 FAQs

  • 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…
    but the heart of this training is about presence, not performance.

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

  • Yes.
    Everything in this training is rooted in nervous system awareness, trauma sensitivity, and relational safety.
    We don’t push. We don’t bypass.
    We move slowly, intentionally, and with great care.
    You’ll also learn how to create safe, grounding sound baths for others, without overstimulating sensitive systems (including your own).

  • Nope.
    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.

  • Both options are available!
    You can book a private 1:1 training or gather a small group of friends, colleagues, or co-healers.
    Trainings are intentionally small so everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.

    Group trainings are customizable and can be a great opportunity to train your team on integrating sound healing into their treatments or offering trainings as a part of your holistic wellness retreat.

  • The one day training is 6 hours and the two day training is 12 hours.

  • 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. Please take all the time you need to think about it and make your decision when it feels right for you.

  • 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 (such as a salon or spa). We’ll need comfortable seating and enough open floor space to set up and practice with the instruments. If you’re unsure whether your space will work, feel free to share pictures in your request form.

    2. In a private studio at Sun Up Skin: This serene bungalow, located in Austin, is dedicated to holistic healers. For this option, I will factor in the studio rental cost, which will affect the overall training price.

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

  • When training is held in your home:

    • The 2-day training is $1,500.

    • The 1-day training is $750.

    When studio rental is required:

    *Rates may vary based on the cost of studio rental. The approximate rates are $925 for the 1-day training and $1,850 for the 2-day training.

    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.

  • 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.

    Once I receive your form you can expect a response within 24 hours confirming the dates you requested and answering any other questions you might have.

    “My sound healing training with Amanda was absolutely magical and life-changing. I went into the training not really knowing what to expect, but I knew she had poured her heart and soul into creating this training and I trusted her wholeheartedly to be my guide. Over the course of the 2 days, I went from being a complete beginner to having the skills and confidence to lead a sound healing session on my own! I attribute that to Amanda’s intuitive nature and her ability to hold space for her students in such a safe and loving way. I could tell she catered the instruction and pacing to my needs and abilities which made me feel truly seen and supported. I loved that she encouraged me to be creative and experimental—that there’s no one formula to creating a soundbath and the most important thing is to honor your intuition and unique gifts! The hours of hands-on practice I got with the instruments (with 1-on-1 instruction from Amanda) was also an invaluable part of the training that I think sets this apart from any other. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had Amanda as my teacher. I would recommend this training to anyone who feels called to the practice of sound healing and wishes to take a heart-centered, intuitive approach like what Amanda offers in her training. With this solid foundation under my belt, I feel so ready and excited to take the leap into my journey as a sound healer!”

    “I had been interested in learning how to do sound healing for quite some time, but I didn’t really know where to start. After some research I came across Amanda’s social media and website and I was immediately drawn to her and was excited to see that she was offering sound healing training. I signed up right away, and took the training a couple of weeks later. All I can say is WOW!!! Amanda is such a sweet, loving and gentle soul that I immediately connected with, and she made me feel extremely comfortable especially because I had anxiety about learning something new. Her training blew my mind as it was Jam-packed with tons of information, and she made sure I understood everything and how I felt about it. She gave me the in’s, outs, ups, downs and everything there is to know about the practice. Additionally, she taught me how to use all of the bowls/instruments correctly, and let me practice on my own until I felt comfortable. I had such an amazing time, and I highly recommend Amanda if you want to learn sound healing”

    “I found Amanda’s sound healing at just the right time in my life. Her approach is friendly and relaxed and she creates a totally intimate and safe space to play and practice with sound healing instruments. Not only does she fully explain the why of sound healing she explains the how, diving into the science behind sound healing which was really beneficial for me. It made the teachings tangible and something I could connect to. There are so many healing practices and practitioners out there, Amanda’s approach comes right from her heart - exactly the place that healing starts and ends.”

    “I met Amanda at a holistic esthetics retreat back in May and had the pleasure of experiencing her sound bath. It was my first sound bath and I was whisked away on a healing journey for my mind, body and soul. During the retreat she graciously allowed me to play her crystal bowls. I felt connected to it right away and she was incredibly helpful in showing me proper technique, the theory and science behind sound healing, plus other sound bath instruments. Amanda encouraged me to continue with the singing bowls in my craft. I really didn’t think too much into it until a few weeks after the retreat, something kept calling me back to those crystal bowls! I reached back out to Amanda to inquire about getting a set for myself and I’m so glad I did. She assisted me in getting my own set and was there for me every step of the way. She even included one of the coolest crystal figures in my package, a black obsidian raven. I love when small business owners put that extra special touch in everything they do and Amanda did just that. She continues to mentor me through my journey and I hope I get to experience her ethereal sound bath again someday. Thank you Amanda!”

    “I’m so thankful and enormously grateful for Amanda for being a big influence on adding sound healing into my esthetics career! In May 2022 Amanda was a guest speaker at a esthetician retreat that I went to. I was really ecstatic that she was there, I’ve been following her on social for awhile and I couldn’t believe she took time out of her life traveled to Texas from California to teach us how to be sound healers. I didn’t know it was even a thing that could have be combined with esthetics. She was so gentle with allowing you to ask questions and incredibly intricate in the way she taught. I learned a lot about how the nervous system was a huge role in sound baths and the brainwaves. Amanda was even so kind and very trusting to let us practice on her instruments, to get a feel of how each instrument as a specific role and find out what our favorite instrument was. Ever since this and practicing sound healing with facials, it has opened up a piece of my heart that I can share and gift to others with just the simple act of sound and hold the space for them.”

    “I left my sound healing training euphoric and energized! I highly recommend Amanda for sound healing training. I looked into other trainings, then someone recommended Amanda to me. I intuitively knew it would resonate with what I desired. She caters the training to what you need and your background. I love that it was a one on one training, and you get plenty of time to play and experience all the healing instruments. I personally love taking notes, so the workbook she provides is so abundant and a great reference for future. Amanda will also be there for you along your journey after your training. I had questions for her about a gong I was interested in buying and she took the time to help me out and guide with that as well. Sound healing is needed more than ever in my opinion, so if you’re called to it, consider this training. You will be well taken care of, versed in the science, in a lovely space by a genuine intuitive talented sound healer! Thank you Amanda!”

    “I participated in the Sound Healer course. Amanda takes a lot of time and has prepared everything wonderfully. Nothing was left to chance and everything in her studio is thought out to the smallest detail. I felt so welcome. Also the preparations for the course, the wonderfully prepared workbook that is packed with all kinds of knowledge, is made with a lot of love. Amanda has a wonderful eye for the small details and is so attentive and warm. It was so much fun to learn from her. I am very much looking forward to my first Sound Bath and all the things Amanda teaches me. Thank you so much”

    I had the wonderful opportunity of attending a 3- day sound healing retreat with Amanda. She was so warm and welcoming. I learned so much! I now have a much better understanding of musical instruments and how to incorporate them into my healing sessions with my clients. I would strongly recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking to learn sound healing. Hands down the best sound bath I've ever experienced!

    “This experience was better than I could've hoped for. Amanda is incredible! She is incredibly accommodating, very knowledgable in what she is teaching, encouraging and very grounded in her own practice which I find to be very important as a fellow practitioner in the health and wellness industry. Amanda was also very attentive in listening to what I was saying which is SO important in a student/teacher relationship. I am confident in bringing sound healing to my yoga studio in Fargo, ND, with all that I learned from a teacher who greatly exceeded my expectations. If I could do it all over again I would. Do not hesitate to take the Sound Healing Practitioner training, you will be so thankful that you did! I am forever grateful to Amanda.”
