Your path to success as an intuitive
Master Sound Therapist begins here at
Irish Academy of Sound Therapy
Why study with us? Your success is our priority.
Our Founder & Principal Trainer Sharon Q. (from Australia) says –
“I invite you to browse our website, if you can’t find the answers to your questions, please don’t hesitate to book a free consultation call, I can answer your questions right away”.
Do you have a deep calling to discover the transformative potential of healing with sound in a professional setting?
Are you already working as a Yoga teacher, Complementary Therapist, Wellness Coach or related professional role, and seeking to master the art & science of sound & frequency medicine for use in your existing practice? Or are you going through a tree-change and wishing to connect with your inner soul through sacred sound for personal growth? Or do you wish to establish a new and rewarding career as a complementary therapist working with sound & energy medicine?
Do you wish to gain a comprehensive and relevant industry-recognised qualification right here in Ireland?
Are you looking for a training provider who still teaches wholly in-person because they know what’s best for your success?
Would you like to train in a tranquil country setting, 35 minutes north of Cork City, with a high standard of self-contained guest accommodation on-site?
It’s no coincidence your search has brought you here, you have found the right place! The inspiring and comprehansive training you receive with us here at Irish Academy of Sound Therapy is among the best in the world.
The Earth Sounds© method of Natural Healing with Sound & Frequency Medicine, developed by our Founder and Principal Sharon Quigley from Australia, is a unique fusion of ancient knowledge, sacred wisdom, modern research and clinical practice for our modern world.
You were born for this!
From our inspiring 1-day Certified Sound Bath Masterclass for Yoga Teachers & Mind Body Professionals, to our Master Practitioners or Facilitators Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas, or a customised training developed for the unique requirements of your workplace, we provide you with the study options to suit your goals and needs.
How Long Will it Take to Complete my Diploma?
As workplace training specialists, we recognise the unique abilities of every learner and provide you with the flexibility you need to choose a study plan which best suits your needs and wishes.
If you are completely new to Complementary Therapies without any other qualifications we recommend completing your studies over 6-12 months in order to fully integrate the new knowledge and master your new clinical skills with confidence.
If you are already working as a Complementary Therapist or other related or fast-paced environment with the ability to learn new skills fast, you may prefer our 6-day Practitioner Intensive, created for people just like you. All 3 Levels of our Master Practitioner’s Diploma, studied over 6 days, with Diploma awarded on completion of case study treatments with family & friends.
You won’t be qualified as a Sound Therapist after the 6 days training – there is still a home practice component to complete. For this you’ll need to submit your clinical notes from the required number of case study treatments (with family & friends) to receive your Diploma.
On completion of our 6-day Practitioner Intensive, you will have completed all 3 levels of your Master Practitioner Diploma Training and be competency assessed in-class to practitioner standard.
We embody the ancient teaching philosophy of natural learning, a learner-centred approach which ensures your success as a confident and capable practitioner of therapeutic sound.
Can I Study Online?
Some of our 1-day courses are definitely suitable for online learning, but our Sound Therapy Diplomas must be completed in person for the time being, and there are so many good reasons for this, including:
- Many insurance companies won’t insure you for sound or energy therapies if your training was completed wholly online.
- Online learning is very well suited for many subjects. When it comes to sound and energy therapy, we have found from our own pilot project, that the advanced sound massage techniques we teach as standard, cannot be taught effectively to our usual high standards in an online environment.
- Because of this, we refuse to compromise on the quality of your training for the sake of our convenience. Your success is always our utmost priority!
- With in person training you will also gain valuable opportunities to network with like-minded people in the class, often creating new friends for life.
If you’d like to be the best you can be for your clients by mastering your new skills as an intuitive Sound Therapist in the shortest time possible, and with the utmost confidence, your training must be in-person, there is no better way.
We are experts in workplace training, and with over 30+ years experience working with sound & frequency medicine, we know what’s best for your success as an intuitive master sound therapist.
If you have a long way to travel, you are most welcome to stay on-site in our guest house at no extra cost, subject to availability.
Can I Study Online?
Some of our 1-day courses are definitely suitable for online learning, our Sound Therapy Diplomas and there are a number of very good reasons why.
Many subjects are perfectly suitable for online training, and our Founder & Principal has many years experience training in the online environment.
Our Diploma training is comprehensive and extensive expert training, which can’t be delivered effectively online to the exceptionally high standards we strive for, and it’s nothing to do with the ability of the teacher. It has to do with the quality and effectiveness of the learning experience.
If you’d like to be the best you can be for your clients by mastering your new found skills as a Sound Therapist with the utmost confidence, your Sound Therapy training must be in-person, there is no better way.
Your success is always our utmost priority!
Training Guarantee
As part of our commitment to your success, you may repeat your training at any time for up to 5 years since your original enrolment, if you wish to refresh your knowledge and skills.
There is no additional fee for repeat training.
Recognition of Prior learning
For those who are already qualified as a Mind Body Professional or are otherwise already familiar with the course content, we can provide an exemption from our Introduction to Sound & Energy Healing Module.
Due to the comprehensive training you receive at Irish Academy of Sound Therapy, we are unable to provide further exemptions for our Diploma and Advanced Diploma modules, as you would miss out on too much.

I love the practical elements with lots of different instruments and learning how to give a sound bath to a group and individual one on one. It was great and I love the class!
– Level 1 Sound Therapy
Sharon has such a wealth of knowledge and experience. I loved learning the different instruments & how to conduct a sound bath, it was wonderful to receive as well. Really enjoyed the learning, would recommend it to anyone.
– Sound Therapy Diploma
I had the wonder-filled pleasure of attending a Sound Bath training at the Irish Academy of Sound Therapy, guided by a beautiful soul named Sharon Quigley. The day was nothing short of magical. Together with lovely like-minded souls I met at the training, we began with serene nature walks in the enchanted nearby Castleblagh Forest, immersed ourselves in the beauty of the outdoors, followed by grounding forest chanting that harmonised our spirits with mother nature.
Sharon welcomed us into her soulful sound healing space in Ballyhooly, Cork, where we learned more about the mysteries of energy fields and explored an abundant array of mesmerising sound healing instruments. Her expertise and passion as a highly experienced trainer and facilitator were evident throughout the entire training. Sharon’s guidance was both compassionate and insightful, emphasising the importance of client safety and comfort in hosting sound baths.
This training has been transformative, significantly enhancing my confidence in conducting my own monthly sound healings within our Women Self-care Circles. The feedback from these sessions has been incredible, and I find myself cherishing every moment of this sound healing journey.
Sharon, your wisdom and warmth have had a lasting impact on my practice, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul and for supporting and guiding me to bring the healing energy of sound to others.
Love, light and self-care bear hugs,
Namaste,
– Gill
Sharon explained everything so well & we did plenty of practice so I feel quite confident in my ability under her tutoring..
– Level 1 Sound Therapy
I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to learn from the best!
– Level 1 Sound Therapy
I never could have imagined I would be so inspired and confident after your Level 1 training. You covered so much but at just the right pace, I absorbed every word this weekend and had so much fun! I can’t wait to complete my Level 2 and 3 with you as soon as possible!
– Level 1 Sound Therapy
Sharon has such an enthusiastic, encouraging and heart warming way of instilling confidence and knowledge.
– Level 1 Sound Therapy
Would highly recommend any of Sharon’s courses, I would love to return for any other ones Sharon runs afterwards.
– Level 1 Sound Therapy
The Earth Sounds© Diplomas
Our Master Practitioner (One on One Sound Therapy treatment in Clinical Practice) and Master Facilitator (Working with Sound Medicine in Groups) Diplomas both share the same Level 1 module. This means after completing Level 1 of any Diploma you can continue with Level 2 from your choice of Diploma, depending on your goals and aims for working with sound, and what area of study is calling you the most.
If you are already a qualified Holistic Practitioner, our Level 1 Module is Certified as a stand alone workplace training, which means you can (in most cases) use your Level 1 Certificate as an add-on to your existing skills and qualifications right away. (If unsure, please confirm your qualifications with me prior to enrolling)
Examples for those after completing MSTP1 Level 1 Sound Therapy:
- A Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness Trainer or Teacher of any kind can conduct Sound Bath Meditations with their Level 1 Certificate, but cannot conduct Sound Massage in Clinical Practice or advertise as a Sound Therapy Practitioner without their Sound Therapy Master Practitioner Diploma.
- A Complementary Therapist of any kind can conduct Sound Bath Meditations and use Sound Massage in Clinical Practice as taught in Level 1 as an enhancement to their existing treatments, but may not advertise as a Sound Therapist or conduct Sound Massage Treatments on their own until qualified with a Sound Therapy Master Practitioner’s Diploma..
If you complete our 1-day NYYSG1 Sacred Sound Facilitator Sound Bath Training, and wish to progress to the Master Practitioner Diploma, you can progress to the Level 1 Sound Therapy with a full financial rebate for the cost already paid for attending the 1-day Sound Bath Training.
No matter what your experience and study goals are, the best place to start is either the NYYSG1 Sacred Sound Facilitator 1-day Masterclass for working in groups, or the MPST1 Sound Therapy Level 1 (2-days) for both working in groups and clinical practice.
As a workplace trainer I also train on demand, so if you don’t find what you are looking for already scheduled, or if the scheduled dates don’t suit you for any reason, you can request the next training on a date which suits you!

Important Note on Case Study Treatments
As workplace training specialists we are dedicated to ensuring the highest standards for our graduates. We work to international standards and best practice for Complementary Therapy training.
This means we don’t require you to work with any clients unsupervised until after you have completed all three Levels of your Diploma training and therefore competency assessed to the required professional standard to practitioner level.
Therefore you are not permitted to commence your client case study treatments until after you have acquired the extensive knowledge, skills, in-class practical experience and completed the clinical supervision necessary to conduct sound therapy treatments to a Level 3 Master Practitioner standard.
Only after completing all three of your Diploma Levels will be you be fully trained and therefore able to legally (and ethically) work with clients unsupervised to complete your case study treatments.
Important Announcement:
2023: Our Founder and Training Director Sharon Q. is invited as a keynote speaker at the International Horsetech Conference 2023 in Japan for her work with an exclusive veterinary team in Ireland in the research and development of sound frequency technology for elite racehorses around the world.
This is a great honour and privilege, and a testament to the quality of the training you will receive from Sharon here at Irish Academy of Sound Therapy

From the moment you are welcomed at the door you will feel at ease – knowing that you have found the right place!
How Long Will it Take to Complete my Diploma ?
We don’t demand that you follow a certain learning schedule just because that’s what worked best for someone else. We are experts in workplace training and assessment.
You are in control of your training schedule right from the start. The following are our recommendations, but as an adult you are always free to choose a training schedule which best suits your needs.
Master Practitioner’s Diploma
As a rule, for those who are new to Holistic Therapies or Teaching, we recommend you take at least 6-9 months to complete your 3 in-class Diploma modules and a further 3 months to complete your case study treatments.. This will allow you sufficient time to become comfortable with your new knowledge and skills and also develop the proficiency and confidence you need to work with clients.
If you are already a qualified Complementary Therapist or Teacher of any kind and already working with people on a regular basis, you will already be highly adaptable and able to learn and integrate new skills much faster than someone who is completely new to Holistic Therapies.
Our 6-day fast-track option was created w.ith existing therapists and teachers in mind. This allows you to complete Levels 1, 2 and 3 over 7 days, with the 4th day or rest, then take as long as you wish to complete your case study treatments and receive your Diploma.
Master Facilitators Diploma
As a rule, for those who are new to Holistic Therapies or Teaching, I recommend you take at least 6 months (or more) to complete your in-class modules and a further 3 months to complete your case study video. This will allow you sufficient time to become comfortable with your new knowledge and skills and also develop the proficiency and confidence you need to work with paying clients.
If you are already a qualified Complementary Therapist or Teacher and working with clients in groups on a regular basis, you will already be highly adaptable and able to learn new skills fast.
With existing therapists and teachers in mind, I have created a 1-day Yoga of Sound Certified Masterclass which gives you a Certificate of Completion you can use with your existing skills right away as CPD. You can then take as long as you wish to complete the remaining 2 x 1 day modules required for your Master Facilitators Diploma.
When Do I Need to Do Case Study Treatments?
We are workplace training specialists dedicated to ensuring the highest standards for our graduates.
You are not be permitted to commence your client case studies until after you have completed your final Level 3 Diploma module, ie. once you have acquired the extensive knowledge, skills and in-class practical experience to conduct sound therapy treatments to the required Level 3 Diploma standard.
Only then will be you be considered fully trained and therefore able to legally (and ethically) work with clients unsupervised.
Can I Complete My Training Online ?
Our Yoga Nidra Faciltiator training is very well suited to online delivery and is always available both in-person and online.
Sound Therapy Practitioner & Facilitator Training is a different story – I won’t ever compromise on the standard of your success by offering Sound Therapy Practitioner training online because that’s what’s most convenient for me.
There are very good reasons I have earned an international reputation for the outstanding quality of my graduates – not only for the content and quality of my Diplomas but also for my commitment to your success. Your success is always my No.1 goal and priority.
As a working Master Intuitive Sound Therapist with my own weekly clinic and an expert Workplace Trainer – I know what’s best for your success.
I know how and why you need to see for yourself (and play) the wonderful range of sound therapy instruments in my teaching studio. Not only so you know which instruments you are drawn to work with right away, but also that you see (and hear) the difference between the different grades and sizes of instruments, and have the opportunity to refine your own techniques by learning from your instructor person.
My Diplomas also include the science and application of healing with sound. As a researcher (and former data scientist) I know how and why the pure sound of the instruments along with their healing qualities can only be heard and experienced live.
If you don’t ever experience Instructor-supervised sound therapy treatments for yourself during your practitioner training, how can you fully grasp the concepts and understand the benefits and application of healing with sound so you can be the best you can be for your clients?
When it comes to teaching intuitive sound therapists – I know how and why the quality of live in class training is far superior to online training.
You will learn so much more in a live class, not only from the variety of learning methods used and interaction with your dedicated Instructor, but also from the practical experience (and added confidence) gained not only by conducting real clinical treatments yourself, under the expert guidance and supervision of your Instructor but also as the recipient of clinical treatments.
I am setup for online training for other therapies, such as Yoga Nidra and Laughter Yoga. If absolutely necessary I can adapt to online training once you have completed your Level 1 module in person, but will do this only if it’s absolutely best for your circumstances and needs.
For example there have been one or two cases where a family emergency for a graduate has meant a last-minute change of plans to online delivery for the remainder of their training. Adapting to your needs is part of my dedication to your success.
Note: With respect to the enjoyment and success of every participant in the class – I don’t ever combine online classes with in-person classes – each will be scheduled on different dates.
Do You Have a Training Guarantee ?
Our training guarantee is designed to ensure your success. We understand how life can sometimes get in the way of greater plans. For this reason our graduates can enjoy unlimited repeat of their in-class training for zero additional cost if a refresher is needed for any reason.
So far nobody has availed of this offer, as the training received in-class is extensive, inspiring and highly effective. However the offer is always there and gives peace of mind and confidence to all graduates that our commitment to your success is second to none.
A Training Plan to Suit Your Needs
Training is scheduled regularly throughout the year, but can also be scheduled to suit your goals and needs. If you can’t find scheduled dates to suit your requirements, please contact us for a no-obligation chat and together we can develop a training plan to suit your needs.
Are you ready to take the next step?
Please take your time to browse the course information here on the website. If you don’t find dates for the training you are seeking, please contact me with your request and together we can create a training schedule to suit your goals.
Our training is conducted in-person either in groups of between 1 to 12 people or more, or with individuals one-on-one, depending on the wishes and requirements of the learner.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat so I can answer your questions.
Your success is my priority

Natural Learning and
The Spiritual Psychology of Teaching
by Sharon Quigley, March 12th 2023
I believe in the education philosophy which hails from indigenous Spiritual wisdom, designed to allow the Spirit of the learner to flourish. A philosophy which was popularised in modern times by Rudolf Steiner, which I call “Natural Learning”.
An education philosophy based on teaching in a manner which nurtures the learner’s Spirit and confidence without holding them back. This has many facets including acknowledging that all learners are unique not only in their learning abilities but also in their learning needs.
Natural learning is also about providing a flexible educational environment from which learners can flourish. Allowing each learner the opportunity to complete their studies at a pace which suits their needs and wishes, without any constraints or boundaries placed upon them which would hinder their natural progress.
This includes no discrimination against those with different levels of learning ability by specifying a set time-frame for completion of their studies, just because that time-frame is what worked best for someone else.
For example, those who are completely new to Holistic Therapies and/or who have never worked with their own clients, are recommended to study their Diploma over 6-9 months with a further 3 months to complete case study treatments. This gives time to absorb and familiarise with the new skills and knowledge, and gain more practice, and build the confidence required to master the new expert skills and techniques.
Giving the necesssary time to develop all the confidence you need to succeed as an intuitive sound therapist.
Many who request to train with us are already working with clients in their own busy clinic or holistic centre. Our 6-day fast-track intensive study option is aimed at experienced professionals who are highly adaptable and learn fast, because they are already working in fast-paced environment. Those who have the natural ability to learn and master new skills fast.
At Irish Academy of Sound Therapy, we give you the choice to complete your studies as fast or as slowly as you need – without any un-natural constraints on your learning based on what worked best for someone else. Ancient wisdom and evidence shows how natural learning is by far what’s best for your success.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me for a no-obligation chat, to answer any questions you might have including to find out which mode of study will suit you the best.
