WHAT IS AN IMMERSIVE SOUND EXPERIENCE?
The easiest way to reset the nervous system — no apps, no effort, just results.
Immersive sound experiences (often called ‘sound baths’) use research-backed vibration and frequency to calm the nervous system - helping you shift out of stress and into a state of rest and recovery.
It’s a low-effort, high-impact experience that supports better sleep, sharper focus, and long-term mental resilience. No mindfulness training required, no special equipment, just real results that you’ll feel immediately.
Whether you're building a culture of well-being or offering a reset during high-stress seasons, this is an accessible solution that makes people feel seen and better.
Reset your nervous system and truly rest.
In today’s fast-paced, technology-centric world, it’s easy to miss the kind of rest our bodies and minds truly need - rest that’s deeply healing, restorative, and actually helps us reset. Instead, we stay stuck in survival mode - overwhelmed, overstimulated, and running on fumes. This chronic stress disrupts sleep, clouds focus, and keeps your nervous system on high alert.
But here's the good news: this cycle can be interrupted - and it starts with supporting your nervous system in shifting into a relaxed, restorative state.
Think about how you feel after a night of truly deep sleep: clearer, calmer, more energized. That’s your nervous system doing what it’s meant to do: moving you out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and repair.” Sound-based meditation experiences help you access that same deep state of rest, even while awake.
Science-backed practices like sound meditation have been shown to support the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve how we feel, think, and perform.
This isn’t about effort. It’s about allowing your body to shift. Immersive sound experiences guide you there naturally - no experience or effort required. All you have to do is show up - your nervous system will handle the rest (literally).

CLIENTS AND PARTNERS OF IMMERSIVE SOUND EXPERIENCES
Hi, I'm Sarah Gardner
Founder, Teacher, Big Fan of Deep Breaths
I’m the founder, teacher, and facilitator behind Immersive Sound Experiences - but before that, I was someone who spent almost a decade working in the fast-paced, high-pressure world of tech, and even before that, I was a Division I volleyball player. I know what it’s like to carry a quota, a team and stress like a second skin, and to have a brain that just refuses to shut off at the end of the day.
Everything shifted for me in 2017, when I attended my first sound bath. It was a total revelation - a full-body exhale I didn’t even know I needed. And since 2020, I’ve made it my mission to bring this passive and restorative practice into the kinds of spaces I used to live in: offices, gyms, locker rooms, and classrooms. Spaces where slowing down isn’t part of the culture…yet.
I've been doing this work full-time for nearly five years now. Thanks to my past lives in athletics and corporate life, I’m particularly good at making sound meditation feel approachable - especially for people who’ve never meditated before and aren’t sure they ever could. I have a unique ability to connect with high performers, overthinkers, and anyone who’s running on empty.
Today, I work in seven Indiana school districts, three colleges and universities, and well-known Indy companies like Delta Faucet Company and Eli Lilly. I also host The Sunday Reset, a weekly public class that is hands-down my favorite hour of the week.
What makes my approach different? I focus on the real, physiological effects sound has on the nervous system. While I have deep respect for the more mystical side of mindfulness, the way I guide this work is grounded, accessible, and rooted in nervous system science. This isn’t about checking out - it’s about checking in, downshifting your stress response, and cultivating real mental resilience. I genuinely love sharing this work with people who may be new to it - and watching them find something they didn’t know they needed.
Want to learn more or experience it for yourself? Shoot me a message, I'd love to connect with you!
Better sleep and a more resilient mind, made simple.

Every morning I check my sleep results on my Fitbit. Most mornings it reads ‘fair', but the morning after my sound bath? ‘Excellent'! Fitbit even knows the glory of this practice.

The science behind sound baths is very convincing and my own personal experience has been consistent. Each time I reach a level of peace and relaxation that I'm unable to attain at any other point during my week.

I usually wake up 2-3 times a night, but after a sound bath I always sleep through the night! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Sarah has facilitated a sound bath for my family, and I participate in as many of the “Sunday Resets” as I can. This experience is key to my personal stress management.
