Testimonials
From Newly Certified Students
Barbara is a talented professional and experienced sound practitioner. I am grateful to have had the experience of the advanced sound healing therapy practitioner training, sound bath with a variety of instruments, and vibroacoustic bed experience with Barbara. I’m a musician and play a few different types of instruments and wanted to be able to play them in a meditative way that I could smoothly transition from instrument to instrument. I not only feel more confident in my abilities to share sound in a meditative way, I have so much more knowledge on the scientific aspects of sound on the body. I have experienced other local sound sessions that were horrible having people facilitating without even a basic grasp in music theory creating so much dissonance that actually gave me a headache and anxiety from the extreme lack of harmony among musical notes. There is so much more to sound healing then buying a cheep set of crystal bowls from Amazon and playing them like a “toddler banging on pots and pans for the first time” lol If you have experienced a sound bath that was less than good or want to learn hands on from an experienced pro I highly recommend Barbara you will not be disappointed.
I had the profound pleasure of taking the Sound Healing Therapy Certification with Barbara Spaulding, and it was a life-changing experience. Initially, I made the mistake of choosing a well-known school close to home, only to find that their program lacked depth. They informed me that I had to complete two levels of certification before I could practice sound healing professionally which was unfortunately not true.
Feeling disillusioned, I reached out to Barbara with many questions, hoping to find a more comprehensive program. Barbara's patience and willingness to address all my concerns immediately set her apart.
Barbara's program is extraordinary. It not only prepares you to select instruments that truly resonate with you, but it also includes an unparalleled Business 101 training. This unique component equips you with all the tools necessary to start your own business—a feature that is simply nonexistent in other programs.
Barbara Spaulding's Sound Healing Therapy Certification stands alone in its excellence. Her dedication and holistic approach ensure that you are fully equipped to embark on a professional sound healing journey immediately upon completion. Do not get caught up in "well-known" schools with fancy marketing. Traveling to train with Barbara is worth its weight in gold. Choose Barbara Spaulding and experience a truly transformative education that will set you up for success.
Last month, I completed Barbara’s live, online sound healing training and most recently her in-person 2-day advanced sound healing training weekend. I am beyond thrilled that I signed up for the extra two days of hands-on training and coaching because her unique perspective on sound healing opened up my eyes and ears to moving beyond just the typical sound healing tools and instruments that most everyone is using today.
On day 1, I had so much fun trying out the great selection of sound healing instruments she had. On day 2, Barbara helped me put together a sound bath plan with the instruments that I already had and then walked-through the plan with me. I just love that I left there with a framework that I could explore after I got home.
Barbara is a gem! She’s so generous with sharing her knowledge and skills. She’s a unique and skilled sound healer, as well as a great teacher and coach. I had researched various online trainings and I chose Barbara’s because after thoroughly reading her website, I felt her program was going to be a perfect blend of learning about the art & science behind sound healing. I am so grateful for my time with Barbara and I feel blessed to have her as my teacher.
Thank you, Barbara!As a Reiki practitioner and a new sound therapist, I chose to work with Barbara because she's been a sound therapist for over 10 plus years and I could feel her positive intention the moment I chatted with her! I just took her Sound Therapist's training course and I'm really glad I chose her over the other therapists I saw online. She took me on a "journey" to the subconscious with an array of instruments that were similar to instruments that could be traced back to ancient ancestorial ceremonies! Barbara's passion and love for sound therapy shines bright and you'll feel it the moment you meet her. Do your research before picking a sound healer as many "new age" sound healers only play a few instruments like the Crystal & Tibetan bowls for an hour which limits the experience. Choose Barbara and you'll go on a healing magic carpet ride that leads you back to YOU<3 Thank you for everything Barbara!
The Sound Healing course was just the right mix of science and time with the instruments. The science behind this healing modality was well-researched and effectively lends credibility to this healing work. Instruction about the huge repository of instruments was helpful and then actually getting to use the instruments was perfect for getting a feel for what resonates with the healer and therefore what one may want to use and buy for healing sessions. Additional information about how to start a business including: structuring a sound healing session for one person and groups, marketing, in-take forms, networking, and collaboration rounded out the learning experience. I would highly recommend Barbara Spaudling’s course to anyone!
