What is sound healing and how does it work?

Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that uses vibrational frequencies from instruments like crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes to promote deep relaxation, emotional release, and nervous system regulation. These frequencies help the brain shift into calmer states (like theta or alpha), making it easier to reduce stress and access healing on a subconscious level.

Do I need a background in music or wellness to learn sound healing?

Not at all. Many of our students come from non-musical or non-wellness backgrounds. Whether you’re a creative, a corporate professional, or simply someone who’s felt the power of sound baths, our training is designed to meet you at any stage—with step-by-step guidance, no prior experience needed.

How long does it take to become a sound healer?

It depends on your path. The Altha Masterclass is a 3-hour online course designed to give you a strong foundation. While you won’t be ready to facilitate right away, we recommend practicing consistently for at least 3 months to integrate what you’ve learned. For those seeking full certification, our in-person Altha Academy provides immersive training, after which you can begin offering sessions—starting with 10 pro-bono experiences to refine your voice and gather feedback.

Where can I practice sound healing after training?

Sound healing is versatile. After training, many students begin offering sessions in wellness studios, corporate offices, private homes, or luxury hotels. Others integrate sound into existing offerings like yoga, coaching, or retreats. The demand is growing, especially in wellness-forward cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Full Moon Sound Bath at Villa Sage for Renewal

On a warm evening in Dubai, guests gathered at Villa Sage for an immersive Full Moon Sound Bath. The evening began with intention-setting, gentle breathwork, and a guided hypnotic meditation to prepare the mind and body for deep relaxation. Nestled on Jumeirah Street in Dubai, Villa Sage is a serene wellness sanctuary founded by Irina and Karina. The space feels both elegant and grounded, with healing rituals like osteopathic massage, cold plunge, sauna, hammam, and restorative yoga woven into its offerings. Its design—natural wood, lush plants, and soft lighting—creates a refuge where guests can truly leave stress behind . Offering holistic experiences from spa sessions to group yoga classes, Villa Sage is a go-to destination for luxury wellness in Dubai.

Layers of Healing Sound

Crystal Alchemy Bowls filled the space with resonant tones that calmed the nervous system. Chimes and ocean drums added subtle textures, helping participants release layers of tension and reconnect with a sense of inner peace. As the sounds unfolded, many felt a deep sense of stillness they described as unlike anything they had experienced before.

The Ritual of the Full Moon

The full moon has long been associated with clarity, release, and illumination. This gathering harnessed that energy, encouraging each person to let go of limiting beliefs and welcome a sense of renewal. The evening’s theme centered on trust and surrender—allowing the vibrations to carry away stagnant thoughts and old narratives.

Personal 1:1 Healing Activation

At the close of the session, each guest received a personal healing activation using a tuning fork calibrated to 528 Hz, the frequency that supports DNA repair and cellular harmony. As the tuning fork resonated over the heart space, participants described a warmth and gentle expansion that lingered long after they returned home.

The Power of Community

Gathering under the full moon amplified the sense of collective energy. Many guests shared that this was the best sound bath they had experienced in Dubai, describing feelings of lightness, clarity, and deep connection. For some, it was their first time exploring the therapeutic effects of sound; for others, it was a familiar practice enriched by the magic of the moonlight.

Looking Ahead: The New Moon Sound Bath

We are honored to continue this work and invite you to our upcoming New Moon Sound Bath at Villa Sage. The new moon is a time for planting seeds and setting intentions, making it the perfect complement to the cycle of release and renewal. If you feel called to experience this journey, we encourage you to join early. Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly.
