What It Feels Like to Float

During your experience, you will rest comfortably on a floating mat with a soft blanket as you are guided into a state of calm. From there, you will be immersed in a soothing sound journey designed to help the body soften, the mind become still, and the stresses of the day gently drift away.

Unlike a traditional sound bath, floating allows your body to feel supported and almost weightless. The gentle movement of the water, combined with layers of calming sound and vibration, creates an immersive experience that can feel both grounding and ethereal.

Meet Your Practitioners

Barb Konotopsky

Shaman, Reiki Master, Certified Sound Bath Practitioner, Spritual Teacher

I am a Certified Reiki Master, a Violet Flame Reiki Master, intuitive healer, meditation teacher and coach, and sound bath practitioner. My approach blends ancient wisdom with modern energy healing techniques, creating a safe and compassionate space where clients can release emotional blocks, restore energetic balance, and experience deep transformation.

For more than 17 years, I have been on a profound journey of self-healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening. Through life’s many transitions and experiences, I discovered that true healing begins within. Each chapter of my journey has deepened my understanding of the mind, body, spirit, and the incredible resilience of the human soul.

My path has led me to train as a Shaman in the ancient Peruvian Medicine Wheel tradition, where I learned sacred teachings that honor our connection to nature, spirit, and the wisdom of our ancestors. These practices continue to guide my work, helping others reconnect with their authentic selves and awaken their own inner healer.

Whether through intuitive guidance, Reiki, meditation, shamanic practices, or immersive sound healing, my intention is to support each person’s unique journey toward healing, clarity, empowerment, and spiritual alignment. I believe every individual holds the innate ability to heal, and my role is to help illuminate that path.

The Healing Power of Sound

Sound baths are a deeply restorative experience that uses the vibrations of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other sacred instruments to promote relaxation and energetic harmony. These vibrations encourage the nervous system to shift from a state of stress into one of rest and renewal, often helping to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, support emotional release, and cultivate a profound sense of inner peace.

The human body is composed of approximately 60% water. Because sound travels efficiently through water, the vibrations produced during a sound bath can be felt throughout the body. While many people describe experiencing a deep sense of resonance and relaxation, it’s important to note that claims about sound directly “changing” the water in the body or producing specific biological effects have not been conclusively established by scientific research. What is well supported is that sound-based relaxation practices can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and support overall well-being.

My intention during every sound bath is to create a sacred space where healing frequencies invite the body to relax, the mind to quiet, and the spirit to remember its natural state of balance, peace, and wholeness.

“Healing is not about becoming someone new—it is about remembering who you have always been.”

Lorna Penner

Registered Massage Therapist, Shaman, Certified Sound Practitioner

I am a compassionate wellness practitioner whose journey began more than eight years ago when I became a Registered Massage Therapist. While studying and building my practice, I discovered that I was highly empathetic and sensitive to the energy of both my clients and the spaces around me. This awareness inspired me to begin a personal path of growth, self-discovery and healing, guided by both modern therapeutic practices and ancient wisdom.

Drawn to a deeper understanding of holistic healing, I trained under a shaman versed in the ancient Peruvian tradition of the Medicine Wheel. I completed the Medicine Wheel three times, culminating in a transformative journey to Peru. There, I spent 10 unforgettable days participating in ceremony and working alongside High and Master Shamans. I visited sacred sites, including Machu Picchu, and immersed myself in the teachings, traditions and energies of the Andes. During this journey, I deepened my understanding of shamanic practices and received High Rites from Master Puma.

Inspired by my experiences in Peru and my growing understanding of energy medicine, I continued expanding my practice by becoming a certified Sound Bath Practitioner. Through the therapeutic vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other healing instruments, I create immersive sound experiences designed to encourage deep relaxation, support emotional release and promote energetic balance and alignment.

By blending my knowledge of the body through massage therapy with shamanic healing and sound therapy, I offer a unique, heart-centred approach that supports the whole person—body, mind and spirit.

I believe true healing begins when we reconnect with our innate wisdom and create space for transformation. My intention is to empower each person I work with to rediscover their inner strength and embrace a life of greater peace, balance and authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kind Words from our Guests

A sense of calmness, contentment and grateful wellbeing

I attended a sound bowls meditation and a sound bath with Barb and Lorna. In both instances the sounds coming from both sources were melting into one. I could not differentiate where the sound was coming from. The meditation was much deeper with the sound bowls than with a voice meditation app. On the case of my experience with the sound bath, the gentle movement of the water with the gentle breeze of the outdoors was a deeper experience leaving me with a sense of calmness, contentment and grateful wellbeing. This experience stayed with me for several days. I would strongly recommend it and am definitely looking forward to another experience of either one.

Like floating around a beach

My experience with the floating sound bath was a very relaxing experience. The crystal bowls were so soothing to listen to and the background music with birds made it even better. I experienced the feeling of floating around a beach and also the jungle. It was a completely peaceful feeling. I would definitely do this again!!

– Sandy, Aldersyde
Get ready for a good night's sleep

Being my first time I did not know what to expect. It was definitely more than I anticipated. With each new sound, the vibration would hit a wall halfway through my body, and slowly exit. At the end of the session I was completely relaxed and ready for a good nights sleep. I would absolutely take advantage of doing this again and encourage others to try it out.

– Jody, Aldersyde

Wait...isn't Lazy Day a rafting company?

Since 2007, Lazy Day has been helping people slow down, reconnect and create lasting memories on Calgary’s Bow River. What began as a simple idea—making it easier for people to enjoy a beautiful day on the water—has grown into one of Calgary’s most recognized outdoor experiences.

Over the years, we have welcomed families celebrating milestones, friends reconnecting, visitors discovering Calgary for the first time and locals seeing their city from an entirely new perspective. Our greatest measure of success has never been the number of rafts we rent or the awards we receive. It is the smiles at the end of the journey, the stories people share and the knowledge that we helped create a moment they will remember for years to come.

That sense of connection has always been at the heart of Lazy Day. A float down the river offers something increasingly rare: time to pause, breathe, laugh and be fully present with the people around you. We have seen how powerful those moments can be, and they have inspired us to imagine new ways of helping people step away from the pace and pressure of everyday life.

For years, it has been our passion to expand into wellness experiences that carry forward the same care, creativity and commitment that built Lazy Day. Experiences designed not simply to entertain, but to restore, inspire and leave a meaningful impact.

Lazy Day Wellness is the next chapter in that journey. Through immersive experiences such as floating sound baths, guided relaxation and thoughtfully designed moments of connection, we are creating spaces where people can slow down, release stress and reconnect with themselves.

The setting may be different, but our purpose remains the same: to create unforgettable experiences that bring people joy, deepen connection and become part of the memories they carry with them long after the day is over.
