Last evening I attended Zaff?s sound bath in Bottesford. My first ever sound bath! I wasn?t sure what to expect but Zaff reassured me, both in his contact ahead of the session and in person when I arrived. I experienced an almost hypnotic calm and relaxation during the session, I couldn?t really define which instruments were being used but they definitely took me to a feeling of being totally in the moment. To be honest, I didn?t really want it to end! I felt so incredibly at peace afterwards went to bed early, and slept very deeply. I have been thinking about it today, realising what a unique experience that one hour was. Definitely one I want to have again. Zaff?s friendly, calming personality is one you couldn?t fail to like and feel totally comfortable with and 100% trust in. I wouldn?t hesitate to recommend his sound baths, however unsure you might be of giving it a try.

This was my first experience of Sound Bathing and I really didn?t know what to expect apart from a restful hour of listening to a variety of sounds. What happened was far more profound than I could have imagined. Zaff, of Sacred Feathers, carefully took us through a range of resonances, from light high sounds to deep strong notes. The intensity of the percussion built and relaxed so that I felt enveloped in the vibrations. By the end of the hour, I realised that my body had truly released a lot of its held tension: a transformative experience. Zaff took great care to guide us through the sound bathing safely. Thank you, Zaff for introducing me to Sound Bathing - I will definitely participate again.

I attended a sound bath session with Zaff and it was incredible. I really didn't know what to expect when I booked, but Zaff made me feel very welcome even before I entered the room. The experience was deep felt and soothing, ranging from calm to storm like. I would recommend to anyone

I was a little apprehensive at first as I had not experienced a sound bath before and only became aware of this through a friend with little more than 48 hours notice so had very little time to research. Zaff?s caring nature was immediately apparent through the emails which were welcoming and informative, ensuring I was fully prepared. It was odd entering the hall as I associate it physical training , but there was definitely a different feel to it as Zaff welcomed us and talked us through what to expect and what to do if we felt uncomfortable at any point.The actual experience was unique, different feelings washed over me prompting a strong sense of safety but predominantly peace. This was present throughout, but what was fascinating for me, was the different physical responses to the instruments as , for me, it was like a physical massage with specific instruments corresponding to different parts of the physical body.The feeling of peace lasted for the rest of the day and I certainly slept well, waking refreshed. I cannot wait to book again.Thank you Zaff

Well, what can I say. You can call it luck but I actually call this fate where I was lucky enough to find Zaff holding a sound bath class at Holme Pierrepoint.I sent a quick enquiry and Zaff responding straight away with so much information about the class and that his last class was that very evening so I booked my place! Thank goodness I did.The class was serene the moment I entered the room and he has an aura about him that makes you feel safe and calm, i don't find relaxing that easy however it was effortless with the help of Zaff.The sounds, the motions, his tone and the way the sounds flowed gave me immediate goosebumps and I saw colours which later transpired to be colours of emotions and Zaff explained the meanings which was scary on how true they all were. All of this just by sounds......sounds!After a VERY tough 2 years, I knew I needed something in my life for help on my own mental health and not only is sound bath the something but Zaff is also the someone who I know can and will help me.He is wonderful and so magical, couldn't recommend him more and cannot wait for my next sound bath session

I attended a group Sound Bath led by Zaff last Friday June 2nd and what a wonderful experience! It was my first sound bath and although I was not apprehensive, Zaff was very professional in explaining what will happen with the session, what we may experience as individuals and reassured everybody that he would be watching us to make sure that they were ok. Even now it is hard to explain the deep relaxation and almost 'out of body' experience I felt with genuinely feeling immobile during the latter half of the session, but in a very safe and managed way. All of the instruments had a specific effect though the gong was the most impactful. We ran slightly over time, although the strange thing is time seemed to fly by if not freeze completely! Afterwards I felt as if I had been part of a surreal experience, relaxed completely naturally and I slept the best I have slept for a very long time. Zaff has an aura about him as an ultimate professional, confident, reassuring and with a soft voice that instantly sets the occasion ahead to be both memorable and relaxing. I would definitely recommend Zaff and Sacred Feathers Healing to anybody and will be booking another session in the near future.

I have never done anything like a sound bath before but had a chat with the instructor zaff before hand who filled me in on all the benefits it can have on people. I train in the gym 6 days a week which is very demanding physically so after hearing the benefits this can have mentally i thought i would give it a go. Zaff makes you feel very welcome and at ease before the class even begins. He is very proffesional and caring all throughout the class which is great, he explains everything so well and tells us what to do if at any point we become uncomfortable. The class starts with some smaller instruments and sounds which help put you in a relaxed trance state. Which deepens as the class goes on and the instruments become bigger and louder which completely submerge you into relaxation. When the class finished, it takes a while to come around and gain your bearings as you have the feeling you have been in a trance. I was so relaxed for the rest of the evening after the class and slept like a baby that night having 1 of the best nights i have had in a while. Upon waking the next day, it was really weird but my mind felt like it had a release and i could think clearly with no stress which was great. Zaff the instructor again cannot be faulted in any way. Very proffessional, caring and empathetic and has a lot of knowledge in the line of therapy that he offers. Any1 wondering the benefits this can have for them or skeptical avout participating in something new, i highly recommend at least speaking to zaff for more information on his treatments.

Had had very difficult year with my life and I decided to take a Reki treatment from Zaff. I was recommended by another friend who had few treatment from Zaff. I really pleased with his treatments. This was the second Reiki treatment I had had in my life and a really felt calm and great experience than the first one. He led the session with respect and with a quiet assurance. After the treatment I felt very relax and calm It was difficult to describe my experience was like going into an extremely deep, relaxed state, one that I was slow to come out of by the end. It felt as though pressures had lifted and I was more anchored to the present. The music he played also very relaxing. I would certainly recommend Zaff and his treatment to anyone who can spare a little time out of a busy life to appreciate the quality of being still and calm while in healing - as well as professional - hands. Thank you very much Zaff. I will recommend his serves. All the best Zaff

Despite having had holistic treatments previously I always feel slightly nervous about a new treatment with a new (to me) practitioner. Zaff's calm and thorough explanation about the process involved and what the effects might be was very reassuring.I felt I was in good hands (literally!) from the outset.The first part of the treatment which included focussing on breathing followed by a rather wonderful visualisation where I was lying on a beach observing birds and wildlife and enjoying the calming sound of the sea helped me to relax and to be receptive to the Reiki treatment that followed.During the Reiki I felt warmth above and within my body in addition to an increased sense of energy.It was very soothing. Zaff was very sensitive when he held my head and shoulders, hands, back and feet between his hands.Channels of energy seemed to open up and I was able to let my body feel completely supported.I felt very connected in that moment and blissfully unaware of the reality of the day outside of us!Zaff left me to take my time to 'come around' after the end of the treatment.I felt there was no rush to be back to 'normal' which was just as well as I really had zoned out.I felt relaxed and calm and much more grounded.For the rest of the day I was a little slow and spaced out as if my mind and body were readjusting to a newer way of being. Zaff's advice to stay well hydrated was good.His suggestion that I would likely sleep well that night came true too-I had a very sound sleep.I believe Zaff's treatment and his calm and sensitive style enabled me to have a really positive and profound response.It was very special.I would thoroughly recommend him.

I had an Indian head massage session with Zaff. I found that he was very sensitive and understanding to my needs and explained what would be entailed. I have had full body massages before but what I liked about Zaff was that he started the session with a guided meditation, which was very helpful in relaxing me and getting me ready for the treatment. He took great pains beforehand to make sure that I would be in a comfortable position for when the treatment started properly. The peace and calmness after the treatment last a good few hours afterwards and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Zaff comes across as a well educated and caring individual. I had a session of reiki which was informative and very relaxing. He seems to have a depth of knowledge not just specifically in reiki but around many areas of general wellbeing. I would recommend without hesitation.

Very happy to recommend.I was introduced by a friend and chose to have Reiki for the first time. I had no apprehensions or expectations beforehand. Zaff took time to prepare and explain the process and what to expect which gave me confidence to trust, relax and enjoy the session. I felt very calm and awake afterwards. I would love to go back for more!

Zaff gave me a head and face massage, sensitively avoiding fragile and arthritic areas of my neck and shoulders. His touch was gentle but effective and relaxing.
