Carole Westerman’s sound healing journey
We are happy to perform Carole Westermanone of our inspiring practitioners whose sound healing journey has turned into a rewarding career!
‘I was introduced to it for the first time sound as a form of healing during my travels to India, where I experienced this the transformative effects of mantra and Tibetan singing bowls.
That experience opened a door for meand I returned several times to deepen my understanding of it the bowls and their traditions. By the I have also visited many in this way sound bathe in it the United States, discover the many ways sound can touch us beyond words and transcend language altogether.
Even though I had collected instruments and traveled extensively, I never felt quite confident enough to share sound healing until I trained with it The Sound Healing Academy. I started with the Online course Crystal singing bowls level 1and then completed the personal level 1 multi-instrument training in Santa Fe.
The combination of online flexibility and the community spirit of personal training gave me both the knowledge and encouragement to do so fully integrate sound in my work.
I have been integrated since then sound healing in many areas of my life. I incorporate it into yoga classes, share it in workplace wellness programs, support coaching clients with it and offer it during retreats alongside yoga, nature and personal growth practices.
People often describe feeling deeply relaxed after a session; some even fall asleep, and many return again and again the restorative experience.
Personal, sound healing helps me find peace, balance and connectionespecially in stressful or uncertain times. Professionally, it has expanded my toolbox and opened up new ways to support others who words or gestures alone can’t always reach.
I continue to learn and growand my advice to anyone curious about it sound healing is simple: trust your curiosity and start. You don’t need a huge collection of instruments to get started… even one bowl, drum or tuning fork can open the door!”

- Soft, soothing tone: Made from soft Spanish cedarwood, it produces a warm, soothing timbre with just a gentle breath, perfect for meditative environments. sound baths and client sessions.
- Player-friendly design: The flute features indented finger holes for a comfortable grip and greater convenience during extended playing.
- Tuned to 440 Hz in A minor: The tuning makes it accessible and versatile, especially for integration with other instruments in standard concert pitch settings. 
In group sound batheit can serve as a grounding drone layer, anchoring the soundscape and other instruments dancing above it.
At 1:1 healing sessionsits gentle undertones can help guide deep meditative states and support nervous system relaxation.
For study and explorationit is a wonderful tool for students and practitioners to deepen their intuition around tone, harmonic resonance and breath-based sound modulation.
Finding silence in change
If the seasons change, we are reminded the beauty of change, which invites us to it pause, breathe and notice the rhythms around us.
Change can feel unsettling, but it also endures the opportunity for deep inner clarity. In these moments, healing sounds become powerful allies.
Be that as it may the ground vibration of a drum, the soft resonance of a crystal singing bowlor the soothing hum of one Native American style drone flute, sound helps anchor us the present, allowing us to navigate transitions with grace and calm.
Take a moment today to listen: Unpleasant the sounds of nature, your own breath, or the instruments that resonate with you. To leave the melodies lead you to silence, and let silence lead you to acceptance, growth and renewal.
In the As life ebbs and flows, we discover that even in the midst of change, there is a place of peace sound can lead the way!
We are so grateful for it the vibrations you bring in the world, the moments of silence that you create, and the love and intention that you share through your practice.
Together we not only learn and grow; we are increasing the vibration of the planet, one soundone session, one soul at a time.
This is about embracing change, finding silence and continuing to allow it sound guide us through it the months ahead!
