What Participants Are Saying About the Training
"Dr. Snow brings decades of experience and knowledge to the practice of sound healing. I believe anyone interested in working in this field as a practitioner would benefit from this intensive hands-on training that is built upon a solid foundation of research and work."
"Shelley is incredibly knowledgeable in the realm of sound. The experiences I've gathered through this training (individually and in groups) have enriched my life in so many ways; these sound therapy techniques will not only benefit your clients but will serve you in psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being every day of your life. Toning itself is such a powerful intervention for regulating the nervous system and getting into a state of calm and bliss. It has opened so many doorways for myself and others that I cannot overstate the impact - or its magic."
"The Sound Healing training with Dr. Snow is a wonderful experience. It exceeded my expectations. I'm hooked."
"It was wonderful. I learned a lot. I also received so much... The course really opened up new potentials. Thank you so much!"
"Learning from Shelley is like a precious fountain of information and knowledge. She is very sensible and in touch with our needs. Thank you."
"Shelley is a veteran in the field. She is highly knowledgeable and also has a very lovely, humble, down-to-earth personality. It was lovely working with her."
"As I learned more about toning, as I practiced and worked with others at it, I felt more and more connected to the Universe, to humanity, ancient practices and medicines. I felt it opens up portals of understanding and wisdom. It is as therapeutic for the healer as for the patients. I feel it changes you for the better and makes you grow in a way that is unique to each person's experience."
"I think this is incredibly important work. I hope it is offered again so that other people can learn."
