Sound Wisdom exists because nothing like it did before. This program was created to fill a gap in the world of sound healing education—a gap I personally experienced. I’ve spent years studying with master teachers, diving deeply into individual instruments, practices, and modalities. But I never found a program that brought all of this together in one cohesive, transformative experience.

Here’s what makes Sound Wisdom truly unique:

• Comprehensive Instrumental Training: No other program teaches Crystal Singing Bowls, Himalayan Singing Bowls, Gongs, Frame Drums, Tuning Forks, and Sanskrit Mantra in such depth.

• Multimodal Approach: Beyond sound, this program integrates body-based practices, breathwork, meditation techniques, and the expressive arts for complete healing experiences.

• On-Body and Off-Body Techniques: Gain the skills to work with private clients and group settings, offering both direct and indirect applications of sound.

• Exquisite Teaching Methods: Develop advanced teaching techniques to create, theme, and lead impactful sessions and classes.

This program is my life’s passion. I’ve carefully crafted it from years of study, practice, and teaching, refining it into something I’ve never seen offered anywhere else. Every detail is intentional, every module designed to empower you—not just as a sound healer, but as a leader in this field.

Sound Wisdom isn’t just a course. It’s a legacy of deep learning and transformational practice, created for those who want to offer something truly exceptional. I believe in it because it’s the program I wish had existed when I started, and I’ve poured everything I’ve learned—and continue to learn—into making it the most comprehensive sound healing training available.

One of the most important aspects of Sound Wisdom is that it’s designed to make you fully self-sufficient. This isn’t a program where you’ll finish and feel like you’re missing pieces or need to keep investing in endless upsells to become proficient. Everything you need to excel as a sound healer is included here—comprehensive, detailed, and complete.

Here’s what sets this approach apart:

• No Hidden Add-Ons or Upsells: All the knowledge, techniques, and tools are included in your course. You’ll walk away with a complete skill set—whether you choose an individual instrument training or the full certification.

• Empowerment Through Tools: The real magic of this training lies in the tools themselves. You’ll learn not only how to use sound instruments but also how to integrate body, breath, and mind practices. These tools are designed to give you answers, guidance, and healing long after the course is complete.

• Self-Sufficiency: Once you’ve completed the training, you won’t need anything else to move forward as a sound healer. You’ll have everything you need to offer transformative experiences for yourself, your clients, and your community.

• Independent Mastery: While I do offer an optional mentorship program for those who want personalized support and refinement, this isn’t a requirement. The training is intentionally crafted so that you’ll be fully equipped to move forward on your own.

This program is designed to give you complete authority and confidence in your practice. The tools you learn become your guides moving forward. You’ll learn how to take your challenges, your questions, and your needs directly to the tools themselves—whether it’s sound, breath, movement, or meditation.

At Sound Wisdom, my goal is not to make you dependent on me. It’s to empower you with the tools and knowledge to be your own authority, to trust your practice, and to offer it with clarity and authenticity. This training is your foundation for a lifelong journey in sound healing.

You can progress at your own pace with lifetime access to all materials.

Since the programs are self-paced, you can take as much or as little time as you need.

• While it’s possible to complete the Big 6 Training material in a few months, most students take 1–1.5 years to fully integrate the practices. Those taking Individual Instrument modules could complete the training in 2-10 weeks.

• Lifetime access ensures you can revisit and expand your knowledge whenever you like.

The self-paced program is primarily independent. However: You can book private sessions with Shannon for personalized guidance. The 12-month mentorship program is available for those seeking deeper, ongoing support.

All graduates of Sound Wisdom are free to use the following designations based on personal preference and the focus of their practice:

• Core Designations (Applicable to All):

  • "Sound Bath Facilitator"

• Mix and Match Titles:
  Combine terms to reflect your unique focus, such as:

  While the term "healing" or "healer" is commonly recognized and widely used in this field, it’s essential to be mindful of language. As practitioners, you cannot claim to "heal" others directly. Instead, focus on facilitating or guiding sound experiences that support relaxation, balance, and well-being.

• Designations for Yoga Teachers (Additional Certification Required):

  • "Sound Yoga Teacher"

  • For those completing the Yoga Alliance requirements:
    "Certified Advanced Nada Yoga Teacher (500-Hour)"
