  • 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 a few different options for the location of the training:

    1) In the comfort of your own home or business location in the Austin area. This is the most common way my trainings are held. Typically in the living room of your home or in your private work space (salon/spa/etc). All we need is comfortable seating and enough empty floor space to set-up and practice on all of the instruments. If you’re not sure your space will work feel free to send pictures of your space in your form request.

    2) In a private studio space at Sun up Skin, a peaceful bungalow for holistic healers located in Austin. I will need to factor in the cost of studio rental so the training price will vary with this option.

    3) I’m open to traveling to you if you are outside of the Austin area. Prices for trainings outside of the Austin area will vary as I will need to factor in the cost of travel depending on the situation.

  • When the training is held in your own home:

    The 2-day training is $1100. The one day training is $700.

    When a studio rental is necessary:

    *Rates may vary depending on the cost of studio rental. The one day training will be approximately $875. The two day training will be approximately $1500.

    Payment plans are available if not paying in full upon booking.

    A deposit is required to book your dates when choosing a payment plan option. The remaining balance is due a week before your first training day.

    Sliding scale options are also available in an effort to make the training accessible for anyone currently experiencing financial hardship. Please contact me for more details.

  • Yes, for small groups of around 5-10 people. 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.

  • Yes, a printed certificate of completion will be provided for you at the end of your final training day and a pdf version will be emailed to you if needed. I believe in full transparency as a teacher and sound healing practitioner so I have added some clarification below surrounding certificates and their purpose.

    There are no government-recognized organizations that issue accreditation for sound healing. Certificates are provided as a way to celebrate the completion, dedication, and achievement of your investment in training. They are not required in order to be considered a “sound healer” and there are no regulations as far as providing sound healing as a service to the public. So while a sound healer training program may be registered or accredited through an independent accrediting board, it is still not a requirement to offer a sound healer training program or to become a sound healing practitioner.

    In some instances certification may be required or useful for the following reasons:

    To request education/training cost reimbursement from your employer. Some companies offer tuition reimbursement for continued education and training programs. They typically require a training program where certification is provided to qualify for reimbursement.

    Yoga and meditation studios may request proof of certification before hiring you.

    As a personal preference, some individuals find a sense of confidence after completing a training program that provides a certificate.

    “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.”
