Tell me more about the new online virtual training!

It's finally here! After years of people reaching out from all over the world, I've finally created an online only training that makes learning the Sonic Being Method accessible from anywhere on the planet that has internet! 

​

The remote program includes the live online classes and then student's can carry on at your own pace through the pre-recorded video modules that take you on an exploration through the most popular instruments used in sound healing. This includes playing tips, session design, marketing and business guidance, instrument care, and so much more. 

​

It is best to own some instruments so you can follow along with the playing tips in real-time. If not, then you can use the videos to help you choose which instruments you would like to invest in first.  You will have access to the training portal for 120 days from the commencement of your session. This will allow you to circle back when you need to review the material. You may extend your access to the portal after 120 days for a nominal fee. 

​

You can still earn your certification!
Please follow the regular certification requirements from where you live. Once you've completed all the tasks, it will be time to submit your documents to Sonic Being for review.
