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.
