Sound Healing Foundations:

A 3-day foundational training in the art

  • The science and philosophy behind sound healing — frequency, resonance, entrainment, and the vagus nerve
  • Contraindications and safety practices for working with clients
  • Crystal singing bowls: types, care, and proper playing technique
  • Himalayan bowls, gongs, drums, and chimes: history, technique, and hands-on practice
  • Ethics, professionalism, and the business side of offering sound healing
  • How to structure and lead a group sound bath
  • Student-led sound bath for invited guests
  • A closing ceremony celebrating your completion
