The Mind
Psychology of Sound
How vibration shapes emotions, consciousness, and brainwave states. Why sound reaches where words can't, and how to use that deliberately.
Embodied Sounds · Level 1 · Online
Finally understand exactly what sound does to the body, and lead real sessions in just 4 weeks.
A science-backed, somatic training that turns instinct into real understanding, so you can lead a full session with genuine confidence.
Begin June 9th
If this is you
You've felt what sound can do. Now you want to really know how to do it.
You've felt something settle in a sound bath, maybe you've even picked up a bowl yourself, played a little, noticed something shift. But underneath, there's a thought you don't say out loud: I'm dabbling. I don't fully know what I'm doing with this yet.
You don't want sound to stay a nice extra you're unsure about. You want it to be something real, brought in on purpose, with understanding underneath it.
That's the difference between adding sound, and actually working with it.
One word, first
Sound you don't just hear, you feel it move through your body.
That's what we mean by somatic. It's the difference between a lovely sound bath and something that genuinely shifts how a body feels. Everything here is built around that one idea, and you'll feel it for yourself from the very first week.
What it is
A foundation you can feel under your feet.
Embodied Sounds Level 1 is a four-week online training that takes you from "I've felt this" to "I can hold this." You'll learn to play your instrument with real presence, and understand what sound is doing in the nervous system and the body.
You'll get The Embodied Sounds Method® for guiding a session from beginning to end, so you're never improvising in the dark. By the end, you'll have led your first real sound meditation, and you'll know this path is yours.
The Embodied Sounds Method®
The science and the soul, integrated into one somatic framework.
The Embodied Sounds Method® is our own framework, developed over years of facilitating sessions and training practitioners, that integrates sound, the nervous system, somatic awareness, and your own voice into one living practice. It's not about playing the right notes. It's about understanding what sound is doing inside you so you can consciously guide it in others. This is where you become someone who truly understands sound, from the inside out.
The Body
Physiology of Sound
What sound does to the nervous system, tissues, and breath, and how to feel and track that somatically in yourself and others.
The Voice
Your Voice for Healing and Regulation
You're going to start using your voice for healing and nervous system regulation. Your own. And others'. The most direct vibrational tool you already carry.
The Vessel
Instruments with Intention
Not just how to play it, but what each instrument does to the brain, body, and nervous system. This is what turns technique into transformation.
Who it's for
You'll likely recognise yourself here.
01
The Space Holder
You already work with people in some way, and you know sound could deepen what you do. You want to bring it in properly, not as a nervous experiment.
02
The Dabbler Going Pro
You've played a little, here and there, and you're ready to stop guessing. You want to actually understand what you're doing, and own it.
03
The Curious Beginner
You felt something shift in a sound bath and want to understand why. You're newer to all this, and you'd love to start somewhere grounded, taught properly.
What happens, and when
Four weeks. Steadier each one.
Week one
You ground yourself first
Before holding space for anyone, you learn to settle into your own body, because a room feels what the person leading it feels. Your instrument comes into your hands, and you create vibration you can actually feel.
Week two
You understand what's happening in the body
How sound moves through the nervous system, why it reaches where words can't, explained simply. This is the week it clicks, and you stop second-guessing yourself.
Week three
You lead, using The Embodied Sounds Method®, not guesswork
A clear, simple structure for guiding a session start to finish: how to begin, hold the middle, close, and leave room for what comes up. You start holding space on purpose.
Week four
It becomes yours
You take the framework and make it your own, a practice that feels like you, not a script you're copying. You leave with a daily practice, a certificate, and clarity on what comes next.
And it doesn't end after four weeks
Your whole library, yours for life.
The four weeks get you started. The library means you never run out of ground to stand on.
The instrument library
Every instrument, taught the same deep way.
Not just "here's how to hold it." For each instrument, the full picture, so you know what you're doing, and why.
How to play it
Technique, touch and tone.
Troubleshooting
When it doesn't sound right.
Effect on the body
What it does, in plain terms.
How to use it
Where it fits in a sound bath.

"I've taken many trainings before and even co-taught some myself, I didn't expect to draw so many new things out of this one."
Elisa
Hi, I'm Joy
I spent years making sound from the outside in.
I trained in dance, then musical theatre, always singing, and yet I was terrified to truly be heard. I was performing sound, from the neck up. Not from my body. It took me a long time to stop performing it and start feeling it.
I built this so you don't have to find your steadiness the slow, lonely way I did.
Everything in Embodied Sounds is the foundation I wish someone had handed me at the start, taught gently, with the science underneath it.
Joy · co-founder, Sound Healing School
You learn from both of us
Joy & Eddie
This training holds both the feeling and the science because it comes from two people who each live one side of it. We've led thousands of sessions together, and built this method side by side.
The feeling
Joy
Musician, dancer and yoga teacher. Joy brings the embodied, somatic heart of the work, how sound is felt, how to hold space with warmth, how to help a body let go.
The science
Eddie
Eddie studied at the Conservatory, focused on percussion and the relationship between music and the brain. He brings the structure underneath the soul, why sound does what it does.
The feeling and the framework, the soul and the science. That's the whole point of Embodied Sounds.
Your investment

Before you decide
A few honest answers.
I already work with people in other ways. Will sound fit what I do?
That's exactly who this works for. If you already know how to hold a room, sound becomes another instrument in the work you're already doing, woven into a class or a session, rather than bolted on.
I'm fairly new to this. Is it still for me?
Yes. You don't need to have played an instrument or held a session before. Everything is taught from the first step, so you're never thrown in the deep end.
I'm not musical. Does that matter?
Not at all. This isn't about musicality or performance. It's about feeling sound and working with it. No background needed, only the genuine wish to go deeper.
What if something emotional comes up in a session I'm holding?
This is often the worry that holds you back from bringing sound into real client work, and it's exactly what the framework is for. You'll learn to stay grounded and hold space safely if something feels big, while staying clear that you're a sound facilitator, not a therapist.
What if I miss a Tuesday?
Every session is recorded with lifetime access. We'd love you live, but you'll never miss the content.
Do I need to buy lots of instruments?
No. You begin with a single bowl. We guide you personally on what to add, when, and why, so you never spend on the wrong things.
June 9th
Become the one holding the bowl.
Four Tuesdays, a framework that's truly yours, and a circle of people who care about doing this work properly. The start of something real.
