session through his breathing! If you have the opportunity to experience a sound bath with Cheryl jump all over it! I can’t wait to continue my journey with her and my son!”
“My experience of the sound therapy Cheryl provided me was one of deep relaxation and an altered state of consciousness that allowed me to feel that my being was safe and comfortable and could go completely quiet, while simultaneously being immersed in an environment that felt rich and fluid. As a mother, grandmother and doula, I imagine such an opportunity could be a wonderful way for parent and child to co-experience something interesting and nourishing. Cheryl’s studio is peaceful, warm and bright. She is a wonderful and skillful presence and the sound bath she produces is like no other aural experience I’ve had. ”

about
My name is Cheryl, though many also know me as Chuck. I founded The Logos Method in 2018, though my journey as a teacher and healer truly began back in the early1990s. For much of my adult life, I was immersed in the world of video production while simultaneously walking my own path of healing and self-discovery. I always felt a deep calling to dedicate myself fully to healing work, but I struggled to leave behind a successful and established career. Eventually, the pull to step into my purpose became impossible to ignore, and The Logos Method was born.
I have been fortunate to have incredible personal growth and inspiring spiritual teachers who have guided me toward a deeper understanding of myself. Their wisdom has profoundly shaped who I am today and the work I do. I carry these teachings with me, along with the many classes, workshops, certificates and experiences I’ve had, to help others develop a meaningful relationship with their nervous systems. As the world around us continues to move at an overwhelming pace, it’s more important than ever to understand how we respond to it. The Logos Method is not just about sound, breath, and Reiki—it’s an invitation into self-exploration and personal discovery.
As a healer, I create intentional space in my groups or individual sessions. I see myself as the conduit for you to connect to the silence inside that informs the decisions you make in life. I am honored to have the opportunity to support you on your path. No matter where you are, The Logos Method can touch your soul.
Before Covid, I lead individual and groups using breathwork and sound baths in The Bay Area and Los Angeles. In addition I have lead rituals large and small, including baby showers, birthing rituals, end of life, birthday parties, or whatever occasion you feel breath and or sound fit. I am currently offering private breath sessions in your home and hosting monthly Sound Baths in the Bay Area. I am actively seeking partnerships and would love to hear from you if you would like to create something with me.
The Logos Method has something to offer everyone, no matter who you are or what you believe, I recommend you try this out and let the experience speaks for itself.
