Sound Healing Academy Arvostelua 

I cannot imagine a better workshop experience. Eric’s passion for music and culture perfectly complement the foundations of sound healing. The lecturing portion of classes felt more like sitting for story, with the over all set up encouraging a sense of building community. I am typically the type to prefer online/independent study, but I can honestly say that a huge component would have been missed had I not attended in person.

Very well organised course and easy understanding the information. I am looking forward to practice more and enrolling in Level 2.thank you.

The course was well instructed. The sessions were quite clear. Eric is an amazing leader who teaches with presence. It should be 10 stars, not just 5.

Wonderful facilitator. I learned so much and im excited to learn more.

Wha a beautiful experience. Eric, our teacher, was kind, knowledgeable, patient and open minded. Filled with so much gratitude for the opportunity to learn and dive in and feel so supported while navigating the new material.

Eric is amazing. He is so down to earth and easy to relate to. He is truly skilled in the art of teaching sound healing. He's a wealth of knowledge.

Eric was absolutely amazing! A wealth of knowledge, skills, and experience. A whole new world has been opened for me to explore. Would highly suggest this to anyone interested in learning more about sound healing and a wide array of instruments.

Attending the in-person Multi-Instrument Level 1 workshop with Andrea Zemrau was an incredibly enriching experience. Having the opportunity to experiment firsthand with such a wide range of instruments, including some I would never have considered purchasing, added real depth and dimension to the training.

Andrea’s teaching style is down-to-earth, intuitive, and inclusive, grounded in a wealth of knowledge that she shares effortlessly and in a truly engaging way. She created a supportive space for our small group that naturally fostered connection and community, making the entire weekend feel both meaningful and inspiring.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I’m already looking forward to joining another workshop.

The Sound Healing workshop was informative, fun, and and yes, magical! Beth and Nancy (and their store) are just filled with light, love and knowledge, and they are open and kind and welcoming. It was a wonderful experience and perfect for valentines day weekend.

Beth is a very knowledgeable teacher with a lot to share about this beautiful and powerful work.

So many things made this experience great....from the welcome into Annie's Lakshmi Sound Sanctuary on the first morning of the course, to the comfortable and peaceful surroundings to the ease and flow of Annie's teachings, I loved it all. The mix of theory and practical session gave me a thorough understanding of the instruments and their uses. I feel inspired to continue on this sound journey. Thank you Annie and the Academy for the great content and delivery.

I just completed Level 1 & my tutor was not only clearly qualified but generous in sharing & very supportive. I’d highly recommend this as a way to dip your toes into understanding the basics of sound healing and the different instruments involved.

The workshop with Annie was a great experience!
An amazing opportunity to learn and play different instruments and practice in a safe environment.
I would highly recommend it to everybody interested.

Annie's gentleness, openness, knowledge, experience and acceptance of all makes learning a very easy process. The 4 day workshop was deep, fun, nourishing, restorative and informative as we journeyed along our sound healing path. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Annie and this course to anyone who has the slightest interest in venturing in to the mystical sacred healing of sound.

This course has been a great addition to my quest for knowledge in sound healing. The in-person portion of the training is educational, thorough and heart-felt. I love learning how each of the instruments works with different areas of the body and energy field. I also appreciate the flexibility to practice and figure out how to use the instruments intuitively. I am continuing to learn by working through the workbook. The lessons are structured very well, and are easy to understand.

Adrienne was open friendly and welcoming. I appreciate the quick responses and team effort when help is needed

I learned so much from Adrienne. She was absolutely wonderful. Getting so much hands on experience and working with a room of strangers that became life long friends was truly beautiful and reconfirmed my love of sound.

What a fabulous experience with a wonderful, knowledgeable teacher. Over 4 amazing days Annie shared so much with us, a beautiful group of like-minded ladies who came together for the certificate course in Sound Instrument Healing. We learnt about Tibetan sound bowls, crystal sound bowls, gongs, tuning forks and many other sound healing instruments. There was plenty of hands-on experience of both giving and receiving after each instrument. The final session incorporated all the instruments together and was deeply healing and so relaxing. Annie bought this amazing experience together so professionally and lovingly and is a very gifted teacher sharing freely her knowledge and skills. Her home amongst the trees in Cabarita was the perfect setting for this wonderful course.

Unfortunately, my experience with this academy wasn't great. I completed Level 1 and Level 2 with different tutors and felt that the courses did not provide enriching material. The content was very basic and some elements appeared to be missing, which created a need to continually seek additional training and I think this is the aim of this academy to always feel the need to learn more and buy more training.

During Level 1, the tutor appeared overwhelmed at times and became frustrated when students asked genuine questions, which affected the learning environment. We were even told that we would need to apply for a more advanced course in order to ask certain questions, which felt discouraging. In Level 2, the tutor did not have experience working with a particular group that was intended to be covered as part of the advertised program, and these sections could not be delivered (festival group).

Additionally, after attending a paid workshop, I requested proof of participation and received a document containing multiple errors, including incorrect dates and hours. When I asked for these mistakes to be corrected, I was informed that, because I had only paid for the "workshop-only experience" they would not provide another-corrected document. I find this concerning, as training organizations are generally obliged to provide proof of attendance when required.

Overall, while it was a nice experience in terms of meeting like-minded people, I did not feel fully nourished with information especially spending a lot of money on the workshop itself plus additional costs of travel and accommodation. In the future I will definitely choose a different training organization where my skills can be taken to the highest standards.

I hope this feedback is useful for improving future courses and workshops.

I had a wonderful experience at the Level 1 Foundations Of Integral Sound Healing workshop in Arizona. Adrienne Smith was so welcoming and encouraging throughout the entire 3 days. I am glad that I had this opportunity to learn with hands on practice and look forward to completing the course with Adrienne’s support.
