Sound Bath Practitioner Training

$1500, for trainings in Austin.

Payment plans are available if you prefer not to pay in full upon booking. A deposit is required to secure your dates when using a payment plan, with the remaining balance due one week before your first training day.

For trainings outside of Austin, travel fees will apply.

There are currently several options for training locations:

1. In your home or business location (Austin area): This is the most common choice, often held in your living room or private workspace. We’ll need comfortable seating and enough open floor space to set up and practice with the instruments.

2. In a private studio at Sun Up Skin: This serene bungalow, located in Austin, is dedicated to holistic healers.

3. At your location outside of Austin: I’m open to traveling to locations outside of Austin, with rates adjusted to account for travel costs based on your specific location.

Yes! The training is customized to your personal goals and how you’re wanting to implement sound healing into your life and business. I’ve worked with hairstylists, massage therapists, yoga teachers, estheticians, energy healers, and meditation teachers. This training is not limited to those just wanting to do sound baths.

Before booking you can request to schedule a 30 minute phone call to discuss your goals, ask any questions you may have, and see if I’m the right fit for you. This allows me to connect with your intentions so that I can customize the training to your needs. A phone call is a chance for us to connect not a “discovery call or sales pitch”. There will never be any pressure to make a decision during the call or commit to the training upfront. I encourage you to take all the time you need to think about it and make your decision when it feels right for you.

This training is rooted in nervous-system awareness, trauma sensitivity, and relational safety.

It was created through years of direct facilitation, client work, and practitioner education, with a strong foundation in understanding how the nervous system responds to stress, overwhelm, and perceived threat. The training is informed by Polyvagal Theory; the science of safety, and is further inspired by the work of Deb Dana, LCSW, a clinician and consultant who specializes in applying Polyvagal Theory to trauma recovery and nervous-system regulation.

In this training, you’ll learn how to:

• Create sound bath experiences that support safety and grounding

• Avoid overstimulation and overwhelm, especially in sensitive nervous systems

• Read cues of regulation and dysregulation in both clients and yourself

• Pace sound, silence, and transitions intentionally

• Offer choice, consent, and supportive language throughout a session

We remain clearly within scope of practice. This training focuses on understanding the nervous system, how trauma can impact it, and what supports a sense of safety and regulation in a sound-based setting.

Sound baths are not a replacement for psychotherapy or trauma treatment provided by licensed mental health professionals. I do not teach this work as a substitute for trauma therapy. Rather, sound healing is presented as a complementary, supportive practice that may benefit individuals who are already in therapy, as well as those seeking gentle nervous-system support, relaxation, and regulation.

There is no singular lineage for trauma-informed sound healing.
This work does not exist within a single ancestral, yogic, or guru-based tradition.

My work emerged at the intersection of sound, nervous-system awareness, and years of client-led learning. My approach was shaped by what I saw was missing in the sound-healing space, particularly when it came to safety, pacing, consent, and trauma sensitivity. I teach from experience, ethics, and responsibility rather than hierarchy.

This training was designed and authored by me and is practice-derived rather than lineage-based.

The curriculum has been developed through:

• Lived experience and long-term facilitation

• Ongoing client work and observation

• Study of nervous-system regulation and trauma-sensitive principles

• Professional practice within wellness, therapeutic, and body-based settings

• Years of refining what supports safety, grounding, and regulation in real-world sessions

As such, this training is:

• Experience-informed

• Practice-led

• Trauma-informed and practitioner-developed

• Rooted in lived experience and direct facilitation

• Continuously refined through real-world application

Crystal singing bowls themselves are a relatively modern instrument, emerging in the late 20th century. There is no widely recognized lineage-based tradition specific to crystal bowl sound healing.

While some sound-healing education is offered within Kundalini yoga lineages, I am not affiliated with Kundalini practices or the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. My work does not draw from, reference, or align with those traditions. I believe in transparency, ethical practice, and honoring the voices of those who have come forward regarding harm within that lineage and abuse at the hands of Yogi Bhajan.

This training is intended for practitioners who value discernment, nervous-system awareness, and responsible facilitation and who are seeking an approach grounded in safety, integrity, and lived experience rather than inherited hierarchy.

I received my initial sound healing certification in 2020 in Los Angeles after completing a 2-day training. Following that training, I assisted in public sound bath events for over six months, supporting 4–6 sessions per month, and also assisted in two practitioner training cohorts.

I later completed a 12-week musical mentorship with another sound bath facilitator, which further supported my technical skills and confidence as a practitioner.

Within three months of my first training, I began offering my own private and public sound bath sessions. That hands-on facilitation of working directly with individuals and groups over time, became one of my greatest teachers. It helped clarify how I wanted to hold space, what felt ethical and supportive, and what was missing in existing models of sound bath facilitation.

While my early trainings and certification were not trauma-informed, they ultimately inspired me to seek out additional education, engage in ongoing self-study, and refine my approach through real-world practice. The gaps I experienced became the foundation for the trauma-informed, nervous system-aware work I now offer, and for the practitioner trainings I have since developed.

This training is not a replication of another teacher’s curriculum. It is a practice-led, experience-informed program shaped by 6 years of facilitation, continued learning, and a deep commitment to trauma informed safety, integration, and care.

Not at all. This training was created for intuitive, sensitive people. Many of whom have never touched a crystal bowl before joining.
We’ll explore simple music theory concepts, like harmonics and intervals to help you feel confident using sound intentionally.

You’ll be guided to trust your body, your intuition, and your deep listening.
Structure supports the process, but it never replaces your knowing.

No. All instruments are provided for use during your training.
You’ll have the opportunity to feel into different tools before deciding what resonates for you.
I also provide guidance on selecting instruments, where to purchase them, and what to start with based on your space and intentions.

All Ethereal Sound Alchemy trainings are offered in a private format. I do not host open-enrollment or public group trainings. Each training is scheduled individually and designed around the practitioner booking it. This structure is intentional.

Sound healing requires nuance, nervous system awareness, and personalized pacing. Teaching in a one-on-one environment allows me to focus fully on you, honor sensitivities, adapt in real time, and curate the training to support your learning style, goals, and scope of practice.

If you would like to train alongside a small team or a few colleagues, you are welcome to organize that group privately. I am happy to teach small, pre-formed groups, but I do not coordinate or advertise public group cohorts.

7 hours each day for a total of 14 hours combined with a 30 minute break for lunch each day.

Yes, a printed certificate of completion will be provided at the end of your final training day, and a PDF version can be emailed upon request. I believe in full transparency as a teacher and sound healing practitioner, so I’ve included some additional clarification below about certificates and their purpose.

Currently, there are no government-recognized organizations issuing accreditation for sound healing. Certificates serve as a way to honor your commitment, dedication, and achievement in completing your training. They are not required to practice as a “sound healer,” nor are there any formal regulations regarding offering sound healing as a service. Some training programs may choose to register or affiliate with independent accrediting boards; however, this is optional and not required for offering sound healing training or becoming a practitioner.

In some cases, certification may be useful or necessary for the following reasons:

• Employer reimbursement: Some companies provide tuition reimbursement for continuing education and training programs, often requiring a certificate of completion for qualification.

• Yoga and meditation studios: Studios may request proof of certification as part of their hiring requirements.

• Personal confidence: Many individuals feel an added sense of confidence after completing a certified training program.
