the sound of light

If you feel called to facilitate sound healing for others, and want to hold a safe and nurturing space, Marias sound healer training offers you all you need to know, and more…

This training goes far beyond learning how to correctly play the instruments. You will explore how sound influences the nervous system, brainwaves, the physical body, and the energetic field, while building a fundamental understanding of vibration, frequency and music theory.

Maria will guide you to become a healer rather than a performer—developing the knowledge, presence and practical skills to hold a space immersed in sound, where the body can soften, regulate and heal.

This is a training rooted in both science and energy, combining modern understanding of the nervous system with the ancient wisdom of sound to help you hold meaningful, transformational experiences with confidence and authenticity.

You’ll begin with immersive online study in the online-portal, learning in your own time with weekly opportunities for support — explore music theory, the history and science of sound, and the energetic dimensions of working with frequency.

From there, we for 8 days of in-person training (across two weeks), where everything becomes embodied, lived, and real.

You'll train with shamanic instruments, copper bowls, crystal singing bowls and the gong.

Developing both the technical skills and embodied confidence to work with sound in a therapeutic and intentional way.

This is a highly practical, hands-on training where you'll learn through experience, guided practice and constructive feedback. You'll develop the skills to facilitate both one-to-one sessions and group sound journeys, understanding not only how to use each instrument, but why, when and with what intention.

By the end of the training, you'll have the knowledge, practical experience and confidence to hold safe, professional and deeply meaningful sound healing sessions, grounded in an understanding of the body, the nervous system, the energetic field and the transformative power of vibration.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER

Hello, I’m Maria

I'm so excited you're here and considering this path.

Becoming a sound healer has completely transformed my life, and it has become my deepest passion to guide others into this work with confidence, integrity, and heart.

When you train with me, you're not simply learning how to play instruments or lead a sound bath. You're learning how to become a space holder. How to understand the nervous system. How to work intuitively while staying grounded in knowledge. How to create experiences that genuinely support healing and transformation.

Over the years, I've built a career that has allowed me to teach internationally, lead retreats, train hundreds of facilitators, collaborate with luxury wellness spaces, and create a thriving business doing work I truly love. My intention is to share everything I've learned with you—the practical skills, the energetic understanding, the business wisdom, and the confidence to step into your own unique way of serving.

This path is one of the most beautiful and expansive ways to live and work. It can take you around the world, into festivals, retreats, private practice, studios, or allow you to create something entirely your own.

But more importantly, we are living in a time where people are longing to slow down. They're searching for stillness, connection, and spaces where they can simply breathe, soften, and return to themselves. Learning to hold that space is an incredible gift—not only for those you serve, but for your own life as well.

My commitment to every student is that you leave not only with knowledge, but with real experience, confidence, and a deep understanding of what it means to facilitate from authenticity rather than performance.

If something inside you feels drawn to this work, I truly believe it's worth listening to.

I would be honoured to walk alongside you on that journey.

With all my light,

Maria Lodetoft
