Generally, sound healing in a group context is very safe, as instruments are usually played off the body. The main exceptions are for people with sound-induced epilepsy (which is very rare) and for people experiencing some mental health issues.
Several other precautions are listed below. Please indicate if any of these apply to you so we can advise if the sound healing experience is suitable or can be modified.
Mental health - History of severe depression, psychosis and other serious mental health challenges.
Neurological - shunt, deep brain stimulations or any other implanted electrical device.
Heart conditions - artificial heart valves or cardiac arrhythmia, pacemaker, stent, carotid atherosclerosis.
Deep vein thrombosis in the leg or known thrombi metallic implant.
Recent surgery (sutures still present, wound still healing)
Acute inflammation
Tumours undergoing cancer treatment.
During pregnancy's first trimester (12 weeks), we also advise caution for working with healing sounds OFF THE BODY.
