Singing Bowls of the Rockies
A former psychotherapy professor turned downtown sound-bath priestess runs 100+ crystal and Tibetan singing bowls through your nervous system in a quiet suite off Cascade — occasionally paired with full-moon ecstatic dance nights with themes like "Mending Generational Trauma Through Sound."
The story
Before Dr. Gigi Turner was surrounding roomfuls of lying-down locals with more than a hundred vibrating bowls, she was a psychology professor and psychotherapist who grew up the eldest of 14 children on a rural farm in Brazil [1.1.6]. She knew clinical psychology inside and out, but found that traditional talk therapy left something unsaid in the physical body. In 2015, after completing a sound bath mentorship under Greg Haner of Sound Bowl Immersion, she pivoted her practice to sound therapy, founding Singing Bowls of the Rockies as a sanctuary for deep nervous-system work.
Instead of choosing a bright Cascade Avenue storefront, Turner set up shop in Suite C inside a building tucked along Sierra Madre Street—right on the western industrial fringe of downtown, near the railroad tracks and America the Beautiful Park. Inside, the studio houses an extraordinary collection of over 100 crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, alongside gongs, chimes, and handpans. Turner uses her doctoral background in psychology to structure sound journeys that range from quiet New Moon cacao ceremonies to full-moon ecstatic dance nights themed around 'Mending Generational Trauma Through Sound'.
What it's like
Don't look for a Cascade storefront. You'll pull into the free parking lot off Sierra Madre Street near the train tracks, locate Suite C inside the building, and step off the quiet industrial edge of downtown. Inside, the session is set up for lying flat, so wear loose, comfortable layers; as the frequencies hit, expect a range of physical sensations—from heavy, hypnotic relaxation to a tingling vibration across your skin. Sessions are strictly ticketed in advance ($25–$45) with no walk-ins, and dates cluster around weekends and lunar cycles. Afterwards, you're positioned right next to America the Beautiful Park for a slow walk or a quick transition over to Tejon Street for dinner.
The move: Book one of Gigi Turner's themed group sound baths — check the calendar for the ecstatic-dance + sound-bath double-header, because 90 minutes of free-form movement into a full bowl immersion is a date story you'll be telling for years.
📍 Before you go the studio sits on Sierra Madre St along the western edge of downtown, a few blocks west of Cascade near the railroad tracks and America the Beautiful Park — so don't expect a Cascade storefront. It's Suite C, a tucked-away unit inside the building, so give yourself a minute to find the right door; there's free parking on-site. This is a reservations-only spot — sessions are ticketed in advance with no walk-ins, so book before you come, and check the calendar since dates cluster around weekends and full moons. Wear loose, comfortable layers (you lie down), and pair it with a stroll through America the Beautiful Park or dinner over on Tejon Street afterward.
