Sound Healing Comes to Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, a Therapy Based on Healing Sounds That Helps to Reduce Stress

Since it opened, the Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has become the quintessential temple to wellness in the city and a perfect place to relax and unwind. This unique experience offers an oasis of peace and wellbeing to anyone seeking balance in mind and body.

Having already consolidated itself as the largest urban wellness centre anywhere in Spain (more than 1,400 square metres, or 15,000 square feet, spread over four floors), it launched a special partner therapists program a few months ago, for which leading figures in the field of health and beauty offer unique treatments to Hotel guests and local residents for a limited time only.

A new specialist is joining the program: Clara Gongsounds, a sound healing therapist, a practice that provides an immersive sound experience. A session of this therapy restores harmony to the body and every cell is enveloped by the vibrations emanating from the instruments. This type of therapy facilitates effortless passive meditation in which the sound brings complete balance to body and mind, reducing stress and anxiety levels, fostering cellular regeneration and enabling a state of deep relaxation.

“A therapy session with Tibetan bowls is the equivalent of eight hours of deep sleep, and is an all-encompassing pleasant experience,” says the expert therapist Clara Gongsounds.

Its benefits also include improvements to memory and a reduced risk of cardiac disease or stroke.

• Session length and price: EUR 250 for 60 minutes
• Availability: October 25 and 26, 2023

“We strive to offer inclusive services and we have tried to offer a form of meditation and relaxation that stands apart from the more well-known methods, such as yoga or meditation. By welcoming Clara into our partner therapists program, we are recognising this discipline. I loved the feeling I had during the trial session. I think it is a rather unknown technique that has much to offer and I want to help raise its profile. This ancient technique uses sounds and vibration not only to relax the body but also to release our mind,” adds Virginia Cogliati, Spa and Wellness Director at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid.

The Hotel has also confirmed new dates for its other partner therapists in 2023: Claudio J de Menezes, expert in reflexology (October 17 and 18) and Josep Lupión, master of Kobido (October 18).

About Clara Gongsounds

Clara Gongsounds (Clara Alfaro Brujó, Madrid, 1975) is a sound therapist as well as a psychologist, entrepreneur and yogini. She finds her life path through experience itself, while her restless and awake mind leads her to explore beyond the conventional.

She has been trained in sound healing under the great masters Jacomina Kistemaker, Abby Delsol and Tom Soltron (musician and creator of the Gongs Tone of Life), as well as Vikrampal Singh and Don Conreaux (a direct disciple of Yogi Bhajan).

She is also a qualified therapist of LNT (La Nueva Terapia), a technique through which balance is achieved in the energetic body and numerous benefits are obtained at both physical and emotional levels.

She believes the practice of Hatha Raja is essential. She recently obtained her instructor certificate in Prana Nidra (only 80 people are trained in this age-old technique) and she holds a YTT qualification (200 hours) from master Andrei Ram, based on the traditional teaching of yoga.

His professional career in the field of health is broadly international. He has worked in Latvia, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, and Sweden, among other places, due to his personal desire to travel and his recognised international standing. He has consistently worked at some of the best spas in Europe and as the official massage theapist for the O Corpo Brazilian Ballet Company. He is also considered by The Telegraph as one of the top ten therapists in the world.

About Josep Lupión
