Sound Is Listening

What Sound Is Listening does

Sound Is Listening is a Columbus, Ohio-headquartered sound healing and wellness practice founded in 2020 by Kelli Anna Gendalå and Jeremy Allen Miller. The company delivers live and virtual sound bath experiences, integration coaching, and a small catalog of digital music tracks, operating primarily across Ohio and Texas via partner venues such as yoga studios (PURE Yoga Texas, Flow Yoga Texas, ReWild Yoga), galleries (Camiba Gallery), and wellness spaces (Ebb and Float Columbus, Tranquility Salt Cave), alongside Eventbrite ticketing and a Squarespace-hosted e-commerce storefront. Its underlying methodology centers on acoustic entrainment — the use of rhythm and frequency to shift brainwave states from beta through alpha, theta, and delta — to facilitate relaxation, meditation, and what the founders describe as transformation and emotional release. The company's content portfolio includes individual music downloads under the SIL Sounds 1 album (priced at $0.99 per track), group sound bath sessions, virtual Zoom-based sound baths, and one-on-one private integration coaching.

The business model combines multiple low-ticket revenue streams: transactional ticket sales for live and virtual events (priced per event on Eventbrite), one-time digital music downloads at $0.99 each, and undisclosed-rate professional services for private coaching and integration sessions. The go-to-market motion is event-driven and community-led — public events generate attendee lists and testimonials that feed referrals and repeat bookings, while Instagram, an email newsletter, and the company website function as top-of-funnel channels. Customer segments are hybrid: individual wellness seekers seeking transformation, relaxation, or meditative experiences, and cultural institutions (museums and galleries) procuring immersive patron-engagement programming. Headcount remains at the two co-founders, with no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and no enterprise contracts of scale. The company is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and operates as a regional lifestyle-scale practice rather than a venture-backed growth business.
