Location: KidStage

This summer, Boston Children’s Museum’s Sound Bath Series features Lawanda Turner—sound healing practitioner, educator, and founder of Pharaoh Essentials Wellness—as she invites visitors into Kidstage for a soothing experience that blends crystal singing bowls, chimes, and light percussion.

Lawanda offers families a chance to pause, breathe, and reconnect. With a background in community-based work with children and families, she brings a playful, grounding approach to sound healing—designed to support emotional balance, spark curiosity, and nurture a sense of calm and connection.

Music is part of the cycle of natural life. Indigenous practitioners of sound healing recognized the therapeutic value of music and understood that sound frequencies can impact our body, mind, and spirit. Today, research studies confirm that music can lower blood pressure, decrease pulse rate, and assist the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and other metabolic processes. Boston Children’s Museum’s Sound Bath Series is intended to be a sensory reset for children and families—an oasis from the stressors of daily life. It is a drop-in/drop-out, deeply immersive, full-body listening experience, where visitors are “bathed” in the soundwaves of musical instruments.
