About

A Welcoming Wellness Community

A calm, educational space for retreats, breathwork, sound experiences, community gatherings, and practical wellness resources.

Alleviating Sounds was founded by Alice Wilcox to create welcoming experiences that bring together wellness education, breathwork, sound experiences, retreats, and community connection. Each offering is designed to help people slow down, reflect, and explore simple practices they can carry into everyday life.

Whether you join us for a retreat weekend, a sound bath, a class, a workshop, a community event, or a quiet moment with one of our books or wellness products, the focus stays the same: connection, education, reflection, and meaningful experiences shared in community.

Alice combines her experience as a sound practitioner, breathwork educator, retreat leader, and author to create grounded, approachable experiences that feel both calming and practical. Her work emphasizes supportive learning, thoughtful guidance, and tools people can continue using long after an event has ended.

Alleviating Sounds believes wellness support should be informative, accessible, and rooted in self-awareness. We encourage people to better understand their stress responses, daily rhythms, and wellness habits so they can make thoughtful choices, ask informed questions, and feel more connected to themselves and the people around them.

Health Data & Wellness Support

Nathan Wilcox provides health data support and wellness education services designed to help individuals better understand their daily health patterns. Drawing from experience as a Medical Assistant and Thai therapist, he helps people collect and organize information from continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), heart rate monitoring systems, and wellness tracking tools. His goal is to help individuals create useful reports and observations they can share with their healthcare providers, supporting more informed conversations and a more complete picture of daily health.
