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 sharper focus, enhanced communication, better sleep, 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 a high-stress season, this is an accessible solution that makes people feel and perform 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 a vicious cycle of overstimulation and overwhelm. This chronic stress disrupts sleep, clouds focus, impairs digestion and keeps our 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 experiences help you access that same deep state of rest, even while awake.
One peer-reviewed study published by the NIH found that just one session of sound meditation significantly reduced tension, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in adults - most of whom had never tried any type of meditation before. This makes sound meditation a powerful, accessible tool to support mental well-being and performance, even for first-timers.

CLIENTS AND PARTNERS OF IMMERSIVE SOUND EXPERIENCES
Hi! I'm Sarah Gardner.
Founder, Teacher, and Big Fan of Deep Breaths
I’m the founder and lead 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 - I couldn’t believe I could feel so good…by doing nothing. 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, and classrooms. Spaces where slowing down isn’t part of the culture…yet.
I've been doing this work full-time for five years now. Thanks to my past lives in athletics and Corporate America, I’m particularly good at making meditation feel approachable for people who’ve never meditated before (and aren’t sure they ever could) and I have a unique ability to relax even the highest performers, over-thinkers, and over-achievers.
Today, I’m proud to say I’m doing work in ten Indiana school districts, three colleges and universities, well-known Indy companies like The Heritage Group, and global brands 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. And 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.
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.
