‘FOUNDATION’
An introduction to Singing Bowls. Online, on-demand beginners training.
There’s no shortage of online courses.
What’s harder to find is teaching that comes from hands-on practice, lived experience, and years of working directly with sound.
FOUNDATION is for those who want to learn from someone who has spent thousands of hours with the bowls, listening, playing, refining, and witnessing how sound works in real bodies, in real lives.
If you’re new to singing bowls, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Conflicting information. Big promises. Very little clarity about where to begin or what actually matters.
This course offers a clear, grounded starting point to help you get to know your bowl, develop confident technique, and begin working with sound in a way that feels beautifully aligned
‘FOUNDATION’ = ‘on which we build’

“"Before starting I knew nothing about sound healing"
“I absolutely loved the sound healer training with Ali.
Before starting, I knew nothing about Tibetan sound bowls or sound healing, and now, two years later, I run regular monthly sound baths for my community and clients, as well as incorporating sound healing into my well-being retreats.
Ali truly ignited the spark for me to share this work, and I’m forever grateful for her wisdom, knowledge, and beautiful presence.”

And I know what its like to need healing, In 2019 I was stuck in a grief cycle and not able to cope with just living life
In 2019, I found myself completely depleted — caught in a cycle of grief, unable to process what life was asking of me. I was showing up for my family, for work, for everything — but inside, I wasn’t coping. I felt numb, disconnected, and stretched beyond my emotional capacity. I wasn’t sleeping properly. I couldn’t find stillness. My body held the weight of it all.
The bowls didn’t heal me overnight. But they helped me rebuild from the inside, gently and gradually, through sound.”
Without realising it, I began to use sound to bring myself back to life — not as a performance, but as a quiet daily practice. I learned which tones helped me settle, which rhythms helped me release. I noticed how low frequencies would calm my breath, how transitions and silence gave space for emotions I hadn’t let myself feel.
Every aspect of Gajãra Sound Training has been designed from that place of lived experience. The techniques I teach are the same ones I used to regulate my nervous system, move through trauma, and reconnect with joy.
Whether you’re holding space for others or walking your own healing path, or both, this training offers more than skills. It’s a way to return to yourself.
The structure of this training reflects the slow, layered way that healing actually happens. It’s why I trust the process. It’s why I know it works.
If If you're ready to explore what sound healing can open up in your life, creatively, emotionally, professionally, you're warmly invited to join me.
