Client Love
“The Academy of Sound Therapy is a brilliantly focused, comprehensive and well-rounded sound therapy practitioner course. Helen is incredibly knowledgeable and tailors the course to your interests.
This course has all the resources along with true heart and care. I came away buoyed up with confidence built on solid foundations. The resources are world class - both the instruments available to play and get to know - and the written work sheets. You will be immersed in gongs, drums, percussion instruments, tuning forks, crystal and Himalayan bowls - everything is on hand.
This course is a dream, a treat and a real privilege: I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”
