Reiki & Sound Healing — New Haven, CT
Healing That Begins
Where Words End
Private 1:1 sessions and intimate sound baths — held in-studio in New Haven, CT, with on-site sessions available.
The Approach
What If You Could Change Your Emotional and Cognitive State Without Saying a Word?
Onda sessions bypass the thinking mind entirely. Rather than processing through language, insight, or analysis, sound and Reiki communicate directly with the nervous system — shifting your physiology first, and letting your mind follow. Clients leave with quieter mental loops, reduced reactivity, relief from the physical weight of anxiety and depression, and a quality of sleep they'd forgotten was possible. These results don't require effort or belief. They require only that you show up and receive.

Reiki & Sound Healing
Integration
Private 1:1 sessions and intimate group sound baths, held in-studio in New Haven, CT. On-site group sessions are also available — we bring the experience to your workplace, event, or community space.
Master Level Reiki
Rooted in the ancient understanding that life force flows through the body, Reiki works with that energy directly. When the flow is blocked, we feel it — as tension, fatigue, or a sense of being stuck. This work gently restores that movement, inviting the body to soften and let go.
Sound Therapy
Sound bypasses the thinking mind and speaks directly to the body. Immersive tones and frequencies help the nervous system shift out of survival mode and into the kind of deep rest where healing becomes possible.
Vibroacoustics
The body is designed to respond to vibration. When resonance moves through the tissues, it offers the nervous system a felt sense of safety — something words and thoughts alone cannot always reach.
Somatic Awareness
Most of us have learned to live from the neck up. This work gently brings attention back into the body — not to analyze or fix, but to listen. When we notice what we carry, we begin to set it down.
Neuroscience & Polyvagal Informed
The body's chemistry,
rebalanced.
Our treatments reduce stress and anxiety by signaling safety to the nervous system and limbic circuits, decreasing hypervigilance and sympathetic arousal. As the body shifts out of survival mode, neurochemical activity rebalances—cortisol decreases, serotonin and oxytocin rise, and the body's innate capacity for self-regulation emerges.

The Session Journey
An intentional progression
from arrival to integration
Arrive & Breathe
Each session opens with pranayama designed to calm the nervous system and prepare the body for sound and Reiki. You settle in. The world outside fades.
Receive
Sound and Reiki work together to guide the body into deep rest, where tension softens and the nervous system begins to reorganize. Nothing is asked of you.
Return
A lasting sense of ease carries forward. With ongoing sessions, the nervous system learns a new baseline of calm—resilient, regulated, restored.
Your Practitioner
Maxwell Reichert
Sound Healer & Reiki Master
Maxwell came to sound healing and Reiki because he understands — from the inside — what it feels like when the nervous system has been pushed past its limits. That lived experience healing trauma through movement, sound, and energy work is the foundation of everything at Onda.
His training includes certifications from the Globe Institute, Integrative Energy Medicine Institute, and neuroscience coursework through Harvard — but it's the embodied understanding of trauma and nervous system recovery that makes sessions feel less like treatment and more like being genuinely met.
He works with the nervous system directly: creating conditions where the body remembers how to settle, where sound and Reiki communicate safety, and where lasting shifts happen — not just in the session, but in how you move through life.

Trauma-Informed Approach
Somatic regulation,
not retelling.
Rather than revisiting past experiences, sessions focus on how the nervous system and body are responding in the present moment—and how they regain the capacity to move forward.
Maxwell holds a contained, professionally boundaried space where everything offered is an invitation, never a requirement. Clients are supported without pressure to explain, relive, or articulate their experiences.
Through sound, vibration, energy, and breath, the body is guided toward safety, coherence, and resolution in its own time. Silence, rest, and subtle shifts are treated as meaningful forms of communication.

Justine van der Leun

"Max's sound bath had me physically grounded and 'melting' into the floor while simultaneously mentally levitating — an incredible, involuntary sensation."
