the sound of light

SOUND HEALER TRAINING

If you feel called to facilitate sound healing with confidence, integrity and a deep understanding of the body, this foundational 200-hour training is where your journey begins.

This training goes far beyond learning how to play instruments. You will explore how sound influences the nervous system, brainwaves, the physical body, the energetic field and emotional wellbeing, while building a strong foundation in anatomy, vibration, frequency and fundamental music theory.

Guided by Maria Lodetoft, you will learn to become a healer rather than a performer—developing the knowledge, presence and practical skills to create spaces where the body feels safe enough to 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 — explore music theory, the history and science of sound, and the energetic dimensions of working with frequency.

Prior to meeting in person, we have 2 online meet up’s - offering study check ins and support.

From there, we come together 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 THE COMMUNITY >
FINAL WORDS

I’m so excited you’re here, and that you’re considering this path.

To me, this is one of the most beautiful and limitless ways to live and work. Sound healing opens you up to so many possibilities — to travel the world, to hold space at festivals and retreats, to create your own offerings, and to truly support others in meaningful transformation.

But beyond all of that, we are living in a time of deep collective shift. A movement from density to expansion, from doing to being, from the head into the heart, and back into our bodies — what many call the transition from 3D into 5D consciousness.

A return to connection, intuition, and a more heart-led way of living.

This work places you right at the centre of that transformation. Not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone to hold space for others who are ready to soften, and return to their hearts.

There are no limits to where this path can take you — only the depth of how willing you are to show up, to trust, and to grow.

If you feel the call, there’s a reason for it. You are probably mento to share your sound gifts with the world.

With all my light,

Maria Lodetoft
