About me

​

Hi, I am Ute Coleman, founder of Sound Relaxation and Director of the Peter Hess® Academy Australia.

Born in Germany in 1973, I moved to Margaret River in 2004 with my Australian husband,

where we made our home and raised our two daughters.

​

Sound has been part of my life for as long as I can remember - through music, rhythm,

nature and the everyday soundscape of life.

 

My professional path into sound work was shaped by personal experience.

After the passing of my mother in 2010 and during a time of grief and nervous system

imbalance, I discovered the profound supportive effects of sound and deep relaxation.

This experience continues to inform my work today.

​

In my search for a grounded and responsible approach, I trained with the Peter Hess®

Institute in Germany and became one of the first Peter Hess® Sound Massage

practitioners in Australia. I opened my practice in 2011 and have since worked with

many people in individual sessions, groups, trainings and retreats.

 

My approach is experience-based, science-informed and rooted in safety, presence and

deep listening.

 

Sound, as I understand it, is not about performance or promises, but about creating conditions for balance, regulation and restoration.

 

Today, I also manage the Peter Hess® Academy Australia and have had the privilege of training and mentoring hundreds of students, supporting them to become confident, ethical and safe sound practitioners.

 

In a rapidly expanding and often trend-driven field, I remain committed to integrity, depth and professional standards.

​

I am nourished by sound, music, the ocean, nature, movement, meditation, art and connection and it is my honour to share this work with care and respect.

Everything is in a state of vibration, different frequencies and movement...."Each celestial body, in fact, each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, rhythm, or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having its own function and character, contributes to the whole."   

Pythagoras (569-475 BC)
