Join the groundbreaking Vibrational Sound® Therapy (VST) Singing Bowl Certification Course from the Vibrational Sound® Association (VSA)—the first and only accredited program of its kind, designed to empower wellness professionals and aspiring practitioners to deliver profound, client-centered sound therapy. This immersive hybrid certification course blends over 25 hours of flexible online video instruction with three days of intensive, hands-on in-person training, equipping you with the skills, tools, and confidence to start practicing professionally right away. Whether you're new to sound therapy or a seasoned expert, this secular, science-based program focuses on practical mastery using Himalayan singing bowls, ensuring you can integrate VST seamlessly into your existing practice or launch a rewarding new career.

Upon successful completion, you'll earn the prestigious title of Vibrational Sound® Therapy Certified Practitioner (VSTCP), along with certification from the VSA. Graduates become VSA affiliates, gaining lifelong access to discounts, referral credits, ongoing educational resources, peer support, and advanced courses. With over 1,500 certified practitioners worldwide applying VST in settings like hospitals, wellness centers, spas, hospice, yoga studios, schools, and private practices, you'll join a global community transforming lives through the power of sound. With our step-by-step guidance, supportive instructors, and vibrant community of graduates, you'll feel confident and empowered every step of the way—many of our students report feeling excited and ready to register after seeing how accessible and transformative the program is. 

Unlike generic sound therapy workshops that overwhelm with vague techniques and multiple instruments, this is the only course laser-focused on mastering client-centered sessions with 1-4 therapeutic singing bowls. You'll learn precise, hands-on skills—including the innovative Measured Strike Technique (MST) for controlled, calming vibrations—to deliver targeted, one-to-one vibrational healing. Built on evidence-based principles, the course covers essential techniques through guided meditations, group discussions, live demonstrations, and real-world practice, ensuring you're equipped to work effectively with clients from day one—not just theoretically, but practically. VST can easily be integrated into other wellness practices such as massage therapy, psychotherapy, reiki, and chiropractic care, or used as a stand-alone modality to offer unique, transformative sound healing sessions.

This course is ideal for a wide range of wellness professionals looking to expand their toolkit, including acupuncturists, holistic nurses, yoga instructors, energy healers, psychologists and counselors, nutritionists, reiki professionals, craniosacral therapists, naturopaths, aromatherapists, life coaches, reflexologists, chiropractors, meditation guides, shamanic practitioners, hypnotists, physical therapists, Qigong practitioners, holistic coaches, Tai Chi instructors, holistic doctors, and massage therapists.

No previous experience is necessary—this course welcomes participants from all backgrounds and is designed for those new to sound therapy as well as seasoned practitioners looking to deepen their expertise and refine their skills.

This modality is not specific to any spiritual or religious practice and can be seamlessly integrated into any spiritual practice or none, making it universally accessible and adaptable. As a deep relaxation modality, VST harnesses the soothing resonances of sound to guide clients into profound states of calm, directly addressing common issues like pain, stress, and anxiety. Deep relaxation through VST can reduce chronic pain by easing muscle tension and promoting natural endorphin release; alleviate stress by lowering cortisol levels and restoring hormonal balance; and ease anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which fosters mental clarity, better emotional regulation, and improved sleep quality—ultimately helping clients achieve lasting relief and enhanced overall well-being. Impressively, 99% of clients saw a reduction in stress, pain, or anxiety, with average improvements on a scale from 1-10 including: stress decreased by 62% (from 5.3 to 2.0), pain decreased by 47% (from 3.6 to 1.9), and anxiety decreased by 59% (from 4.4 to 1.8). This data was collected in 2021 based on 350 client session forms from VST Certified Practitioners. 

 - Specific step-by-step session protocols tailored for personalized, one-to-one client experiences, from relaxation to deep therapeutic healing; these protocols range in length from 5 minutes to 100 minutes to vary the menu of services you can offer your clients with unlimited combined protocols
