Practitioner Consultation


Instrument and Mallet Selection - Virtual Consultation

Need help purchasing bowls, gongs, or mallets like Dragonfly Percussion’s Benjamin Irons Signature Series wands and inviters? Every instrument is unique and it’s easy to become overwhelmed during the selection process. I’m happy to take a listen and give you feedback, saving you time and money when building your dream set!

I will contact you directly via email to book your first appointment. Payment is required to reserve your slot. My standard rate is $150/hr ($75 for half-hour).

Sound Healing Private Lessons

Are you making the same mishaps that I see in 99% of sound practitioners??

Take your sound healing to the next level with private instruction from a professional percussionist, certified sound therapist, hypnotherapist, and advanced meditation teacher. Singing bowls, gongs, drums, bells, chimes, and cymbals are all in my wheelhouse. Most non-musician consultations focus on grip, playing zones, set-up, stroke mechanics, sound concepts, rhythm, harmony, overall musical phrasing, and mindfulness integration.

Rate: $150/hr

Common coaching topics:

  • Instrument and mallet selection

  • Singing bowl “family” pairings

  • Percussion technical coaching

  • Music theory and terminology for non-musicians

  • Sound bath meditation formatting

  • Meditation script assistance

  • Meditation fundamentals

I highly recommend Ben! I scheduled a consultation with him and as soon as I walked through the door he immediately made me feel so comfortable and welcomed with his positive uplifting energy and gentle nature. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and explained sound healing in a way that I could understand/relate to. He is very passionate and in harmony with the work that he does and he really genuinely carries that mindset and energy into his teaching and practice. It’s very inspiring and ultimately helped me greatly improve and strengthen my own practice. I definitely will continue to work with him and highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn sound healing or anyone interested in a session.
