This Code guides Sam Cutri and any employee, contractor, volunteer, student or collaborator working under the Soundful Experience name. It applies across group sessions, private work, online practice and other facilitated Soundful Experience settings.
1. Respect and inclusion
- Treat every participant with dignity, compassion and respect.
- Respect differences in culture, identity, belief, ability, age, background and lived experience.
- Support a participant's autonomy, including their right to pause, decline, modify or leave a practice.
2. Safety and wellbeing
- Place physical, emotional and psychological safety ahead of performance or outcome.
- Explain the nature of a session in a way participants can understand and invite informed, voluntary participation.
- Monitor the environment and respond appropriately if a participant appears distressed, uncomfortable or unsafe.
- Maintain clear pathways for referral or emergency support where a need falls outside the scope of Soundful Experience.
3. Scope and honest representation
Soundful Experience is a sound, listening and wellbeing practice. It does not present itself as a substitute for medical, psychological or psychiatric assessment or treatment.
- Do not diagnose conditions or promise cures or guaranteed outcomes.
- Describe the evidence for sound, meditation and related techniques accurately and with appropriate limits.
- Distinguish research evidence, established acoustic principles, professional experience and personal or spiritual interpretation rather than presenting them as the same thing.
- Use testimonials as descriptions of individual experience, not proof that the same outcome will occur for everyone.
4. Consent and boundaries
- Seek meaningful consent and communicate clearly about what will happen in a session.
- Respect personal, emotional and physical boundaries.
- Do not exploit a participant's trust, vulnerability or dependence for personal, sexual, financial or other improper advantage.
- Maintain professional boundaries in private and group work.
5. Confidentiality and privacy
Personal information and private disclosures are handled with care and in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Confidentiality may be limited where disclosure is required or authorised by law or is necessary to respond to a serious safety or safeguarding concern.
6. Children and vulnerable participants
Additional safeguards apply when working with children and young people. Soundful Experience follows its Working with Children and Young People Policy, including requirements around consent, safe environments and WWC Checks where legally required.
7. Cultural respect
Soundful Experience draws inspiration from music, meditation, acoustic science and diverse contemplative traditions. Cultural and spiritual sources should be acknowledged with respect. Practices, symbols or traditions should not be represented as owned, invented or scientifically proven where that is not the case.
8. Competence and continuing development
- Work within training, experience and competence.
- Maintain relevant professional development, safety knowledge and safeguarding awareness.
- Review practice critically as research and professional understanding develop.
- Seek advice, supervision or referral when a situation is outside competence.
9. Conflicts, complaints and concerns
Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed and managed openly. Ethical or safety concerns should be taken seriously, documented where appropriate and addressed promptly and fairly.

The simple standard: the work should never require someone to surrender their autonomy in order to receive care, music, stillness or belonging.
