Meet Zsuzsanna "Suzy" Kiss
Suzy is a sound healer and Reiki practitioner based in Toluca Lake, California. Certified by renowned gong master Vikrampal, she specializes in advanced gong therapy techniques that dissolve stress and open space for healing. Her journey began during a time of profound grief — the gong gently carried her toward peace, and now she shares its resonance to help others reconnect with balance and clarity
She collaborates with wellness studios, retreats, and corporate teams across Southern California, bringing the power of sound to diverse communities.
My Journey with the Gong
When I first experienced the Gong, it was both powerful and mesmerizing. It didn't ask questions; it simply moved through me. Every cell, every atom seemed to vibrate and shift. With gentle intention and intuitive guidance, trapped emotions surfaced and slowly dissolved. It wasn't just a sound bath – it was a journey of release, recognition, and renewal.
That first experience reshaped how I understood healing - not as something we force, but something we allow.
"The Gong carried me out of grief and into light"
Read My Story
Losing my mother was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. She battled cancer for five years, and during that time, we became even closer. She wasn’t just my mom; she was my best friend, my mentor, my partner in crime. Everyone loved her; she was kind, funny, and full of light.
After she passed away, I tried my best to move through grief, but somehow I got stuck in sadness. At the same time, I was completely burned out. I was juggling three jobs, living in constant stress, and barely sleeping at all. My body and spirit were both exhausted. When everything collapsed - my work, my friendships, my energy - I found myself alone in my apartment, drained of motivation and joy.
I wasn’t suicidal, but I remember thinking: if even one tiny particle in my body keeps sinking into sadness, I’ll stop resonating. I had hit rock bottom emotionally, like being stuck in a deep ocean trench with no way up.
Then, something shifted. I discovered the gong - and met Vikrampal. The first time I experienced a gong bath, it felt as if someone had pressed the right button, like in a video game, and suddenly I could jump to the top. I began to wake up feeling lighter. I took long walks again. I started cleaning my space, showering without forcing myself, and the heaviness began to lift.
Soon after, I signed up for Vikrampal’s training, and my life truly changed. I studied for hours and also attended an in-person training in Los Angeles. During that weekend, something truly extraordinary happened. We were divided into two groups - while Group A played sixteen gongs surrounding us, Group B lay down for seven minutes to receive the sound, and then we switched.
As I lay on the floor, surrounded by waves of vibration, I slipped into a deep trance state. It felt like the sound reached places inside me that words could never touch. I realized how difficult it is for us humans to truly release pain - to identify it, face it, and let it go. Most of the time, we hold on without even realizing it.
I wouldn’t say I was fully healed in those two days, but it felt like I moved forward miles and universes in my healing process. It was almost miraculous - like the gongs gave me permission to finally let go of what I’d been carrying for years.
Since then, I’ve bought my instruments, continued to practice, and started sharing the power of sound with others. It’s my greatest joy to see people feel lighter, find balance, and reconnect with themselves - just as the gong helped me do.

What People Say
These are the words of people who have experienced the resonance, stillness, and transformation of Sonara Gong.

Ivett, Los Angeles, CA

I’ve taken several private gong baths with Suzy. The first was simply out of curiosity, but the next two became true breakthroughs. The experience helped me access emotions I had long pushed down, allowing them to surface so I could finally face them. The third session felt like a deep, extended meditation...and I can't wait to continue this journey to see where it will lead me.

Chantal, Los Angeles, CA

I really value sound healing. We’re all energetic beings that run on frequency, and just like a piano needs tuning, I think of a gong bath as a way to retune the system when we’ve fallen out of tune with ourselves. It works on such a deep, cellular level. I’m all for talk therapy, but some healing has to happen through the body — through vibration and energy movement, not just words. The gong’s sound shakes loose what’s been stuck, even things buried in the subconscious. It’s like when you see something on a table start to shake as a dinosaur walks by in a movie — that same vibration happens inside your body, but in a healing, balancing way. And the best part? All you have to do is lie there and receive it — it feels like a collective nap for healing and renewal. Suzy holds space so beautifully. She genuinely cares about helping people heal from the inside out and is deeply invested in energy work. I highly recommend her sessions. jj

I’ve tried many healing methods over the past 15 years, but Suzy’s approach brought a real breakthrough. By the second session, I could already feel a deep shift. The sounds helped release hidden emotional pain with such gentleness. Suzy intuitively senses where healing is needed and creates a safe space for transformation. What I appreciate most is her genuine care and follow-up after each session. I truly recommend her to anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and find inner harmony.

Suzy’s gong bath isn’t just relaxing, it’s an experience that wakes up every part of you. The sounds don’t just fill the room — they seem to move through you, clearing space inside. There’s a moment when everything gets quiet, and you can actually feel peace, not just think about it.
