We believe that everything happens in its own time
But there are some universal truths.
As we go through life, first we need to learn how to crawl. Then we learn how to walk, how to run, and some of us learn to soar.
These are important steps. To gain maximum proficiency, you must first master your current skills before progressing.Â
Our programs are built around that simple philosophy. Begin at the beginning, and progress when you're ready.Â
Know that we are here to support you. We want you to be successful - there are many, many people who need your support. We are here to help you help others.

SW-340 USING THE VOICE
SW-380 SPECIALIZED METHODS
Programs for Personal Growth . . .
It seems the biggest challenge today, is making time for self-care. After all, there's work, getting the groceries, doing the laundry, helping. the kids with their homework, home maintenance (there really is no glory in cleaning, but it still has to be done) and, and, and.Â
So where is there time for yourself? For many, it simply doesn't happen.
But the truth is, and we all know this, without proper self care, without time for ourselves to unwind, to relax, we are opening ourselves up to the probability of illness. If not today, then tomorrow. At some point, your body will say enough.Â
So before that happens, take some time to reward yourself for everything you do. Your body will thank you!

Private Sessions
A few time slots per week are set aside for 1 on 1 sessions for those called to private sessions with us. Sessions are given in our healing space in Calgary or over Zoom, in some cases.
During a Sound Wellness session, we connect with your body’s innate ability to recognize, incorporate, transmit and respond to sound.

Understanding Energetic Boundaries
Understanding Energetic Boundaries is for highly sensitive people who are deeply affected by the energy and emotions of people around them.
If you work in a service-based industry where you work with other people one-on-one, or even with teams, strong energetic boundaries is an essential skill.

Mastering Energetic Boundaries
Are you an Empath or Highly Sensitive Person?
Do you find sometimes that it is hard to tell the difference between what’s your energy and what isn’t?
If you work with other people, are you exhausted by the end of the day?
Are you looking for effective ways to Reset your energy from depletion to harmony and strength?

Programs to Advance Your Business
Over the years, we have been asked to provide courses that build your skills outside of the traditional Sound Wellness programs.
These programs are focused on supporting your business, and providing you with tools to further help you to monetize your business.
Note: Because these courses are outside of the realm of working directly with a client, they are not part of our Certification Program. They cannot be used as 'courses of specialization' to be used as part of the certification requirements.
