Charlotte Church plays Alison Hammond ‘healing sounds’ on This Morning

Charlotte Church demonstrated her work as a practitioner of “healing sounds” during an interview on This Morning.

The singer, 38, is a founder of a Welsh wellness retreat called The Dreaming, which regularly runs nature-based classes that blend research with “ancient indigenous practises” and her own experience.

Church told ITV talk show hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary on Wednesday that “singing has always been a huge balm to my soul”.

She added: “I have managed to soothe myself and love myself through singing and making sound and healing myself in ways and nature, like real connections, to nature and the land around me, the trees, the rivers of Cardiff has also really enabled me to stay really rooted.”

Following Hammond saying she would like to attend Church’s retreat, the singer called herself a “practitioner” at the Cambrian Mountains-based centre who uses “sound therapy stuff, some of which is sound healing or sound journeys” to help people.

Church then showed herself using a reverie harp, which is an oval-shaped instrument with strings that can be used in therapeutic sessions and invited Hammond and O’Leary to do “omming” sounds.

They then made “oms” in unison, before the Welsh star also sang: “Good morning, this morning, to all.”
