NEXT TRAINING: Winter Cohort
Thursday, January 16th to Sunday, January 19th, 2025
35-Hour Aligned Sound Bath Practitioner Certification and Training
This immersive, comprehensive training will offer many opportunities to learn and practice facilitating meditative spaces with sound. The Aligned Sound Bath is focused on creating safe spaces through sound and meditation, allowing your students and clients to align and realign to the being within. It is about tuning into the space within using sound as a guide. Sound is a powerful meditation tool for others to cultivate a deep connection to the self.
Together, we’ll explore, learn, experience, and practice:
The impact of meditation on the body
Meditation techniques - how to share these practices with others
Cymatics - the study of sound made visible
Frequency, resonance, and entrainment
Basic music theory - how to use sounds and musicality to ease the body into a meditative state
Harmonics and chords
Overview of instruments used in sound healing - bowls, gongs, chimes
How to play quartz crystal and Tibetan singing bowls
Basic gong-playing techniques
How to pair bowls together for harmonic, beautiful sound baths - how and where to buy bowls, access to special student pricing
The arc of a sound bath - bringing participants in and out of the experience
How to facilitate authentic, safe experiences for private and group clients
The business of creating your sound bath offerings

FAQ
Do I need singing bowls to attend this training? You do not need bowls for this in-person/weekend intensive training, however, if you would like to bring yours to use during training, you are welcome to.
How do I know this training is for me? Trust the guidance within to lead you to the right learning space for you. Ask yourself - what is your intention and desire for learning sound baths? This is a hands-on course with a deep dive into practice, lots of time to experience sound, with a focus on crystal singing bowls, and bringing all of the pieces together to create a safe space for others with sound. If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out so we can connect.
Do you offer level 2 training? Yes, Level 2 training is a 3-month 1:1 individualized mentorship container. Together, we’ll develop individualized goals for you to develop your offerings as a sound practitioner. Graduates of the Aligned Sound Bath Training Level 1 program are given priority enrollment and tuition, however, spots are available for those who have taken another comparable foundational level course. You must have at least 3 crystal singing bowls for Level 2 mentorship. Enrollment is on a rolling basis. I take on no more than 2 mentees at a time. Email hello@alignwithbella.com for more information.
Are accommodations or meals included? Tuition covers the program and all inclusions listed above. Accommodations and meals are on your own. I am happy to provide recommendations or suggestions for lodging. Most of my students stay nearby in an Airbnb or hotel - many options at all price points are available.

“Bella’s sound bath facilitator training was passionate, thorough, and detail-oriented. Bella has a passion for what she does and the training was a good mix of education, hands on, and immersive experiences. The training moved smoothly and I highly recommend Bella’s training to learn to become a facilitator. ”
“Bella allowed me to deepen my connection with sound and ultimately with myself throughout this whole experience. Her energy inspired and empowered me to plant this new seed in my journey and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor to witness my growth. Bella provided a comforting and safe space for all of us to learn hands-on with various different instruments and tools. Her devotion and passion towards being a facilitator and teach sound healing, is amazing to see and beautiful to be a part of. ”
