Sound Healing Programs Testimonials

Words of Gratitude

Guy opened an entirely new world of sound to me. His knowledge is vast, and his teaching grounded in both science and intuitive understanding. Before studying with him, I had spent £2300 on two courses with a well-known school, yet left with more questions than answers. I was frustrated by vague, "just trust your intuition" advice. A friend from another school had the same issue — no real grasp of harmony or dissonance, just hitting bowls and assigning chakras blindly.
With Guy, everything changed. His method is clear, practical, and deeply insightful. He taught me how to listen consciously and use sound for genuine healing. His course is so thorough, I didn’t need to look elsewhere.

Marina Sigalova
Sound Healing and Theta Healing Practitioner (UK)

Guy Yair Beider is a core teacher in my development as a sound therapy practitioner. He has thoughtfully guided my approach and ethos during a time when my work has expanded into larger groups. While some teachers tend towards theory, and others more towards practicum, Guy blends both with wisdom, humor, and a heart the size of a bus. One of the things you come away with when studying with him is his love of the instruments, and the way he cares for the soundscape. His approach is grounded in deep experience, and he has a clear eye for any unnecessary baggage the student may be carrying. I've learned so much from Guy, and enjoyed it!

Rudi Bach
Sound Meditation Facilitator at Kripalu Center (MA, USA)

Though I wasn’t new to singing bowls, I had no idea how many types there are, how to choose them for synergy, or how to use them effectively for meditation and therapy Guy blends science, art, and a touch of mysticism, presenting the material with clarity and depth. He explains sound dynamics and pitch intervals step by step, helping me understand how to create the sounds I was seeking and choose the right bowls. He also debunks common myths—especially those used in sales—and supports learning with top-quality videos, links, and interactive exercises that make complex ideas easy to grasp. This class gave me practical tools, deeper understanding, and real inspiration. I’m truly grateful for this beautifully designed course!

Lee R Horsman
Sound Meditation Facilitator (NC, USA)

This course is an abundance of knowledge, insights and love for singing bowls, shared with generosity, and honesty by Guy Yair Beider. Theory, science and practice are going hand by hand in well-formulated chapters revealing the author's broad experience with sound work. Taking the "Sound Healing Teacher Training" course leaves me well informed and inspired working in the field that I was struggling to find reliable and practical knowledge. Currently, I find myself at a higher level of understanding, confident, and better grounded in the approach to my own sound work, as well as my ongoing love life with singing bowls.

Lisbeth Busk-Johansen
Sound Meditation Facilitator (Denmark)

Such an informative and practical, well-structured course! While I was studying sound healing in the UK, I came up with so many questions that were remaining unanswered. Now I understand why my path has brought me to you. I gained so much knowledge, wisdom, and awareness. I wish everyone searching for a reliable sound therapy education to take this course or at least to have an opportunity to listen to you. Our Zoom meetings were the highlights (all of them)! Guy, you are an amazing sound worker, incredibly wise teacher, and one of the most radiant souls I know. Your “Sound Healing Teacher Training” course should become a standard for the sound healing community. This course was a real deal!

Lucy C.
Performer, Sound Healing Teacher (UK)

Highly recommend Sound Healing Teacher’s Training, All the segments were given clearly and enjoyable. I’ve learned a lot of new information as well as adopted new practice techniques. I received lots of support from my tutor Guy who is an incredible master of sound and human communication! I loved both, the self-teaching part of the program and complementing Zoom conversations with Guy.
My concerns about taking a class ONLINE seem to be completely irrelevant after receiving so much from Sound Medicine Academy. Also, the certificates I gained over the years with other sound healing schools are just NOTHING in comparison to the practical knowledge, wisdom and inspiration I absorbed from Guy.

Lily R.
MD, Sound Healing Facilitator (CA, USA)

I grew up with traditional Chinese medicine, but after being diagnosed with MCS, my healing journey felt nearly impossible. My immune system was wrecked, and I became hypersensitive to chemicals. Discovering Ayurvedic medicine eventually led me to sound healing.
Studying at Sound Medicine Academy taught me how sound activates specific areas in the body, helping me target where I needed healing most. While it hasn’t returned me to who I was, it’s given me a deeper understanding of my body and how to care for it. Thank you, Guy, for your knowledge and kindness — you've truly improved my quality of life and understanding of energy.

Mai Nguyen (Montreal, Canada)
Functional Medicine and Sound Healing Practitioner

My interest in sound healing began during a backpacking trip to Nepal, where sound helped me manage anxiety and inspired me to support others with similar struggles. With a scientific mindset, Guy’s approach helped me understand the real reasons behind the calm I felt abroad. Psychoacoustics were the biggest takeaway, along with a solid understanding of instruments, techniques, and sound science. The course is rich and thorough—take your time with it. The one-on-one Zoom sessions were incredibly helpful, and I now feel confident sharing what I’ve learned. Also, Guy’s support in selecting singing bowls and gongs was absolutely priceless. Thank you, Guy!

Matt B. (PA USA)
Massage Therapist / Reiki Master / Sound Healing

I researched a lot before I signed up for Guy's training. I chose his training because he was very responsive, professional, had a transparent curriculum and he made it clear he was available anytime to answer questions. I really enjoyed the depth of his knowledge in music theory. I loved how much he conveys his love for the Himalayan Singing Bowls in this course, shares his personal journey with them and teaches us all about their true beauty and uniqueness. He kept his word and was always available to speak with over text, email or phone calls. I also love that even though I have completed my training I have access to this information forever :) He truly teaches us to play with clear hearts, true intention and connection with our audience.

Nichole Tandy
Yoga Teacher / Sound Healing Teacher (Utah, USA)

I can't express how much I learned, it was beyond anything I imagined. The course content was inclusive of all you need to know. The science, the art-form, music theory, background info. I'm so glad I chose this indepth course. Guy as a mentor was very supportive, he created an environment that stretched my knowledge and skills beyond imaginable, and nurtured my self-development to a point where I have made important life changes for the better and where I have overcome ingrained emotional hurdles. I have developed my musicianship skills and my confidence, in putting all the learning together to create meaningful and effective sound sessions that are already really benefitting my clients.

Helen Slater
Horse Rescue / Sound Meditation Facilitator (UK)

Before this course, I had a certificate from another school and had been practicing sound healing for nine years. But a few years ago, my motivation began to fade. I eventually realized I lacked a true understanding of sound and tools to support my intuition. The old protocols just didn’t work anymore. When I saw the curriculum of Sound Medicine Academy, it felt overwhelming—but I immediately knew it was what I needed. Now, I feel confident sharing my work again. Guy teaches with passion, wisdom, and heart. This course was everything I hoped for—and more.

Barbara Cohen
Practical Nurse and Sound Healing Practitioner (Germany)

This course was a life-changing experience! Guy gives a lot of practical information that others don’t. He focuses on an in-depth understanding of what sound is and how to use it thoughtfully. He is sharing with love and devotion all he knows about different healing instruments and teaches all you must know about facilitating meaningful and deep sound journeys. I was hesitant imagining I would be missing out on the in-person aspects of training but this did not happen at all!. This course is a life-changing event for me and I have to take time to digest all the knowledge and love I received. I am so excited to share what I have gained to help others to heal! Guy, thank you so much for your knowledge, wisdom, dedication and love!

Rozi S.
Sound Wellness and Reiki Practitioner (UK)

First off, thank you Guy for putting together such an informative and practical, well-structured course. While I was studying sound healing in the UK, I came up with so many questions that were remaining unanswered. Now I understand why my path has brought me to your Sound Medicine Academy. I gained so much knowledge, wisdom, and awareness. Now my sound therapy practice is 10 levels higher thanks to this course. I wish everyone searching for a reliable sound therapy education to take this course or at least to have an opportunity to listen to you. By the way, our Zoom meetings were the highlights (all of them)! Guy, you are an amazing sound worker, incredibly wise teacher, and one of the most radiant souls I know. Your Sound Healing Teacher Training” course should become a standard for the sound healing community.
