about the sound meditation training
This is a comprehensive training focused on sound baths and deep listening meditations. I have created the course I wish I could have been offered when I was starting my sound journey. It is highly specialized and only available in person in small groups, with a maximum of ten students. This is because each sound practitioner's journey is unique and I want to be able to give each student time and attention to bloom their sound offering. My approach is to balance fact based theory with reverence for the mysticism of sound. I create a generous amount of time for hands on practice and play together. Some of the subjects covered are the theory, science, anatomy and history of sound, mysticism, meditation and deep listening, music theory, how to choose instruments, the art of crafting a sound bath, and the business of sound baths. The intention is that at the completion of this training each student will be empowered with the knowledge and skill to begin creating their own sound bath offerings which can take many different forms. There are a vast amount of ways sound can be utilized as a tool for healing and creativity. Past students include therapists, body workers, care givers, energy healers, yoga teachers, somatic sex educators, musicians, djs, filmmakers, artists, deep listeners and curious seekers who are feeling a call towards a new direction. This course is open to all levels and can be approached as a beginner or as a way to broaden and fine tune your practice to those with previous experience in sound meditation.
What is included:
33 hours of sound training

Fundamentals in Sound
Sept 26, 27, 28 2025 from 10am-6pm
An introduction to the science of sound, anatomy, and the history and traditions of sound healing. Together we will discuss and explore ways of meditating with sound to access deeper states of awareness. Time will be given to deep listening exercises and sounding with our voices. We will explore different techniques and traditions that utilize sound. We will also begin to play with instrumentation through the sound healing tools available at Kikospace (Crystal Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, Bells, Rattles, Shruti Box) and a more in depth study of tuning forks and their benefits as an entry level instrument for therapeutic sound. We will begin to explore the sequencing and creative process of developing sound meditations.
Homework will be given in conjunction with our first weekend of training. There is a pause of a few weeks in between our two weekends of training so that each student has time to integrate and complete the homework given before we enter weekend two.
days 4-5
Creating sound offerings
October 18+19 2025
10am-6pm Saturday and 1:30pm-7pm Sunday
Building upon the theory and practices developed through the fundamentals, our second weekend will focus on the craft of creating sound baths and how to bring this forward as a business. Participants will have dedicated time to play with graphic scores, develop unique sound journeys and sound meditations to share. Time will be given to exploring the different applications of sound meditations and details on the practical magic of bringing a sound meditation forward, from creating an offering, establishing a space, determining number participants, instruments, travel, set up, energetic hygiene practices and the responsibilities entrusted to you as a facilitator.
Sound Bath facilitation homework will be given at the end of the training to be completed in each student’s own time. On completion of the homework given and all course assignments received, you will receive a Sound Bath Facilitator Certificate from Kikospace.

I began my sound journey in 2016 through my yoga studies in India. While staying in India I attended the Svaram Sound Therapy program and received certification through their immersive training. I then continued my study through courses with John Beaulieu (Biosonics Tuning Forks), Sylvia Nakkach (Vocalizing with Crystal Bowls), and Sara Auster (Completed advanced certification in the ASM method in 2021). I have also participated in immersive workshops, trainings and retreats with master healers and musicians Laraaji, Arji OceanAnanda, Carioca Frietas and Rainer Scheurenbrand.
I am currently completing a 3 year teacher training program with renowned Opera Singer and Performance Artist, Fides Krucker in the EIV (emotionally integrated voice method). In addition to this I am certified in Contemplative Psychotherapy from the Nalanda Institute in New York and have over 500 hours in Yoga Teacher Training, focusing on Restorative and Yoga Nidra. I have been a mentorship and meditation student of Ally Bogard (Author The Quiet Teachers) since 2020 who's teachings focus on practice, career advancement and spiritual leadership, often through the methods of Byron Katie's self inquiry. In addition to this I study chanting, Pranayam, Chakra Kriya and Meditation with Sanskrit scholar and teacher Hali Schwartz.
I have been operating a sound space in Toronto since 2017 and have been actively facilitating sound baths for individuals and small groups here for several years. I also have experience with corporate and large group sound baths ranging from offerings with the AGO, Saskatoon Symphony, Adobe Creative, CAMH, OCAD, York and Queens University, Google, Shopify and many more diverse clients that arc from boardroom settings to hospitals to art and education spaces. For a full list of my credentials and clients please reach out to me.
There are many sound trainings that exist. In my research as a student there were few people that felt in full integrity, who created sound bath experiences I resonated with and who I felt inspired to learn from. I am wary of the pseudoscience and misinformation that runs rampant in the sound community which is often paired with irresponsible ways of offering "sound healing". I offer this training to be in service to what I have learned that I want to share. I travel extensively and constantly engage in my own advanced training and my intention is to help co-create a responsible and sensitive sound facilitator community. I highly encourage you to visit my studio, attend a sound bath and ask questions to see if my style, approach and ethos aligns with you. If you feel a calling, please join this special training. It is my deep honour and pleasure to share what I have learned and carry forward the wisdom of my teachers.
