Accredited Sound Practitioner Diploma

I’m delighted to offer this Accredited Sound  Practitioner Diploma, designed to help you harness the powerful healing potential of sound, vibration and frequency.

Accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), this course reflects my commitment to delivering high-quality professional training in a supportive and hands-on learning environment.

Drawing on several years of experience working as a sound therapist, I share both practical techniques and a deeper understanding of how sound can be used to promote relaxation, balance energy and support overall wellbeing.

This training gives you the knowledge, confidence and practical experience to begin using sound therapy in your own practice or incorporate it into your existing holistic treatments.

Discover the Power of Sound Healing

This Accredited Sound Practitioner Diploma, held in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, is designed to give you both the knowledge and practical experience needed to confidently work with sound as a therapeutic tool. Over two immersive training days, you will explore a wide range of sound healing instruments, learn how to guide powerful sound bath experiences and discover techniques using tuning forks and Tibetan bowls that can be used both for personal wellbeing and with clients.

Sound has been used for centuries as a powerful tool for healing, relaxation and transformation. The gentle vibrations and frequencies produced by instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs and tuning forks can help calm the nervous system, balance the body’s energy and guide people into a deeply restorative state of relaxation.

Whether you are looking to begin a new holistic therapy, expand your existing treatments, or simply deepen your understanding of sound healing, this course offers a supportive and inspiring learning experience.

Course Structure

The Sound Practitioner diploma training is delivered in two parts: home study theory and two days of practical in-person training.

After booking, you will receive your course manual by email. This allows you to study the theory at your own pace. At the end of the manual you will complete a short questionnaire which must be returned before attending the practical training days.

The practical training then takes place over two immersive days, giving you plenty of time to learn, practise and feel confident using each instrument and technique.
