Sound Therapy Scotland

11/11/2025

At the start of the year I made a few commitments to myself, one of them being to simply attend more sound sessions.
Over the past 11 months I’ve attended more than 20 sound baths, not to observe or analyse, but to rest, listen, and receive.

I wanted to give myself time just to be in the sound, and also to show support to other practitioners - including those who approach this work differently or come from different schools of thought. At the end of the day, we all share the same love for sound, and the idea of competition within this industry is something I don’t resonate with at all.

This morning I was really looking forward to catching up again with Carole and it was exactly what I needed. Carole holds the space with such warmth and ease, nothing forced, no gimmicks, just therapeutic sound delivered with care and intention. The gongs sang beautifully, gently supported by bowls, creating a deeply nourishing and restorative experience.

Thank you, Carole, for your beautiful offering 💫

2017! Wow, how time flies. I had wanted to train with Fabien Maman for a very long time before I finally managed to start my tuning fork training with him - a true pioneer in the world of sound. Lovely memory to pop up this morning 🎶💫

After yesterday’s graduation ceremony we drove to The CMA Global Excellence Summit as Sound Therapy Scotland was a finalist in Training School of the Year award.
With competition from all over the world I am over the moon to have been a finalist in such a strong category.
You can imagine how surprised and absolutely delighted I was to then be awarded and recognised as, ‘Inspirational Teacher of Complementary Education’

Huge thanks to everyone who made this award possible, special thanks to Alan who’s ongoing support and belief in my vision has been invaluable.

Great to see Aidan today too, thanks for sounding the conch shell for me as I collected my award, I loved it 🐚

Yesterday some of the past practitioners came together for our first official Gong CPD day.

For years I’ve felt our industry in Scotland was missing opportunities for practitioners to keep developing after their initial training - for those that want to. My vision was that if I was to create a training school it should be there to offer support and guidance long after you complete your practitioner course. Yesterday’s CPD day was part of that vision.

In the morning we explored rhythm, dynamics, and experienced being led by a conductor. From there we moved onto techniques inspired by the phenomenal and experimented with the glove technique - big thanks to Broder & Ines Oetken who generously provided gloves for every player.

After lunch we stepped out of our comfort zones in a safe and supportive space. We played in unison, and also made time to receive from the other players - because it’s so important to spend some time on the other side of the gong too.

The feedback has been amazing, thanks to everyone who came along and shared the day with me, it was great to see you all again!

This was the first official Gong CPD day for Sound Therapy Scotland, and I’m already looking forward to the next 💫

My official certificate arrived this morning, ahead of my graduation ceremony next month 💫

I enrolled on this 6 year journey to expand my existing knowledge of music and sound with the aim of offering the most comprehensive sound training that I possibly could.

I always say - you don’t need a music degree to be a sound therapist, but you should have extensive training at a high level if you’re going to teach it.

Thanks to everyone who supported me during these past 6 years 💫

💫 New beginnings for 3 new Sound Practitioners 💫

This weekend saw the completion of over 50 hours of in-person training for a lovely group of Sound Practitioners.
It’s always bittersweet when a course finishes, but it’s great to see how each person has developed their own style, approach, and way of sharing.

Every group is unique and a constant reminder that sound isn’t a one size-fits-all practice. Excited to see where their path will take them 💫🎶
