About Sound Wellness

This ancient flute has been dated at between 40,000 and 60,000 years old. We likely had music before we could speak with words!

Humanity is now undergoing an unprecedented period of evolution of consciousness. And as we evolve, so do the tools we use for health and healing.

Sound is humanity’s most ancient healer.

This bone flute is over 40,000 years old – many believe that it predates our use of language. It is likely that we had music before we could speak with words.

Modern science is now documenting the human being’s deep and intimate wiring to respond to sound. Sound was one of our first healers for good reason. And even though the benefits have been confirmed by science, none of the practitioner associations currently recognize sound healing, or sound therapy as an accepted modality.

Sound Wellness has taken a giant step forward to change that!

Evolution

We have created a new modality called Sound Wellness. Sound Wellness is a holistic modality that uses techniques based on sound and music to bring your body, mind, emotions and spirit back into harmony. It is from this place of harmony that healing takes place. And it is from this place that you can maintain and support your health, prevent illness and extend the quality of your life.

The methods used by Sound Wellness Practitioners connect with the body’s innate ability to recognize, incorporate, transmit and respond to sound. 

In Canada, and in fact throughout most of the world, the fields of Sound Healing, Sound Therapy and the use of Specialized Music designed for healing have had no standardized training that offers certification at a level of verifiable competence. Until now.

Sound Wellness Practitioner Training is a certification program of verified competency of the practitioner. To that end, we have created the Sound Wellness Institute. The role of the Institute is two-fold. First to ensure that programs that we offer stand up to verifications – not only of content, but of competencies of those people who are using Sound Wellness, whether alone, or combined with other modalities.  And second to gain recognition by the professional associations.

Understanding Certification

There are 3 different categories of certification – 1) completion, 2) achievement, and 3) competency.

For years, we have offered “Certificates of Completion” for our programs. It means just what it says – you have attended the program, and have been engaged in the exercises. Engagement has never been a problem for us. Our participants are fully enthralled in our programs. Captivated by the power of Sound and Music. For many other course providers though, this is merely a Certificate of Participation. Simply attend for the 2 hours, or 3 days, or whatever the course length is, and you receive a certificate. It may look great on the wall, but for the most part, they are simply an acknowledgement of having completed the program. They won’t help you get insurance, and they don’t provide any legal protection.

The next level of certification is for Achievement. A high school or university diploma is a Certificate of achievement. You must have first attended an instructional program, and then write an exam that tests your knowledge. It doesn’t test your ability to apply what you have learned though. I have worked with people who are brilliant – they know the concepts, but they can’t apply them. And so a certificate of achievement, while significantly stronger than a certificate of attendance, still doesn’t ensure that you are qualified.

The highest level is a Certificate of Competency. Every practitioner of a recognized modality, such as Reiki, Healing Touch, Massage Therapy, and so on, is familiar with this. Specific training is required. Followed by practical application of the methods learned. Followed by an independent verification of the skills and knowledge.

Even the programs themselves, and the instructors, are verified by an independent auditor (or in our case a team of auditors) to ensure the content is appropriate, complete, and of the highest standard and that the instructors are fully competent to teach the material. This is the only certification that guarantees the practitioner is fully capable of delivering an effective session by skilfully applying the tools in a manner that supports the health and wellbeing of their client.

Over the past year, we have updated all of our programs to offer a verified competency certification as a Sound Wellness Practitioner.

This is something that’s very unique. We are the only program in Canada that will be doing this. And we’ve only found one other on the planet that even comes close to this level of certification for sound healing.

We’re currently working with some of the largest regulatory authorities in North America to get our programs reviewed and accepted within them.

And this is second role of the Sound Wellness Institute – to act as liaison with governing bodies to have Sound Wellness accepted as a recognized, regulated modality.

These are very exciting times for us.

A New Vision

Imagine a world where your natural healing response is stimulated holistically; where your emotions are calm, your mind focuses easily, your spirit connects freely and you radiate health!

Sound Wellness was created to support this vision of holistic health. Sound Wellness is a safe, effective way for people to create health, wholeness, balance and harmony in their life.

At Sound Wellness, we view ourselves as partners with our clients and the community.  By providing programs and experiences with sound and music, we help practitioners incorporate Sound Wellness within their practice, so that they can better serve the needs of their clients, while supporting their own health and wellbeing.

With Sound Wellness, we can work together to bring the vision of a healthy, harmonious world into reality.

About Sound Wellness

Our ancestors knew sound was one of the most powerful tools at their disposal. They had great reverence and respect for its power, but over the past century, their practices have largely been forgotten.

Today, neuroscientists have re-discovered the deep impact of music and sound. Many studies have documented the neural cocktail of hormones released by our nervous system as a response to sound and music.

This is very good news.

It’s a proven stress buster – no matter what’s going on in your life.

You’ll Feel better – You’ll Sleep better – and You’ll enjoy better health.

Your relationships will be stronger, physically and emotionally.

And one of the best things – it helps you Re-discover joy – it always has because music is the language of your heart and soul.

Sound Wellness is all about well-being.

I would be out of integrity if I didn’t mention the biggest health challenge facing every one of us.

We’re STRESSED! And most of us don’t know it. Have you noticed that stress has become a ‘4-letter-word’? We don’t talk about it, and most of us won’t acknowledge it.

Even with the enormous advances we have experienced over the past 200 years, people are suffering from more illness than they ever have. The future of health, wellness and healing belongs in the hands of our holistic healers and practitioners, and in holistic healing, as it has since ancient times.

Our programs are at the forefront of education in sound healing and sound therapy, taught with the perfect blend of science and mysticism.

Whether you are looking for support for yourself, or you’d like to add sound healing to your practice, Sound Wellness has what you need.

Have fun exploring.
