Do you trust alternative therapies like sound baths to effectively help manage your personal stress levels?

Since opening in 2021, Serenity Sounds has brought acoustic wellness sessions to various locations throughout Jacksonville. The practice provides community and private sound baths, alongside workplace programs and individual therapy, to help participants manage daily stress.

Why it matters

Founder Adriana Dobbs established these services to offer natural alternatives for anxiety management. The growing number of local partnerships allows residents greater access to these acoustic wellness practices.

Official attendance records from the Baptist Wellness Center in Nocatee show 316 participants across 31 sound bath sessions since 2023. These figures represent participation in a non-clinical wellness setting, as the health outcomes of such sessions remain unstudied.
