The Vibrational Healing Institute has a mission of increasing public awareness and acceptance of vibrational healing, training the next generation of practitioners with an emphasis on ethics and integrity, promoting the integration of vibrational methods with aligned professional practices, and empowering individuals in their own self-care.
To this end, the Institute offers training programs as follows:
Certification Training – These courses are comprehensive and prepare students to professionally offer vibrational healing services to the community. Currently we are offering a 40-hour Sound Healing Certification course.
Training for Aligned Professionals – These workshops provide guidance for the integration of vibrational healing techniques with disciplines such as psychotherapy, massage therapy, music therapy, and yoga. Currently offered trainings are designed to enhance professionals’ ability to address the mind/body/spirit connection through the incorporation of energy work and sound.
Vibrational Healing for Self-Care – Vibrational healing is a powerful means of increasing quality of life, healing emotional wounds, and reducing blockages in the energy system. The use of sound, meditation, and other types of energy work can be a very effective form of self-care. The Institute trains and empowers workshop attendees to provide their own self-care, and also offers events such as group sound healing infused with Reiki.
