Charlotte Eddington

Sound Therapist

Charlotte’s musical journey began at an early age, exploring and playing multiple instruments. This passion led her to the wonderful path of Sound Therapy, which began here at the Jamyang Buddhist Centre - a beautiful whole circle!

As a Sound Therapist, Charlotte holds space with care and intention, ensuring every session feels welcoming and deeply connected. Her love for nature naturally infuses her work, creating experiences that are grounding, restorative, and deeply relaxing. The energy, frequencies and vibrations of the earth come alive through the enchanting rumbles of the gong. Charlotte is honoured to support others’ wellbeing and share the transformative power of sound.

Charlotte holds sound baths in our hall every third Friday monthly at 7pm.
