The CEO Sound Bath
Executive-level restoration for people who carry a lot.
CEO is the standard, not the job title.
A deeply restorative, 60–90-minute experience for executives, leaders, high performers, and teams who need more than a break.
Sound. Breathwork. Aromatherapy. Somatic release. Gentle energetic techniques. One intentional journey that helps the body let go, the mind grow quieter, and the nervous system return to a more grounded state.
What Is The CEO Sound Bath?
Not a massage. Not a meditation app. Something deeper.
A sound bath is a full-body listening experience. You are immersed in live, layered sound created through crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and other resonant instruments.
The CEO Sound Bath goes further.
Guided breathwork begins the shift. Aromatherapy deepens the sensory environment. Somatic awareness helps participants notice and release what the body has been holding. Gentle energetic techniques support a fuller sense of clearing, grounding, and integration.
Sound reaches places that thinking can't. The breath slows. Muscular tension softens. Mental loops become quieter. Energy begins to move again.
What starts as rest becomes a genuine shift in state.
Why CEO?
CEO is the standard, not the job title.
The name is a signal.
This is not a casual drop-in class or a few singing bowls placed in a conference room. It is a premium experience designed with the precision, depth, discretion, and quality leaders expect.
Brett Mackey brings a practitioner's sensitivity and a corporate insider's understanding to every session. He has spent more than a decade working within and alongside Fortune 500 organizations, including Deloitte, PwC, and Allstate.
He understands both the boardroom and the body: what high performance demands and what genuine recovery requires.
The CEO Sound Bath was created for the space between the two. It is executive-level restoration for anyone carrying real responsibility.
Inside the Experience
More than a sound bath. A complete journey.
Arrive
Participants enter a carefully prepared environment and settle onto a mat or into a chair. Optional intention-setting creates a point of focus for the experience.
Breathe
Guided breathwork begins the transition out of mental activity and into the body. The breath becomes the first tool for changing state.
Receive
Live crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and other resonant instruments create an immersive field of sound and vibration. Aromatherapy and sensory details take the experience deeper.
Release
Somatic prompts and gentle energetic techniques invite the body to soften, release tension, and move what has been held, without forcing an outcome.
Integrate
The experience closes with stillness and a gradual return. Participants have space to notice what shifted before moving into the rest of their day.

Research and Rationale
Ancient instruments. Modern nervous systems.
Sound-based practices have been used across cultures for centuries. Modern research is beginning to document what participants often feel directly: less tension, shifts in mood, and a deeper relaxation response.
In an observational study of 62 adults, a single singing-bowl meditation was associated with significant reductions in tension, anger, fatigue, and depressed mood. First-time participants experienced the greatest reduction in tension.
Goldsby et al., Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, 2017.Research explains part of the experience. The rest has to be felt.

Common Questions
Do I need experience with meditation or sound work?
None at all. The CEO Sound Bath was designed for people who may not normally do this kind of thing. You do not need to know how to meditate, understand energy work, or hold a particular spiritual belief. You simply need to arrive and be willing to receive the experience.
What should I expect during the session?
You'll arrive, choose a mat or chair, and have the option to set an intention. Brett will guide brief breathwork and somatic awareness before moving into live sound using crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and other resonant instruments. Aromatherapy and gentle energetic techniques may be incorporated based on the session and participant preferences. Some people feel deeply relaxed. Some fall asleep. Some experience emotion, insight, or physical release. Others simply enjoy being still. There is no right way to experience it.
Can this be part of a corporate retreat or offsite?
Yes, this is where corporate groups get the most value. Executive teams consistently report sharper thinking, better team cohesion, and a genuine sense of recovery after a facilitated group session. We handle everything from logistics to facilitation.
What's the hotel residency model?
Paradigm Rhyme partners with luxury hotels, private clubs, and spas to provide recurring CEO Sound Bath programming. Brett designs, delivers, and manages the experience around your guests, brand, environment, and programming calendar. Partnerships are available in Chicago and select travel markets.
Can participants sit instead of lying on the floor?
Yes. Participants can receive the complete experience from a mat, chair, or another supported position. The room can be adapted for mobility, comfort, sensory, and accessibility needs.
Is aromatherapy required?
No. Aromatherapy is optional. Scent-free accommodations can be provided for individuals or groups with sensitivities, allergies, or preferences.
How do I book?
For monthly events, you can reserve a spot directly via Calendly. For private sessions, executive groups, or hotel partnerships, book a 20-minute conversation and we'll figure out what makes sense together.
What shifts when people experience it
"Brett shared his work at my team on short notice. The session was exactly what we needed: practical, grounding, and impactful. You created an experience that was both therapeutic and real."
"I've been to almost 10 Paradigm Rhyme classes and events now, and every time I walk away feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected. The experience is genuinely restorative."
"Before we even got started, Brett impressed me. He took the time to understand what was going on and asked all the right questions. Something actually shifted. I could feel it in my body."
This is the reset you've been putting off.
You carry a lot. You do not have to carry all of it into what comes next.
Come experience what happens when the breath slows, the body releases, and the thinking mind finally gets quiet.
One session. No prior experience needed. Just show up and let it work.
