Under The Piano

Sound Spa for Body, Mind & Soul

Where exhausted caregivers become cherished guests

ABOUT US

The Invitation You've Been Waiting For

You’ve spent years tending to others. Being strong. Being present for everyone but yourself.

Since 2009, Under the Piano has offered healing through music in Vancouver—a sanctuary for women seeking emotional wellness through our transformative piano experience. This is where you discover what it feels like to be held—not by arms, but by the 800 pounds of a grand piano creating vibrational sound healing designed specifically for your emotional frequency.

This isn’t traditional Vancouver music therapy. It’s not a performance. It’s the only luxury piano experience Vancouver offers where you literally rest inside the music while Craig Addy, after 15 years of deep listening, reads the landscape of your heart and translates it into 40 minutes of spontaneous piano improvisation that could only exist for you.

No two sessions are alike. Because no two souls are alike.

To the partners who see her: You know she’d never book this for herself. That’s exactly why she needs you to book it for her.

“I knew five notes in that this experience would be like none other. Everything else fell away; I was simply present.”

–Sandra Lowe

I came seeking healing after losing our son. What I received was a deep sense of safety and a comforting reminder that love surrounds us.

–Allison Bran

“If you want to be moved and healed - and crave something beyond the usual spa experience - this is it. Powerful and exactly what I needed.”

–Sarah Bundy

The Experience

Your Restorative Musical Journey

Imagine: You enter our Vancouver wellness experience sanctuary where soft light plays across a cherry wood grand piano. After sharing whatever needs to be heard – your story, your silence, your season of life – you settle onto cushions beneath the piano’s profound belly for your Under the Piano session.

Then it begins. Not from a playlist. Not from memory. But born from this moment, from YOUR moment. As Craig creates your custom piano compositions, the soothing piano vibrations become a living, breathing presence above you. Each note doesn’t just reach your ears – it resonates through your bones, your breath, your being.

The piano holds you so you don’t have to hold anything.

This intimate sonic meditation is what our clients mean when they say they’ve never felt so heard without speaking a word. It’s music for emotional healing at its most profound.

Your Keepsake

Music That Continues Long After the Last Note

Your bespoke sound spa session includes a professional recording of your spontaneous compositions – music that exists nowhere else in the universe. People tell us they return to these recordings during difficult moments, celebrations, or simply when they need to remember what it feels like to be held in beauty.

One client shared: “It’s like having a conversation with the wisest part of myself, captured forever.”

A New Musical Discovery

For Partners Who See Her

You see her giving endlessly while neglecting herself. You know she’d never book this for herself—which is exactly why she needs you to. Under the Piano becomes your gift of recognition, your way of saying ‘I see how much you carry.’ Many partners tell us this experience opened conversations years of talking couldn’t reach

Testimonials

Unique and Inspiring Tatiana Mersiadis - LY2NK Foundation

What a wonderful way to re-connect with your partner and create new possibilities. Craig has a talent like no other. The fact that the music is organic and made just for you as he gets to know you, makes it that much better. Your personal, intimate, original custom made playlist. What a wonderful gift to give to that special someone in your life. Will be back many more times, I didn’t want it to end!

Wedding Gift from Beloved Father Melanie Yu

This was really a unique and special gift given to us by my father who is a big audiophile the week before our wedding in the woods. The experience was so sensory and moving. I did find myself touched to tears at one point! My husband doesn’t listen to much classical music at all, but he really enjoyed the novel experience and was in awe by Craig’s talent. Craig’s personal approach made the experience feel truly custom-fit for us in that moment. Pre-wedding can be a stressful time. Finding out you’re pregnant the week before adds a bit of extra surprise! Having this hour just the two of us and our secret bump was beautiful. I can’t wait to play Craig’s MP3 to our little 19 week boy as now he can hear sounds!

A therapeutic and moving experience L.T Kwok

Craig was so genuine in knowing more about me beforehand to make the concert as personable as possible, and so he delivered. Craig’s serene presence and free flowing talent took me through a timeless journey weaving through so many liberating emotions. I would definitely experience this again.

A Unique and Wonderful Experience Jennifer Hess

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Under the Piano. Upon our arrival we were enveloped in calm, beautiful energy as Craig took time to share, learn about us and explain what we could expect during our session. This allowed us to be able to fully relax into the experience. Craig is very professional and a gifted pianist. The time under the piano was physically comfortable, and spiritually and emotionally joyful for us. Would highly recommend. Thank you Craig!

My friend and I didn’t Liliana Ayala - Divine Decor

My friend and I didn’t know what to expect going to our “Under the Piano” experience and we were pleasantly surprised. It definitely brings out emotions and hearing the beautiful music speaks to your soul. I recommend this for relaxation, reflection and for anyone dealing with grief. Every song was composed on the spot – amazing!

Couple’s Under the Piano Package Lea Chambers

As a gift to ourselves, my husband and I booked a session under the piano with Craig Addy. A very warm and welcoming professional, Craig first invited us to his couch and with a glass of champagne we shared a bit about ourselves with him. Under the piano we lay waiting, cushioned and cozy. As the music began, scenes played in my imagination like a dream experience. Walking amongst constellations. Remote streams of water. Bunnies persisting up a knobby hill. Midnight blue thunder storms. The Great Wave off Kanagawa painting coming into motion, throwing itself back and forth. Big keys landing and questioning my core. What is it that I am, if I am to accept myself. My husband enjoyed the experience as well – I think I had at least a dozen thank you’s from him afterward. A remarkable experience, hosted by a remarkable talent. If you can go, then go! As a keepsake, we opted for the recordings as well. Perhaps listening will remind us of this time or will create new experiences into the future. Thank you, Craig!

A Wonderful Musical and Spiritual Experience Bruce Chenail

“Under the Piano” is a unique and wonderful experience. Pianist and Improvisationalist Craig Addy welcomes you warmly at the door of his home studio in the heart of Vancouver. He offers you an optional glass of wine and engages you in a short, comfortable conversation where he intuits your expectations and desires for your customized session. Later when you are literally under the piano he begins to play (brilliantly-he is a world class pianist). He improvises on the spot for you alone; your personal music never played before or never again. The music ranges from quietly gentle to passionately stimulating. It will touch your heart and soul. Musical vibrations envelop you. You can reach out and touch them back (the actual sounding board of the piano). Several pieces are created and recorded just for you. My husband and I gave this experience to each other for Valentine’s Day and have booked it again for next year. You will absolutely love it just as we did. Dr. Bruce C.

Catherine Wood Catherine Wood

Thank you forever for the unique and beautiful experience a few weeks ago of Under the Piano! I was healed, moved, and inspired about the opportunity of romance, creation & imagination. What you create with your music is magical. The particularly intimate perspective of being part of the music was blissful and absolutely priceless. I was surrounded by the music; the vibration of the piano, the energized air, and the childlike experience of delight at my ‘sneaky’ location. Thank you for the musical adventure & the bliss!

Alex Vachon Alex Vachon Cartouche Creations LLC

As I lied down on the silk pillows, under the piano, a sense of goodness and peace, not unlike when you step in a cathedral, permeated me. Here, under a roof of thick wooden beams going in all directions, I felt as if I could hide and be completely myself, whoever that is. Such confinement, such freedom, suspended, between earth and heaven. Time came to a stand still. Silence. I knew of a rendez-vous taking place. Then you open the floodgates. A river of vibrations swept my entire body. You made me feel connected with an instrument, a vibrational device that transformed every sensation into sweetness and passion. Past, present and future disappeared. Traumatic events, joy, beauty, love all swept in one full wave of energy, then another wave, and another, the river kept me going strong. What a ride! I didn’t want it to end. All is beautiful. All is well. Thank you Craig Addy for your Art.

Feeling calm, rejuvenated and taking in deep breaths of the ocean air, my mother and I walked along English Bay after spending the afternoon at the spa…Craig Addy’s Sound Spa. Ahhh. We had just been washed over with gentle rolling arpeggios and refreshed with lively sparkling explosions as we both melted into the pillows under the piano where Craig improvised for us a beautiful concert. This was a truly unique experience. I can’t wait for the next spa day!!

If you’re looking for someone who is light hearted, fun and committed to your development, PICK CRAIG! I had the pleasure of many private lessons with his gentle, creative spirit. He is patient and great at finding multiple ways to explain something if needed. He is great at delivering bite sized information so you have time to process and integrate what you’re learning. Give him a chance to enhance your experience with music, and get to chill with a beautiful human being…win-win!

The Power of Stories Re-created with Music

The Feed Your Soul event on Friday, November 8 once again amazed me. During these events, a group of 8 to 12 people, many of them strangers, come together for a vegan potluck and then to share stories which I have the honors of spontaneously re-creating in music. The first stories are tentative. This is a different […]
