Sound Experience

REVIEWS

Heartfelt Release

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I had no idea how much emotional weight I was carrying until I experienced this sound bath and piano therapy session called “Emotiano”. While I have had plenty of experience with traditional sound baths, what Thayne does is truly revolutionary and truly healing. From the moment the first note played, I felt my body unwind in a way I didn’t even know was possible. The vibrations of the music seemed to reach places within me that words never could. By the end of the session, I was in tears—not from sadness, but from a deep release of emotions I had been holding onto for years. This was more than just music; it was a healing journey. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to find inner peace and emotional clarity."

Deep Relaxation & Stress Relief

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"As someone who struggles with chronic stress and anxiety, I have tried everything—meditation, yoga, even therapy—but nothing has ever brought me to a state of calm quite like this session. The combination of the piano’s gentle melodies and the resonating sound bath vibrations felt like they were washing away layers of tension from my mind and body. I left feeling lighter, more centered, and deeply at peace. If you’re looking for a way to truly disconnect from stress and reconnect with yourself, this is it! I had no idea something like this exists…but I will be telling EVERYONE!"

Pain Relief & Physical Healing

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for years, and I was skeptical that music could make a difference. But this experience was unlike anything else I’ve tried. The deep bass vibrations from the powerful digital speakers worked through my body in ways that felt deeply therapeutic. The gentle piano music created an atmosphere of pure serenity. For the first time in a long time, I felt my body relax completely, and my pain levels significantly decreased. It’s not just sound—it’s healing energy in its purest form. I will be making this a regular part of my self-care routine."

A Spiritual Awakening

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"This was not just a therapy session—it was a spiritual experience. From the moment I slipped under “Von Schmutzig”, Thayne’s epic grand piano, and sunk into the pillow, I could feel the energy shift. The state-of-the-art digital speakers created a stereo field I was completely immersed in. I could FEEL the notes. Thayne’s piano and cello melodies felt like they were guiding me into deep meditation, and the sound vibrations created a connection between my mind, body, and spirit that I’ve never felt before. I left with a newfound sense of clarity and a heart full of gratitude. Whether you’re on a journey of self-discovery or just need a moment to realign, this experience is a must. I was on a quick trip to Phoenix and am so glad I found this experience on AirBNB. This is absolutely life-changing!"

The Science of Music Therapy

Music therapy offers profound mental and physical benefits, and the piano is uniquely suited for healing with its broad dynamic range and ability to produce frequencies spanning bass, mid, and treble. These rich tones resonate deeply with the body and mind, creating a full-spectrum auditory experience that reduces stress, enhances emotional processing, and supports physical recovery.

Experts like Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score) emphasize the deep connection between trauma and the body, highlighting how therapies like music can facilitate emotional release and holistic healing. Similarly, Oliver Sacks (Musicophilia) illustrates how music stimulates memory, mobility, and emotional response, even in individuals with neurological challenges.

Research shows that music therapy reduces cortisol levels, improves heart rate variability, and fosters mental clarity. Whether soothing with low bass tones, stabilizing with midrange melodies, or inspiring with high treble notes, piano therapy offers a personalized path to balance and well-being.

Emotiano - Expericence The Emotional Healing Power of a $150,000 Grand Piano

The piano, with its ability to blend melody, harmony, and rhythm, uniquely connects to emotions and creates soundscapes that resonate deeply with the listener's inner experiences. It activates brain areas tied to emotions, memories, and self-awareness, making it a powerful tool for releasing repressed feelings and promoting healing.

Emotiano (pronounced "ee-mow-shee-on-oh") is a transformative form of piano-based music therapy developed by Thayne Martin. This innovative technique combines the piano’s rich vibrations with the empathic guidance of Thayne, who channels his life experiences to help individuals process emotions. Starting piano lessons at age 5, Thayne discovered the piano as a lifeline during a traumatic childhood, developing an extraordinary ability to express himself through improvisation.

Thayne’s unique gift—a heightened sensitivity to emotional energy—enables him to connect with people on a deep level, intuitively understanding their pain, struggles, and strengths. “I play what I feel,” says Thayne, whose melodies flow from decades of experience and an innate connection to his audience.

What makes the piano extraordinary is its dynamic tonal range—bass, mid, and treble frequencies—along with its ability to convey emotion through soft or loud expression, major and minor chords, and intricate rhythms. Emotiano harnesses this versatility to help you process unresolved emotions and find balance through the healing power of music.

What To Expect

An Emotiano session offers a deeply personal and healing experience tailored to your emotional needs. In a calm, supportive setting, Thayne uses the piano to create improvised music that reflects and helps process your unique life experiences through melody, harmony, and rhythm.

Your journey begins with an open conversation, sharing life experiences, and discussing areas you’d like to explore or improve. From there, the experience becomes fully immersive. You'll recline comfortably beneath Thayne’s beloved piano, Von Schmutzig, surrounded by plush pillows, blankets, and soft ambient lighting. Here, you'll feel the powerful vibrations and tonal richness of this $150,000 world-class instrument—one of only 16 in existence—as its soundboard resonates with healing energy. Hidden in the pillows are powerful digitally perfect speakers designed to provide a powerful stereo field that you will not only hear, but feel! That’s right…you are going to vibrate and be coddled by sound.

Each Emotiano session is done in three segments: Subtraction, Addition & Neautralization.

Subtraction is 15 minutes of digital soundscape, wherein the music and vibrations are designed to help you “let go” and immerse into the stereo field of music. You will hear and experience natural elements of rain, wind, thunder, nightime crickets, ocean waves, all the sounds of mother nature. Nature brings us to the first state of peace, where the emotional work begins.

Addition is 15 minutes of music and vibrations designed to invigorate and empower your senses as the session closes on truly the highest of notes and vibrational music power. The tempo of the music, the key of the music, the style of play, everything shifts to produce commanding stable melodic energy. You will end in a state of incredible peace and stability, ready to fly high!

Throughout the hour, as Thayne plays, your mind will wander through a unique journey. Negative energy, if present, will be identified and gently resolved through melodic techniques designed to help process and release emotional blocks. Each session is a one-of-a-kind experience, guiding you toward balance, clarity, and emotional harmony.

Neutralization is 30 minutes of digital soundscapes, acoustic instruments and acoustic piano vibrational therapy wherein a unique melody will develop and be played. During this phase, clients often go on numerous mental journeys and are able to process and feel many amazing things from their life. You may find power during this segment, you may find peace, you may find things in life that need healing, whatever comes up for you…is a gift. Be prepared to journey through your life. Patrons are encouraged to close their eyes and allow their mind to create a beautiful, vivid imaginative journey. You might even end up flying! One thing for certain, you will be safely guided back to the softest of landings in the neutral space where the magic in life happens in the here and now. It’s time to shift!

I would recommend this experience 1,000 percent as a healing, relaxing, and soothing experience.

  • Thayne has a gift that combines his talent at the piano with his empathy for others. A bit unorthodox in terms of therapy from the traditional sense, but truly a sound bath that taps into your own energy and immerses you into vibrations you cannot feel anywhere else. His piano is unique with a grand history, but Thayne’s skill at using the instrument to push and pull at your struggle is unmatched. During the experience, I felt connected to the song he created on the spot after a short conversation with me. After the experience, I walked away with a deeper understanding of my struggle and how to proceed in bringing happiness and success into my life again. If you have the time, prepare yourself for an experience like none other.

  • The Emotiano experience was deeply profound and powerful for me. I experienced what could be considered inner child healing and inner child work. It was transformative. During the meditation I felt a deep and clear sense of peace. I quite literally went on a journey in my mind and made peace with younger versions of myself, it was beautiful. Thayne’s set up is cozy and inviting. The speakers that project sounds of nature and other instruments in combination with him playing the piano made it a very immersive and powerful experience! As I made my way under the incredible piano I felt like I was crawling into a cocoon. The music was tailored to me personally by Thayne and it allowed me to move through many different emotions. As the session ended I physically felt different, I felt whole. This experience shifted my energy positively for the entire day and I highly recommend experiencing this for yourself.
