who is this training for?

  • Deepen your classes by weaving sound and vibration into movement, meditation, and relaxation practices. Sound healing offers your students a profound way to ground, release, and restore.

  • Expand your toolkit with powerful sound-based methods that support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and integration. Sound can create breakthroughs where words alone may not reach.

  • Take your practice beyond silence by exploring sound as a gateway to deeper states of awareness, stillness, and expanded consciousness.

  • Complement your healing modalities—whether energy work, bodywork, or plant medicine—with sound frequencies that amplify balance, flow, and transformation.

  • Discover new dimensions of creativity by using sound not only for performance but also as a transformative and healing art form.

  • For the curious minds who want to understand the science of resonance, frequency, and vibration—and how to translate them into practical, life-changing experiences.

  • If you love exploring new skills and perspectives, this training will give you both practical tools and profound insights you can carry into every aspect of life.

  • Whether you hold circles, retreats, or group gatherings, sound healing allows you to create safe, connective, and powerful spaces for collective transformation.

you are not the voice in your head, you are what listens.

Even before our eyes are formed in the womb, our nervous system begins to connect through sound. Our first relationship with the world is vibrational — and deepening this relationship is like opening a door to the mystery of life, expanding our perception beyond words into a richer way of experiencing being.

This training is designed as a holistic journey into sound healing: combining theoretical foundations, hands-on exploration of instruments and voice, and practical applications for both personal practice and professional guidance. You will learn how sound influences the nervous system and brainwave states, how to create transformative soundscapes, and how to hold space with confidence and presence.

Whether you are curious about the science of frequencies, drawn to the spiritual and artistic dimensions of sound, or inspired to guide others through immersive sound journeys, this course gives you the tools and embodied experience to bring sound healing into your life and share it with the world.

Join me in this intimate and supportive setting, where you will explore, practice, and grow — and complete your path as a certified sound healing practitioner.
