Start Your Sound Healing Journey at The OM Shoppe & Spa

After hearing a singing bowl or experiencing a sound bath for the first time, many people find themselves fascinated, captivated by the experience and eager to learn more. Here at The OM Shoppe & Spa, we know that feeling—which is why we offer in person and online courses in sound healing on a regular basis. This past month, The Sound Healing Academy’s Natalie Brown returned to The OM Shoppe & Spa. During her visit, she taught two immersive workshops to students enrolled in the following courses:  

  • Level I Foundations of Sound Healing (five-day workshop, certificate course) 

  • Level II Sound Healing for Working with Clients (five-day workshop, diploma course)  

Both these courses (as well as others we offer) empower students to discover and develop their relationship with Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, drums and gongs, as well as their own voices. Brown gave students personalized mentorship and structured coursework to enhance and share their sound healing skills. “By journeying into sound and holistic healing, I have discovered a rich and powerful tool to help others and I hope to share this knowledge, empower individuals and the community,” she explains.    

The OM Shoppe & Spa is here to support you wherever you are on this sound journey. For more information, call 941-706-3257 or visit TheOMShoppeAndSpa.com.
