How Sound Changed My Inner Landscape

Sound has been Angela’s companion since long before she began practicing sound healing. As a survivor of complex trauma, she turned to music the way some people turn to breath — because it was always there, even in the places where words couldn’t reach.


She picked up the guitar at thirty and began writing and recording songs. She performed live, pouring her grief and wonder into melody. When the world grew quiet during the pandemic, she purchased her first set of crystal singing bowls. At first, she wanted to create soundscapes for others to listen to on recordings. But soon, this shifted into a healing practice.

Are You ready to Evolve with Sound & Vibration?

Evolution's Push to Share Sound Healing as Medicine.

She became a Certified Vibrational Sound Therapist and a Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, and began sharing this work one person at a time, then in groups.  Eventually, she offered it in ceremonies, retreats, and private events. What she discovered, again and again, is that sound is a conduit for helping people heal in ways other modalities can’t. It’s a place to hold energetic space for deep healing, even if that healing is simply rest. How to create and hold that space with sound can be transmitted to others to use in their healing practices or for their own healing.


This training exists because Angela believes that the medicine of sound belongs in more hands. Not as performance or perfection, but as a living, intentional practice anyone can offer with care, safety, and depth.

“You don’t need to be a musician to hold a healing sound space. You need to understand vibration, respect the body, and trust your own resonance. That is exactly what this training teaches.”

Who is this Training for?

Level 1 is for anyone. It’s for those who are simply curious about working with crystal singing bowls and want to understand where to start. It is also for practitioners who already use sound but feel called to go deeper. You will explore musicality, energetics, and the intentional craft of healing with vibration.

You do not need a music background or prior sound bath experience. All you need is curiosity, a willingness to learn with your body and mind, and a genuine desire to offer sound healing to others or yourself.

This training serves aspiring sound healers, yoga teachers, coaches, therapists, and ceremonialists who want to add sound to their  offerings. It also serves personal seekers who wish to bring this medicine into their homes, families, and communities without starting a formal practice.

If you have felt called to sound and haven’t known where to begin, this is where you begin.

A Glimpse into what you will learn

Bring Healing Frequencies and Vibration for Peace to the World

We are living in a time when raising the frequency and vibration in our own lives and communities is essential. If we can create a ripple from ourselves into the world around us we are doing our part to be the change we seek. There has been no better time than now to begin your journey with sound to shift energy into a positive direction. 

Level 1 — Foundations of Sound Healing.

AUGUST 22ND, 2026  ·  8 HOURS  ·  OLYMPIA, WA  ·  10 PARTICIPANTS MAXIMUM

Level 1 is a full-day sound immersion in a sacred space. In our eight hours together, you’ll receive hands-on teaching, skill-building practice, and embodied learning. By the end, you’ll be able to facilitate sound baths with confidence, grounded in trauma-informed awareness and supported by lasting skills you can apply immediately.

You’ll learn foundational principles that make sound a healing force. The science of vibration, resonance, and how sound impacts the body and nervous system.

We’ll build on the foundation of why sound works before you learn how to use it, because understanding the why makes everything else land with intention rather than technique alone.

You will be introduced to the standard seven-bowl crystal set, learning each bowl’s relationship to the chakra system and understanding why lower tones ground and stabilize while higher tones open and expand. You will learn to listen not just with your ears but with your whole body, the first and most essential skill of any sound healer.

By midday, you will be playing. You will practice composing gentle, looping sequences that create a felt sense of safety for participants, including those who are trauma-sensitive.

We’ll also cover the practical and ethical foundations of safe practice:
 
  • Contraindications you must know before working with individuals and groups.
  • Energetic protection and grounding rituals for practitioners
  • How to hold a neutral and loving presence without absorbing your participants’ energy
  • How to care for yourself after deep sound work

And by the end of the day, you’ll have led a short sound journey. You’ll leave not only with new knowledge and practical experience, but with the confidence and foundation to continue developing and offering sound healing.<

What You Leave With.

Graduates of Level 1 gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safely facilitate healing sound baths, both personally and professionally.

You’ll leave knowing the science of vibration and why sound affects the body the way it does. You’ll have a confident working relationship with the seven-bowl system and its chakra correspondences. You’ll finish with clear safety, ethical, and energetic self-care practices that protect you and your participants, providing you with a strong, practical foundation.

We’ll tap into the energy you bring to every room and every person you meet, so you can really offer sound as medicine.

Each participant receives a completion acknowledgment from GlassWing Medicine and ongoing support from Angela as you step into your practice.

Confident. Empowered. Ready to hold healing space — that is how you leave this day.

Reviews of organizers and participants to inspire you. You will learn all the tools to hold meaningful sound journeys where participants feel the vibrations for days afterwards. 

Angela is SUCH an outstanding practitioner. If you have the opportunity to work with her privately or attend one of her soundbaths, I HIGHLY recommend that you do.

I recently attended my 3rd sound bath with Angela and cannot express enough how amazing they are. Each time has been different for me but also each time has been fantastic and a bit of a magical internal journey. I highly recommend her services to anyone thinking about taking a sound bath.

We invited Angela to facilitate our sound healing session at the 2023 Project Wellness Retreat for 120 guests in Washougal, WA. Angela has a natural ability to match the energy of the room and create a truly healing experience for all guests. I would highly recommend Angela to facilitate sound healing at any event, large or small.

Angela provided a sound bath for our annual wellness retreat and it was the most beautiful gift we could have ever wanted for our attendees. Angela transcends space and time with her beautiful gift to melt songs, sounds, and ethereal wisdom through her sound bath sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is the core purpose of Sound As Medicine Level 1: An Introduction to Sound Healing?

It is designed to empower you with the foundational ability to use sound as a catalyst for spiritual growth and profound healing. You will gain practical skills in sound healing, experience hands-on learning with multiple instruments, and develop confidence in facilitating sound journeys for yourself and others. We focus on personal medicine, learning to hold space for yourself and others with integrity and grace.

This is a comprehensive professional training. It is important to know that sound healing is currently not a regulated field in the United States, meaning there is no state-mandated “license” or “certification” required to practice. For this reason, high-quality, in-depth training is the standard for professional integrity. Upon completion, you will receive an Certificate of Completion, recognizing your competency, practical ability, and readiness to confidently facilitate sound healing sessions and group events
No. We provide a full array of instruments—including various crystal and Himalayan bowls—for you to explore and practice with during the workshop. If you already have your own tools, you are welcome to bring them, but it is not a requirement.
No. While crystal bowls are a beautiful part of the medicine, this training is multi-instrumental. We cover Himalayan metal bowls, tuning forks, and the human voice, ensuring you have a diverse “kit” for different healing needs.

No prior experience is needed. Level 1 is designed for complete beginners. If you have existing experience with sound or music, the day will deepen your understanding of the energetic and scientific principles behind the work but you do not need any of that to begin.

Sound helps quiet the busy mind, moving us into restorative brainwave states (Alpha and Theta). In this stillness, we can hear the “still, small voice” within, allowing for deep integration, clarity, and a return to our natural rhythm.

The training focuses on the standard seven-bowl crystal singing bowl set, tuned to the notes C through B and corresponding to the seven primary Chakras. You will learn the character, purpose, and physical properties of each bowl, and you will have hands-on practice with the full set throughout the day. There will also be other instruments for your to explore and work with to add nuance and depth to your sound journey. 

Yes. Angela is a trauma survivor herself, and all of her teaching is trauma-informed. The day is paced to honor the nervous system, and you will never be pushed to move faster than feels safe. You will also leave with a thorough understanding of how to create the same level of safety for the people you serve.

No. All instruments are provided for use during the training. After completing Level 1, Angela can offer guidance on selecting and sourcing your own set if you choose to build one.

Level 1 is the foundation the science, the energetics, the instrument work, and the practice of facilitation. Level 2 builds on that foundation and focuses on practice-building: technology, marketing, pricing, recording, and creating a sustainable, soulful offering in the world. Level 2 is open only to Level 1 graduates.

Both levels are held in person at the Elevation Hive, a sanctuary space in the Pacific Northwest, approximately one hour from Olympia, WA.
