We've been here all along. Offering sound healing training since 1999
Jul 10, 2025In a world where sound healing seems suddenly to be everywhere, gongs in yoga studios, crystal bowls in wellness centers, trainings sprouting on every corner, it can feel as if this is all something new. But for us, we've been cultivating our relationship with sound for a long, long time.
We’ve been here since 1977, when we first began offering sound healing instruments, long before most people had ever even heard the words “sound healing.” Since 1999, we’ve been training people to use sound with depth, care, and mastery.
Decades of working with thousands of students, instruments, and spaces have given us not just knowledge, but something rarer: wisdom that comes only from lived experience.
That authority comes not from following trends but from walking this path steadily, day by day, over nearly fifty years. In a field that is now noisy with claims and courses and shiny instruments, we stand as a reminder that sound is not a novelty, not a performance, not a quick fix, but a foundational aspect of being human, of living in resonance with the world.
This summer, we were invited to the Klanghaus in Switzerland, a new, beautifully conceived space entirely dedicated to sound. To stand in such a place, dedicated solely to what we have been practicing and teaching for decades, was deeply moving. We led a program there, sharing what we know about how sound awakens presence, opens perception, and restores harmony.
For us, Klanghaus was a sign of how the world is catching up. A sign that people are ready, finally, to hear what sound has to teach.
We’ve watched the culture change over these decades.
When we began, we often had to explain from scratch why someone might want a bowl or a gong. We saw people’s eyes widen the first time they experienced true resonance. We taught people how to listen, not just to notes or tones, but to the silence underneath, the subtle harmonies in their own bodies, the way the world responds when you approach it with care.
We have always believed that sound is more than a technique. It is a way of life. That’s why we called our foundational training Foundations of Sound Healing™, because it is exactly that: foundational.
It begins with intention and awareness. It is these two qualities that bring consciousness into what you do, that allow sound to become more than mechanical, that make it transformative. This has been true of everything we have ever done. Intention and awareness are what deepen your practice, ground your experience, and enable you to embody what you offer, to live and breathe consciousness in everything you do.
This is what we’ve cultivated, and helped others cultivate, all these years: the ability to bring sound and silence into alignment with the fullness of one’s being.
The words we return to again and again are Resonance & Radiance™. Resonance: the ability to meet what is, to harmonize with your surroundings rather than fight them. Radiance: the natural glow that comes from living in harmony with yourself and others, from allowing your own unique tone to ring clear and strong.
And this is the heart of sound healing. Not just learning how to strike a bowl, but how to let yourself be struck by life in a way that makes you more alive, more present, more in tune.
In a world where everyone now seems to be offering sound healing, it is easy to get lost in the noise. What we offer, and have been offering since long before this became popular, is a quiet depth. A lineage rooted in experience rather than in fashion. A way of working with sound that is grounded, embodied, and deeply respectful of its power.
When you’ve been immersed in something for nearly five decades, you see through the surface and into the essence. And that essence is simple:
Sound touches what words cannot. It awakens what has gone dormant. It reminds us of who and what we really are.
At the Klanghaus, and everywhere we go, we see how hungry people are for this. And it is our joy, after all these years, to continue sharing it. To help others find their own resonance and radiance. To offer instruments that truly sing, and trainings that truly transform.
We’ve been here all along, listening, learning, and holding the tone, and we’re honored to welcome you into this vast and ancient world of sound.
