Noémi Kiss
Biofield Tuning
Noémi offers Biofield Tuning, a therapeutic sound balancing modality that works with the body’s electrical system, that is connected to our conscious and subconscious mind, including our memories. We use tuning forks on and around the body to locate and shift stuck energy, helping your body to restore balance and harmony and change the way you respond to stress. When coherent sound is reflected to your body’s electromagnetic field, your body’s organizing intelligence directs sound exactly where it’s needed, dissonance resolves, resistance gives way, and your body knows how to come back to vitality and wholeness.
Born and raised in Hungary, Noémi is a professional singer, voice teacher and choir conductor. After more than 20 years of working with students through music and sound she turned her focus towards sound healing. She offers sound baths with Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, supports people in palliative and end of life care, and those who’re going through grief and loss. She lives in Argenta with her partner, loves to go on horseback rides with her dog, and has a small blueberry farm.
