My Background
“The Gong has forever changed me, leading me on a journey of awakening, and uncovering my true passion: to share the healing sounds of the Gong with all those willing to listen."
Wayne Marto, Gong Master
I’m a husband of 32 years, a proud father of two incredible sons, and a seasoned businessman. I'm also the founder and Gong Master of Beneficial Sound—a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting wellness of mind, body, and soul through the transformative power of sound and vibration.
Growing up in a musical family, I was surrounded by instruments from a young age, exploring a wide range of instruments, from bass guitar to drums. But in 2012, when I first heard the sound of a Gong, something shifted. I knew instantly—this was an instrument unlike any other.
The Key to Controlling My Own Anxiety
I’ve always been deeply sensitive and have wrestled with anxiety for much of my life. Yet, the first time I experienced the Gong, its powerful tones swept me away, dissolving layers of emotional tension. I emerged from that meditation with a profound sense of renewal and clarity, like a doorway to new beginnings had opened.
I was captivated. The Gong’s resonance stirred something ancient and wise within me, and I began studying Gong Meditation with great enthusiasm—devouring books, CDs, DVDs, and anything I could find. It wasn’t long before I purchased my first Paiste Gong and began playing regularly, discovering a healing path I had unknowingly been seeking for years.
A Passion I Can Share
Driven by a deep calling to share the healing power of the Gong, I spent the next year studying extensively under Kundalini Gong Master Mehtab Benton. With growing confidence and a sense of purpose, I began offering live Gong Meditations at yoga studios and wellness centers throughout the Pacific Northwest.
By the end of 2019, I had played over 400 live events—each one a unique and powerful journey. Time and again, I witnessed profound transformations in participants, including those facing cancer, chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, and emotional hardship.
Their heartfelt feedback affirms what I felt from the very beginning: the Gong is far more than a musical instrument—it is a profoundly transformative force for healing, renewal, and inner peace.
“Wayne’s Gong Meditations are wonderful. His talent, authenticity, passion and intention set a foundation for an incredible experience. What a lovely gift for us all.”

“There are experiences in your life that both inspire you and touch something that changes you forever. Wayne’s Gong Meditation was one of those experiences for me. I was swept away by the sound of the gongs into deep relaxation and release.”

The Silver Lining
Then came COVID-19. With in-person events on hold, I was faced with a choice—and an unexpected opportunity. The pause created space to reimagine how I could share this work, and from that space, the FreeQuency Method was born: an online, frequency-based stress release program that brings the healing power of the Gong to you—anytime, anywhere.
I created this platform because I want you to experience the same emotional release and transformation that I and so many others have found through sound. That’s why I’m offering you a 7-day free trial—a chance to discover how the FreeQuency Method can help dissolve fear, reduce anxiety, and bring you back to a place of peace, balance, and well-being.
I hope you’ll take advantage of this gift and begin your own healing journey today.
