Are light frequency therapy and vibrational sound healing real tools for physical and emotional healing, or are we just beginning to understand the language of the body? In this episode, I sit down with Alvin Harbour, founder of the IVOLV wellness center, and Linda Locurto to explore their work using sound therapy, light therapy, ozone, and resonance-based healing to support the nervous system, shift biochemistry, and restore the body's ability to repair itself. Alvin shares how his vision emerged from personal loss and his drive to recreate healing through vibration, oxygen, and light, using equipment he has personally built and modified, while Linda offers insight into her role in creating a safe, womb-like healing environment and helping clients shift from fight-or-flight into parasympathetic regulation through resonance therapy. Together, we discuss how sound frequencies, vibrational tables, and emotional safety work together to support deep healing and performance optimization.
