Sound Massage Training
Learn how to use bronze bowls, crystal bowls, and tuning forks on the body for profound transformation.
Sound relaxes the body and mind through perception through the ears and helps to heal past traumas by interacting with the emotional standing wave patterns in the body and field.

Learn many simple and straightforward methods of working with the physical and energetic bodies to assist the most benevolent outcomes. Through extensive practice you will gain confidence in providing safe and effective transformation for your clients.
