Sound Infused Therapies

This course may be described as a harmonious symphony of well orchestrated healing tunes, vibrations and instruments. Sound frequency is evident in all of life. Latest research confirms Einstein’s illusive wave theory, as ‘music of the cosmos’. Sound frequencies emanate and permeate throughout existence, communicating in a language that is utilized with this healing approach.

To put it simply, you learn to infuse sound vibration into hands-on massage techniques.

Tools range from the power of the human voice to musical instruments and other sounding bodies, such as 7-metal vessels, crystal bowls, and tuning forks. The resonance created with these tools can measurably improve human immune function, lower heart rate and blood pressure, soothe pain in cancer patients, and drastically reduce stress levels. Indeed, stress dissipates to such a tremendous degree that the body becomes a perfect receptacle of deep healing.

Whether used as a stand-alone modality or in concert with any hands-on method, everything you will learn in this densely packed course will not only change your perspective on massage therapy, wellness and healing, but also give you a very unique selection of tools to enrich any future session for your clients and enhance self-healing techniques.

What you take from this course is exceptionally adaptable and can be utilized in any setting and for any purpose. It can be combined with an endless list of other modalities, such as spa, beauty and wellness treatments, as well as clinical massage, and many more; making this a highly sought after skill. Clients get instantly ‘hooked’ once they have experienced sound as part of their sessions. And why not add another dimension to your labor of love, to increase the value of your work, not just for the client, but also your own well-being as the therapist.
