In Sound Therapy, a vibrating fork is activated, vibrates and is then applied to the body at certain acupuncture points. The body then begins to vibrate or resonate with the tone as the sound is taken in, creating harmony and healing at a cellular level. Various tuning forks with different frequencies are used during the treatment process.

The Acutonics Tuning Fork System integrates Eastern and Western science, medicine, mysticism, and music, connecting acupuncture, acupressure, and trigger points with the Music of the Spheres.

Using her knowledge of Eastern medicine and her experience as an acupuncturist, Lesley combines her many healing modalities to create harmony in body, mind and spirit.
