Trillium Yoga Room 4:00 pm: Therapeutic Cello Sound Healing4:00 pm: Therapeutic Cello Sound Healing – Cello sound healing is a therapeutic immersion, akin to a sound bath, where the cello’s voice-like frequencies resonate deeply with the listener, promoting a sense of connection. Each session begins with a grounding mindfulness meditation, guiding participants through mindful breathing and a golden light visualization. Using octaves, trills, and pentatonic scales, Alisa crafts a soothing soundscape that incorporates harmonics, sustained drones, and the gentle resolution of dissonance. These techniques, combined with the cello’s rich, familiar tones, help release emotional tension and induce a meditative state, encouraging balance, clarity, and profound relaxation.
In February, Therapeutic Cello Sound Healing will be offered monthly, on the first Sunday.
To register for Therapeutic Cell Sound Healing, contact Alisa: dralisawoods@gmail.com Alisa Woods, Ph.D., LMHC, owns a mental health counseling practice in Potsdam and was recently awarded a grant from the Maxine M. Quigg Women in Business Fund of the Northern New York Community Foundation. This grant supported her training in sound therapy with renowned cellist Elizabeth Byrd. Alisa has a Ph.D. in behavioral neuroscience and a master’s in mental health counseling. She began playing cello at age seven, studies with Christian Hosmer, and performs with several orchestras, including the Northern Lights and the St. Lawrence University String Orchestras. She also leads Melodic Minds, a NYSCA-funded program celebrating neurodiversity through music. Alisa’s family—her two children, Celeste and Constantine, and husband, Costel, share her passion for music.
