WHERE YOUR PATH OF MASTERY BEGINS
NLSH™ Level 1, Facilitator Training
100-Hour Certification
Learn the Art, Science & Soul of Therapeutic Sound.
Many sound healers feel deeply called to this work but still find themselves wondering how to facilitate therapeutic sound with clarity, safety, and confidence

You already feel drawn to sound healing, but when it comes time to facilitate a session with real therapeutic intention, the questions surface: Am I doing this right?
Can I explain why this works? Do I have a method of sound therapy I can truly trust?

There’s a gap between the calling to work with sound for healing and the vocational education that will guide you through your transformation into a skilled therapeutic sound practitioner with a functional method.
You need an evidence-based practitioner training program with a method to deliver the framework for your transformation into the sound healing practitioner you are called to be.

The Path to Becoming Next-Level
Sound Healer

Sound is calling

Become the therapeutic sound practitioner
you are called to be.

A sound healing practitioner who:
  • Designs therapeutic sound healing sessions customized to a client or group’s healing intentions with artistry and a coherent method
  • Integrates the principles of sound healing confidently into other forms of therapeutic and transformational work 
  • Operates from a clear scope of practice with professional ethics in alignment with other complementary health and wellness professions
  • Creates healing environments for others to experience and restore their own harmony
  • Utilizes an evidence-based method of sound healing facilitation with the clarity and confidence of an embodied healing artist    

Build Your Foundation with the True HARMONY Method of Sound Healing Facilitation

Harmony isn’t a destination. Harmony is a practice. 

Seven disciplines are essential to the development of a sound healer. These are practices cultivated through continual study and embodied experience in relationship with sound. Together, these disciplines shape the practitioner's orientation in the application of therapeutic sound for effective and ethical sound healing facilitation. 

This is the True HARMONY Method™, a practitioner-centered approach to:
  • Refine the way you hear and perceive the energy of sound. 
  • Focus energy through intention and concentration
  • Modulate energy with artistic and scientific mastery
  • Stabilize energy with sonic nutrition and repetition
  • Resonate and transmit coherent energy through self-tuning.

The Human Being as a Harmonic Vibrational System

Understand how human beings receive, interpret, and respond to sound across the physical, neurological, somatic, and subtle dimensions of experience.

  • Perceive the human experience as a vibrational experience.
  • Distinguish how the body receives, transduces, perceives, and transmits vibration.

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.

How long can I access the course portal, downloadable materials & learning community?

Guaranteed 12 Months of Full Course Access: Your enrollment includes 12 guaranteed months of access to video lessons, written teachings, course resources, and the NLSH™ Level 1 learning community group on the True Harmony Academy platform.

NOTE: During the first 14 days of enrollment, student access is restricted to the first 2 modules.


12 Months of Instructor Access:
For 12 months from enrollment, you have direct access to your lead instructor, Eva Hawker and the True Harmony team, through course communications, live Q&A, email support, and bonus offerings. You will continue to have access to Eva through True Harmony Academy’s school community.

Permanent Personal Use of Downloadable Materials:
Upon completing the NLSH™ Level 1 certification, your downloadable course resources—including the course manual, reference charts, and practice forms—are yours to use permanently in your personal and professional practice.

True Harmony Academy Community:
 
The closed NLSH™ Level 1 student community group is accessible for 12 months from enrollment. The free tier of the True Harmony Academy community is available to everyone for the lifetime of the school.

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.

The NLSH™ Level 2 practicum and live mentorship program guides students in developing their own expression of sound healing through the practical application of the True Harmony Method™. Its masterclasses, case studies, and practicum allow students to gain experience providing group sound baths and one-on-one sound therapy.

After completing the 200-hour program through NLSH™ Levels 1 and 2, students have the skills and tools to choose how they will serve through therapeutic sound.

Does certification mean I am licensed in sound healing?

No. Currently, there are NO government agencies worldwide that certify, license, or regulate sound healing certificate programs. Upon completing any global sound healing course, you receive a certificate of completion, regardless of what the school calls the certificate. There are no industry educational standards at a regulatory level.

What DOES “certification” mean? A sound healing certificate is only as valuable as the quality of the curriculum and training that prepares the practitioner. The Next-Level Sound Healer™ training program is designed to equip students according to high educational standards. Our Level 2 practicum is modeled after other complementary wellness trainings, including yoga therapy and massage therapy.

A strong self-governing movement within the global therapeutic sound community is working to elevate sound healing as a professional complementary wellness practice. By establishing educational and ethical standards, organizations such as the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA) are paving a path toward professionalism.

How do I become an ISTA® Certified Therapeutic Sound Practitioner?
  • Successfully complete 200 hours of sound healing training and submit documentation with your application through ISTA’s website.
  • Successfully complete the ISTA Quiz.
  • Remit annual dues of $111.
  • Complete 30 hours of qualified continuing education every 24 months to maintain your practitioner credentials.
