Private 9D Breathwork, Reiki and sound therapy in East Lothian / Edinburgh

Private calm reset sessions.

For people in East Lothian and Edinburgh who feel switched on, tense, tired, or stuck in their head and want a quieter way to come back to themselves.

This is not about having a big experience in a room full of people. In-person sessions can include Reiki, aromatherapy and a sound therapy bed so you can hear and gently feel the sound. One-to-one guided 9D sessions are also available online through Zoom.

Bryden McKinnie I keep the space calm, explain what is happening, and help you go at your own pace.

Private does not have to mean intense.

Group sessions can be bigger 9D journeys with more intensity. This private offer starts somewhere simpler: calm, rest, regulation and feeling safe enough to switch off.

Some people do not want a room full of people. Some people do not want to talk a lot. Some just want a proper hour where their body can soften and their mind can stop carrying everything for a while.

The session can be quiet and gentle. Reiki, calming sound, breath, aromatherapy and the sound therapy bed can be combined in a way that suits you.

If a deeper 9D journey is the right thing later, we can talk about that. It does not need to be the starting point.

Choose the kind of reset you need.

You do not need to know the exact format before you enquire. These are simple starting points so you can say, "that sounds like me." The sound therapy bed responds to the music or relaxation audio, so you can hear the sound through headphones and gently feel it through the body too. The audio is chosen for the kind of session you need, such as grounding, switching off, deep rest, clarity or emotional steadiness.

For regular calm

Calm Reset with Reiki and sound therapy bed

A private 60-minute appointment for one person, led with Reiki, calming sound, aromatherapy and the sound therapy bed where suitable.

  • Good as a regular weekly or monthly reset
Explore calm reset

This is the softest place to start. You lie down, get comfortable, and the session is built around rest rather than effort.

Reiki leads the session. The sound therapy bed lets you gently feel the sound through the body, using calming audio chosen for rest, grounding or switching off.

The appointment includes a short check-in first, like you would expect before a massage or bodywork session, so there is time to arrive properly before the main relaxation part begins.

Good if you are tired, overstimulated, tense, emotionally full, or simply want something calmer than another massage or busy class.

For guided relaxation

Private 9D guided relaxation

A private guided 9D relaxation appointment for one or two people. Allow up to 75 minutes so there is enough time to arrive, practise the breath, complete the journey and settle afterwards.

  • Down-regulating, not activating
  • Breathwork kept steady and gentle
  • Time to settle, practise the breath and land afterwards
  • For one or two people who want to try 9D in a smaller space
Explore 9D journeys

These are not the more intense journeys used in some group sessions. The session is built around getting settled first, explaining the breath, practising gently, then going into the guided 9D relaxation with time to land at the end.

Deep RelaxationFor people who want to slow down and feel deeply supported without needing a more intense emotional journey.
Nervous System ResetFor stress, burnout, busy minds and people who find it hard to come down from life.

A longer two-hour private breathwork session is still available where suitable, but it is not the main starting point for this page.

  • Only where the journey feels appropriate
  • In-person support may be recommended
Explore deeper themes

Some themes need more space, care and preparation. These are better discussed first rather than picked from a menu.

Letting goFor people who feel ready to put something down, but do not want to do that in a busy group space.
Breaking family patternsFor old emotional weight, shame, rejection, abandonment, or feelings that seem bigger than the present moment.
ResetFor a deeper private reset with preparation, support and landing time, only where it feels suitable.
Grief and lossFor emotions that still feel heavy, life changes, separation, regret, or something that keeps coming back around.

Hear and feel the sound.

The sound therapy bed lets you hear the audio through headphones and gently feel parts of it through the body while you rest.

The bed is a Woojer MAT. It uses vibroacoustic technology to turn low-frequency sound into gentle physical sensation. You hear the sound through headphones and feel some of it through the body while you rest.

It can be used with calming music, softer 9D relaxation journeys, Reiki, aromatherapy and quiet time in the room. You do not need to understand the technology. You just lie down and notice how it feels.

This is similar in spirit to why people often find sound baths, singing bowls or low, steady sound grounding. The difference here is that the mat responds to the audio you are hearing, so the low-frequency parts of the music become something you can feel through the body.

Suitability note: the sound therapy bed is optional. The Woojer MAT is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. It is not used for anyone with a pacemaker or implanted electronic medical device. If it is not suitable, the session can still happen without it.

Feeling safe matters.

Private sessions work best when you feel comfortable enough to relax. You do not need to explain everything, perform, or make anything happen.

Tracy MilliganAfter a private Calm Reset session
"I have been at a few of Bryden's 9D Breathwork classes, which I loved, and when he started offering reiki with the haptic mat I knew I needed to try it. The mat, music and reiki combination was amazing. I felt relaxed, held and in very safe hands. Bryden is exceptional at what he does and I can't recommend him enough."

What happens in a private session.

It stays simple. You are not coming in to perform, explain everything, or make something happen.

Arrive and settle

We keep the start calm. You can say what you need, or keep it simple if you do not want to talk much.

Choose the support

Reiki, calming sound, gentle breathwork, aromatherapy and the sound therapy bed can be used where suitable.

Land gently

There is time at the end to come back slowly, notice how you feel, and leave without rushing.

Questions people ask.

A few simple answers before you enquire.

Is this the same as a group 9D Breathwork session?

No. Group sessions can be bigger 9D journeys with more intensity. The private options can start with calm, rest, Reiki, the sound therapy bed and gentle breathwork.

Do I need to have done breathwork before?

No. You do not need experience. The session can stay gentle, and the breathwork is only used in a way that fits you and the session.

What is the sound therapy bed?

It is a padded Woojer MAT that uses vibroacoustic technology, so low-frequency parts of the audio can be felt through the body while you listen through headphones. It means you can hear and gently feel the music.

Can I use the sound therapy bed if I have a pacemaker?

No. The sound therapy bed is not used for anyone with a pacemaker or implanted electronic medical device. If it is not suitable, the session can still happen without it.

Can I have a private 9D session online?

Yes. One-to-one guided 9D sessions are available through Zoom. You need a quiet, private place to lie down, headphones and a reliable internet connection. Reiki, aromatherapy and the sound therapy bed are in-person options and are not included online.
