FROM ANGELA – “Taking the Sound Healer certification program was a profound journey for me. I learned how to play a variety of instruments and how to coordinate their sounds together. Taking this course helped me to re-discover parts of myself that had long been buried. This Sound Healing course helped me facilitate ways to develop my personal sound healing skills so that I could share them with others. My path as a sound healer has only just begun and this course gave me the confidence I needed to develop it.”
FROM GAIL – ”Thank you so much for the wonderful Sound Healer Certification Class. I truly enjoyed every minute of it. It was so enjoyable to have different styles represented and stretched me out of my comfort zone.”
FROM JOSEPH – “The program was beautifully planned, and the venue felt compassionate and loving. The crystal bowl training was fun and relaxed, and I enjoyed learning the techniques of playing the gongs. Brandon and Natalie are truly an awesome team! I loved the deep meditation along with the instruments led by Rod, and I felt totally present in body and mind. The activation under the pyramid was moving and heartfelt. Thank you for an awesome experience!”
