Episode 1119 with Guest DR. Gigi Turner
Dr. Gigi Turner, PsyD, formerly a psychology professor and psychotherapist, is now a distinguished sound bath practitioner who skillfully blends her extensive background in psychology with the timeless practice of sound baths. Since receiving her certification from Singing Bowls Immersion in 2015, Dr. Turner has founded Singing Bowls of the Rockies in Colorado Springs. In this sanctuary she has created an oasis of deep relaxation. Here, the interplay of frequencies, vibrations, and positive energy within a safe and nurturing space is designed to soothe, release tension, and harmonize the body, mind, and soul. This space nurtures a captivating and nearly trance-like vibrational journey, immersing participants in a profound sensory experience.
Leveraging her expertise in psychology, Dr. Turner’s sound baths feature a symphony of resonant tones from an array of instruments, including more than 100 crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, tingshas, flutes, shakers, drums, xylophone, acoustic guitar, hand pans, tuning forks, crystal quartzophone, various wooden instruments, nature sounds –the sounds of the outdoors, like running water, bird singing, ocean waves, or wind, to enhancing meditative experience.

Over the years I came to understand that a constant and driving presence had always pushed me to change, grow, learn and look at myself with more honesty. That the loving presence of animals had brought companionship to a lonely girl, pushed me to find courage and do things I could never imagine, much less accomplish. Because of the love of horses, I became a horse trainer which soon revealed a person struggling with all relationships; human, financial, physical. The love of sheepherding and a Border Collie named Luke took me down the path of self-discovery. To become the person I wanted to be for the animals, I first had to know, and accept myself. Through my journey with Luke and the horses I was drawn to study shamanism, animal communication, meta and quantum physics, and much more. After Luke earned his angel wings, I felt a calling to share the story of this magnificent dog and my life as a trainer. This plunged me into unknown and to do something I never wanted to or thought I could do, I wrote the book Away To Me, My Love: A Sheepdog’s Tale Of Two Lives. Our story has helped countless others find courage and understanding within themselves.
