Accreditation
Accreditation is very important way to increase public confidence in your professional qualifications and abilities, and to improve the quality of sound healing & sound therapy industry as a whole. Accreditation of practitioners is essential to maintain quality standards and a complaints process for the public.
For example, if a member of the public has a complaint about a practitioner, they can lodge a complaint with the practitioner’s accreditation body and the practitioner will be notified, and in some cases they may be de-registered.
We have chosen to align with the following accreditation and registration organisations not only for the wonderful training quality standards they provide, which include a Training Provider Code of Conduct – something rarely covered by accreditation organisations, but also for the great insurance discounts available from each of their recommended insurance providers.
Important Note: If you are not registered with an accreditation body you cannot obtain discounts on practitioner insurance. Practitioner insurance is essential to work professionally with therapeutic sound and all complementary therapies.

With over 30+ years experience with sound & frequency medicine in a range of clinical, educational and research settings – I have intuitively extended & enhanced a range of professional treatment protocols to create the highly effective iSRT© sound medicine techniques I use to assist my clients on a regular basis.

Teaching Therapists Rock
When it comes to expert training in sound therapy and sound healing, the best quality training you can get is by training with a teaching therapist – a therapist who is also an experienced & qualified workplace trainer who (like myself) is not only teaching, but who is also actively working as a therapist in clinic.
When I worked as a College Lecturer for nearly 6 years in my homeland Australia, it was essential for all Lecturers at the college to be actively working as practitioner in the industry of the subject matter they were teaching.
This was to ensure tuition was of the highest standard, ensuring relevancy to the modern workplace, and never outdated.
This is why I continue to operate my own holistic clinic, not only because I enjoy helping those with relief and prevention of all stress related health problems, using iSRT© Sound Therapy in every consultation, but also to ensure that I continue to maintain the highest quality standards and relevancy in my teaching.
Part of my continued dedication and commitment to your success as an intuitive Master Practitioner of Therapeutic Sound.

What is Sound Therapy ?
Sound therapy is a complementary health treatment, with the client lying comfortabley and fully clothed on a therapy table with a blanket over, while the expert practitioner uses a variety of specialist sound therapy musical instruments to create a range of musical sounds. One or more of the musical instruments are placed at certain locations both on and around the body while the sounds are emanating from the instruments.
The goal of sound therapy is to create a state of deep rest and relaxation in the body, in order to trigger the natural self-healing response which usually occurs during good quality sleep.
Working in combination with chakra energy centres along with various accupressure and reflexology points, the sound waves generated by the sound massage therapy can be directed to improve the flow of Qi or life-force energy throughout the body. Including where energy may be stuck and in need of clearing and/or a general energy balance.
Sound therapy may assist with the relief and prevention of the symptoms of many stress-related illnesses and diseases.
The IAST method of Sound Massage Therapy© as developed and taught by us here at Irish Academy of Sound Therapy, which focuses on the use of therapy grade metal bowls, tuning forks, gongs, chimes and other instruments to generate sound vibrations, is emerging as a highly effective method of sound therapy.
So far we have seen some remarkable clinical results, although more research is needed to accuratley establish the full range of health benefits.
What are the Health Benefits of Sound Therapy ?
So far our clinical results are showing that our unique method of sound massage therapy is highly effective at rapidly inducing the necessary states of deep rest and relaxation necessary for this self-healing to occur.
In all cases presented so far, this deep rest, relaxation and self-healing has resulted in the reduction and in some cases, the complete elimination of the symptoms of many health conditions including anxiety, chronic migraine, facial myalgia, sleep disorders, joint & muscle pain, fibromyalgia, tinnitus and many other stress-related conditions.
Important Note: Sound Therapy is a complimentary therapy and not intended as a replacement for medical treatment.
