πΏ A New Location. A New Beginning. A New Chapter.
After 18 years of practicing holistic health and wellness, I am excited to share that The Wellness Room is moving to a beautiful new ground-level location at 112C 2nd Avenue North, Williams Lake, BC.
This move represents much more than a change of address.
It marks a new beginning.
A more accessible space.
A return to my birth name, Michelle Barber.
And the next evolution of The Wellness Room.
Over the coming months, you'll see exciting new experiences, expanded offerings, and a continued commitment to creating a welcoming space where people can move, rest, connect, heal, and belong.

Many of you know that Sound Therapy has been part of my work for nearly two decades.
β
Over the years, sound has been woven into my wellness practice in many different ways, but it was after completing my Sound Bath Training with international teacher "Kasaay" Waters that Sound Baths became a dedicated offering within my previous studios.
β
Over the past seven years, I have had the privilege of sharing Sound Bath experiences with thousands of people, both in person and online, through classes, special events, wellness programs, and community offerings.
Those years of listening, learning, practicing, and holding space have taught me something beautifully simple.
β
People don't come because they need more information.
People come because they need somewhere to exhale.
Somewhere to slow down.
Somewhere to feel supported.
Somewhere to rest.
Somewhere to simply be.
β
As my own understanding has deepened, my vision for Sound Bath Immersions has evolved as well.
While my earlier Sound Bath experiences explored energetic and frequency-based concepts, my work has gradually shifted toward something simpler and, for many people, more meaningful:
πΏ Deep Rest
πΏ Nervous System Support
πΏ Comfort and Relaxation
πΏ Accessibility and Inclusion
πΏ Being Held, Supported, and Nurtured
πΏ Creating Spaces Where Every Body Feels Welcome
My focus today is on creating nurturing experiences that support deep rest, comfort, accessibility, and nervous system regulation.
These experiences don't need to be explained.
They simply need to be felt.βββ

βπΏ Introducing Sound Bath Immersions
This December, I will be introducing a new style of Sound Bath Immersion at The Wellness Room.
I am expanding my collection of instruments to create richer and more immersive sound experiences, including:
ββ¨ Wind Gong
β¨ Tongue Drum
β¨ Ocean Drum
β¨ Chimes
β¨ Shell & Seed Rattles
β¨ And other carefully selected instruments
βOne of the most exciting additions will be the introduction of anti-gravity chairs.
Rather than settling onto the floor, guests will be invited to recline in weightless comfort, supported from head to toe.
My intention is for each Sound Bath Immersion to feel like a nurturing experience where guests can:
π Experience weightless comfort
π Experience being cradled and held
π Experience room to breathe
π Experience gentle support
π Experience deep rest
π Experience a soothing environment that helps calm the nervous system
β
πΏ Small Groups. Spacious Studio. Personal Experiences.
Sound Bath Immersions will be intentionally limited to approximately 10 guests.
This allows me to create the kind of experience I truly believe in:
β¨ Spacious
β¨ Personal
β¨ Nurturing
β¨ Accessible
β¨ Comfortable
I want The Wellness Room to feel less like a crowded event and more like a carefully prepared gourmet meal for the nervous system.
β
There should always be room to breathe.
πΏ Accessibility & Inclusion
Accessibility is becoming a foundational part of this new space.
β
The Wellness Room is being designed to welcome a wide variety of bodies, abilities, and mobility needs.
Guests are welcome to remain comfortably seated in their wheelchair throughout the entire experience.
For those who would like to transfer into an anti-gravity chair, a simple transfer board will be available to support a safe and comfortable transfer.
Every BODY is welcome.
Every BODY deserves comfort.
Every BODY belongs.

Renovations are currently underway and I am excited to share updates as this beautiful new space comes together.
Over the coming weeks and months, I'll be sharing:

β¨ Programs for children, teens, adults, and seniors
β¨ Inclusive offerings for people of varying abilities, disabilities, and support needs
β¨ LGBTQ+ community programs and events
β¨ Movement for Every Body classes
β¨ Community gatherings, workshops, and special events
β¨ Grand Opening announcements
The Wellness Room is evolving into a place that celebrates diversity, inclusion, accessibility, connection, and belonging.
My vision is to create a welcoming space where people can move, rest, learn, connect, express themselves, and feel supported exactly as they are.
