Recommended Study
A recognised energy therapy such as Reiki, Bio-Energy therapy or Pranic Healing is recommended as an addition to your practice but is not essential.
Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki method of Natural Healing
The Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki method of Natural Healing is the authentic and original method of Reiki Healing, as revealed by the Divine source to Dr Masao Usui during his pilgrimage to the foothills of the Himalayas. Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki is therefore the only method of Reiki Healing unchanged from the teachings of Masao Usui and the only Reiki method which our Founder, Sharon Q. from Australia trains and recommends.
If you are trained in another method of Reiki Healing and you are not confident using that method, you are recommend to re-train with us in the genuine Usui Shiki Ryoho method of Natural Healing. If you are a present or past student of Irish Academy of Sound Therapy you are automatically eligible for a 50% scholarship on our Reiki Practitioner training.
We provide Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Practitioner training in-person at our Nature Retreat & Holistic Academy at various times throughout the year and also on request.
Important Note: Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki as originally taught by Dr Masao Usui uses the Universal life force energy and does not invoke a connection with any spiritual entities. This is the reason why Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki is the only method of Reiki Healing authorised for daily use in over 900+ Australian Hospitals for over 25 years, and is the only method of Reiki Healing which our Founder Sharon Q. from Australia uses in her clinic, and also trains and recommends.

ISRT© Master Practitioner’s Advanced Diploma
Complete 2 further specialist modules in Gong and Drum at any time for your Master Practitioner’s Advanced Diploma. Our Gong and Drum training modules are also available to study separately for those with an existing related holistic qualification.
Recommended Further Study – Anatomy & Physiology
Because insurance companies don’t consider Sound Therapy as a “touch therapy” (a sound therapist doesn’t touch the body of the client) there is no mandatory requirement for a Sound Therapist to study a separate qualification in Anatomy & Physiology, including for insurance purposes. Some training colleges set their own requirements, but there is no industry-wide requirement.
We have included the relevant Anatomy & Physiology as part of our comprehensive Sound Therapy Practitioner training in compliance with insurance requirements.
For your own professional development as an expert practitioner of therapeutic sound, we highly recommend you to obtain a separate professional certification in Anatomy & Physiology in order to give you a greater understanding of the complete cellular, muscular, skeletal, respiratory, gastrointestinal and other essential body systems so you can be the best you can be for your clients.
There are many colleges who offer Anatomy & Physiology training, including online colleges. The online college Alison.com offer a very good online Anatomy & Physiology short course, which can be studied free of charge, with payment only required if you wish to receive a certificate of completion.
Your Training Guarantee
A unique training guarantee like no other, ensuring you have the opportunity to obtain as much confidence as you need to succeed. I know how life can sometimes get in the way of greater plans. This is why I created a unique training guarantee for your peace of mind. You are invited to repeat any training at absolutely no extra charge as a “refresher training” up to 5 years from your first attendance. This is my commitment to your success as an intuitive practitioner of therapeutic sound.
