Build Your Foundation with
Next-Level Sound Healer™
Facilitator Certification
In NLSH™ training, therapeutic principles and somatic understanding are brought into relationship with Western music theory and technique, alongside the disciplines of personal practice and self-study informed by an expanded yogic perspective. Through this integrative approach to the art and science of sound healing, students develop a more embodied, discerning, and transformational relationship with sound.
These ways of knowing are woven together through clear teaching, guided experiences, and practical tools, helping students develop greater discernment as therapeutic sound facilitators. The True HARMONY Pillars of Practice™ offer a way of orienting that learning in practice.

The True HARMONY Pillars of Practice™ are essential disciplines cultivated through practice. The study of music, yoga, and the healing arts each invites the student to move beyond knowing into embodied experience. NLSH™ training extends that same invitation to the study of sound for healing. Through continual practice, the Pillars shape the practitioner's orientation to therapeutic sound, deepening discernment, responsiveness, and artistry.

Next-Level Sound Healer™ Level 1 FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Level 1 training take to complete?
You have 12 months to complete your certification at your own pace. The program can be completed in as little as 9–12 weeks. The NLSH™ Level 1 program on LearnWorlds provides 24/7 access, and after certification, you maintain access to the course materials for the life of the program.
For the best integration of the material, True Harmony Academy recommends dedicating about 1 hour most days for 3 months. However, the asynchronous format allows each student to create a manageable study schedule.
Learning to play instruments is a fine motor skill. Motor-learning research shows that frequent practice produces better mastery than less frequent, longer practice sessions. Even 5–10 minutes of daily or nearly daily technique practice will produce more sustainable progress than completing all your practice hours on one day per week.
If you need additional guidance and support, please attend Eva’s office hours or schedule a 1-1 coaching session HERE.

Are instruments required to begin the level 1 course?
No specific instruments or prior musical experience are required to begin the NLSH™ Level 1 Foundations training. Nearly everyone already has a vocal instrument, hands, and other objects that can produce rhythms. If you already have instruments, the principles of sound therapy taught in the course can be applied to any instrument.
Guidance and recommendations are provided upon enrollment for students who want to gather some of the specific instruments taught in the training. However, students often find it helpful to review the course content covering instrument basics before making purchases.
Students may attend “Ask Eva” Q&A office hours for more specific guidance or book a private mentorship session.

Is this group sound bath or 1-on-1 sound therapy training?
NLSH™ Level 1 focuses on foundational principles of therapeutic sound that apply to multiple forms of sound healing for both groups and individuals, including sound baths, sound meditations, and sound therapy. This is facilitator-level certification.
NLSH™ Level 2 practicum and live mentorship program guides students to develop their own expression in sound healing work through the application of level 1 tools with both groups and individuals. Through masterclasses, case studies, and supervised practicum students gain real-world experience for practitioner-level certification.
After completing the 200-hour program through NLSH™ Levels 1 and 2, students have the skills and experience to choose how they will serve through therapeutic sound.

Does certification mean I am licensed in sound healing?
Are continuing education credits available?
Sound healing is not currently regulated through a universal government licensing or certification system. Upon completing a sound healing training, students receive a certificate of completion rather than a government-issued professional license. There are also no universally mandated educational standards for sound healing at a regulatory level. The value of a sound healing certification therefore depends substantially on the quality, depth, and integrity of the education and training behind it.
The Next-Level Sound Healer™ training program is designed to prepare students through high educational standards, substantial study, applied practice, and professional ethics. Our Level 2 practicum is modeled in part on the supervised and applied learning structures found in other complementary wellness professions, including yoga therapy and massage therapy.
NLSH™ is designed for recognition across multiple professional and continuing education contexts. The training will offer continuing education through Yoga Alliance (YACEP), International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) Approved Professional Development (APD), and the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA), as well as accreditation through the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), with the possibility of additional professional recognition over time. These recognitions do not constitute government licensure or regulation of sound healing. Rather, they reflect the training’s relevance across yoga, yoga therapy, sound healing, complementary wellness, and related professional communities.
There is a growing movement within the global community of therapeutic sound practitioners to elevate professional standards for sound healing as a complementary wellness practice. By developing educational and ethical standards, organizations such as the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA) are contributing to the continued professionalization of the field.
