The Sound Healing Academy has provided professional sound healing training since 2003, with students and practitioners in more than 70 countries worldwide.
The OM Shoppe & Spa and Sound Healing Academy have been training and graduating sound healing students together in Sarasota since 2018. Our immersive workshops combine in-person experiential learning with Sound Healing Academy's structured online education.
This gives students the opportunity to experience hands-on learning with professional sound healing instruments while continuing their education through structured coursework outside of the classroom.
Whether your goal is personal enrichment, adding sound to an existing wellness practice or developing a professional sound healing practice of your own, there is a pathway for you.
Level One Sound Healing Certification
Your Foundation in Integral Sound Healing
If you're new to professional sound healing, Level One is your starting point.
Our Level One immersive workshops introduce the foundations of Integral Sound Healing and give you hands-on experience using therapeutic sound intentionally.
Depending upon the workshop format, you may study multiple instruments or focus more deeply on a specific modality such as crystal singing bowls or tuning forks.
Level One programs are designed to help you build confidence with the instruments while developing a strong foundation for continued study.
Not Sure Which Sound Healing Course Is Right for You?

- Choose Crystal Singing Bowl Training if you're especially drawn to quartz crystal singing bowls and want focused, hands-on instruction.
- Choose Tuning Fork Training if you want to explore a precise and versatile approach to therapeutic sound and vibration.
- Choose Level Two Diploma Training if you've completed the prerequisites and are ready to move toward a more advanced professional practice.

Why Train at The OM Shoppe & Spa?
Learn in a Space Built Around Sound
This isn't a hotel meeting room where a few instruments were brought in for the weekend.
The OM Shoppe & Spa is a working sound healing center, professional instrument showroom, holistic spa, education space and Music Medicine venue.
Students learn surrounded by crystal singing bowls, therapeutic sound instruments and the environment where these practices are actually used.
That means you have opportunities to hear, compare and experience professional-quality sound healing instruments as part of your education.
Students enrolled in applicable Sound Healing Academy Certification or Diploma programs also gain access to the Academy's online learning portal and may receive exclusive OM Shoppe savings to support their studies and instrument needs.

Hands-On Education Matters
You can learn quite a bit online. But sound is experiential.
You need to hear the difference between instruments. Feel vibration. Practice technique. Listen to what happens when sounds interact. Make mistakes. Ask questions. Try again.
Our immersive workshops are designed to give you that hands-on experience while supporting it with structured education you can continue after the class is over.
That's especially valuable if you've ever found yourself watching videos about sound healing while wondering:
"But am I actually doing this correctly?"
Come practice with us.
Already Own a Crystal Singing Bowl or considering one?
Learn How to Actually Use It
Are you ready to learn more about Crystal Singing Bowls for your personal use? If you already have one or are thinking about buying one this 2 hour introduction class is a great place to get started.
Our Playing Crystal Singing Bowls for Personal Wellness class is an ongoing monthly two-hour instructional workshop designed to help you build confidence and discover practical ways to use crystal singing bowls in your personal wellness, meditation and self-care practice.
Each month this easy gathering gives you an opportunity to deepen your relationship with sound. Topics may include relaxation and self-care, chakra balancing, intention-setting, vocal toning, grounding, mindfulness, creative visualization and other practical ways to work with crystal singing bowls.
During the two-hour class, you'll receive hands-on instruction, time to practice, opportunities to ask questions, teaching materials and a guided crystal singing bowl meditation. You can attend a single class or return each month to continue exploring and developing your skills.
This class is also a wonderful introduction if you're curious about sound healing but aren't ready to commit to a professional Sound Healing Academy certification program.
