Sound Healing Training · In Person & Online
The Sound Healing School
Where science meets soul, and music meets healing.
Welcome
This isn't about making pretty sounds.
It's about holding space. Creating safety. Inviting transformation.
Whether you're a yoga teacher, a therapist, a coach, or simply drawn to the magic of sound, you're here because you feel there's more. More depth. More authenticity. More heart.
And that is exactly what we teach.
What Makes Us Different
Most trainings teach you what to play. We teach you how to listen.
How to feel what is happening in the room, and how to guide someone through it with sound.
We're not just sound healers. We're musicians, teachers and guides. And we believe sound healing deserves more than guesswork and good vibes. It deserves attention, understanding, and real skill.
Ancient wisdom, musicality, and modern science, in one method.
The Embodied Sounds Method®
The four foundations of skilled facilitation.
With one of these you can work on the surface. To guide people in the depth, to read what's happening and know how to respond, you need all four, woven together.
Attune
Read what's actually happening in someone's body, regulation, activation, overwhelm, the moment it shows up.
Embody
Stay grounded when someone cries, checks out, or opens up mid-session. Instead of freezing, you know what to do.
Design
Know why you're playing what you're playing. Every session built deliberately, not intuitively.
Understand
Know how rhythm, silence, pacing and sequence move the nervous system, so your choices are deliberate.
Sound reaches places in us where words and movement cannot. Let's use that power with awareness.

About Us
Joy Rae & Eddie van Dongen
Two professional musicians and sound facilitators. Together we've guided thousands of people through sound journeys, trainings and retreats.
Joy, singer, dancer and yoga teacher, brings the embodied, somatic heart of the work. Eddie, Conservatory-trained percussionist and meditation teacher, brings the structure underneath the soul.
We started this school to raise the standard, and to build a community of people who don't just feel sound healing, but truly understand it.
You don't have to walk this path alone. We walk it with you.
This is for you if
- You've felt the power of sound yourself, and somewhere inside you thought: I want to share this.
- You're not looking for fixed scripts. You want to guide with clarity, confidence and presence.
- You believe in the power of awareness, and you want to do this work with integrity.
The Community
You don't walk this path alone.
Every training ends with a group of people who understand what you're doing, and who keep going together long after the last session.
Ready To Begin?
Let's raise the standard together.
Sessions that truly matter. A new era of sound healing, shaped by people who understand what they're doing.
