SILENCE & NOISE
ALCHEMY: TOTAL SOUND TRaining
the certification
Our unique journey in sound healing training is certified by IPHM - International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, giving you insurable accreditation worldwide.
This program is designed to be completely flexible, with four buildable levels artfully crafted to equip you with an expansive, full-spectrum sound healing toolkit suited to your own intentions.
The levels have been designed to give you the expert guidance and learned wisdom you need to bring sound practice into your life; whether you simply want to add sound to existing practices such as yoga or breathwork; you're looking to build confidence and expand on sonic skills you already have; or are simply a curious explorer ready to dive deep into cosmic mystery and sound science.
Depending on whether self-sounding, multi-modal integration, 1:1 practice or stanalone sound ceremony is your intention, you may find that level 1, 2 or 3 are enough to satiate your needs and equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to carry sound deeper into your world. Taking the full four levels will give you a profound sonic education, setting you up for our one-year Level 5 practitioner container, an advanced professional mentorship to take your soundwork into the stratosphere and support you in elevating to your fullest potential.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
the approach that mAKES US UNIQUE
Silence & Noise is underpinned by the intersectional nature of of our work - we place significant importance on exploring the balance between spirituality AND science. Whilst energy and intuition is undoubtedly a huge part of sound healing, it is imperative to pair this with the science to ground, understand and deliver this work safely.
​
We think that the modern clinical applications of vibro-acoustics and frequency medicine can also be viewed through a more cosmic lens; and that the inherently spiritual art of devotional sound also has it’s roots in measurable physiology.
When it comes to sound healing, science and spirit are innately entwined. Therefore we seek to study, share and inspire from a broad foundation that spans cutting edge neuroscience, ancient Vedic tradition, and everything in between.
​
We are committed to sending our students out into the world fully equipped not just with technical skills and elevated knowledge, but also with finesse in space-holding; insight into wellness entrepreneurship; and confidence in their own special spice mix of unique gifts and talents.

We prefer to hold our trainings as residential offerings, as we place a great deal of focus on the connection between the constellations of students that are called together. However, we are happy to discuss non-residential options for those who are locally based or prefer to arrange their own accommodation.

SOUND STUDY PILLARS
SILENCE & NOISE SOUND TRAINING is unique in it’s multidisciplinary and integrative approach. We feel that what makes sound incredibly effective and ultra-applicable to modern life is the way it speaks to both ancient and futuristic themes, as well as to both the physical and energetic body.
Your learning is based around a balance of the spiritual and shamanic background of soundwork and its scientific basis which includes mechanical and quantum physics, psychoacoustics and neuroscience.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I cannot wax lyrical enough about the Silence & Noise sound healer training in Goa with Janie. The weaving of science, spirituality and musical theory really resonated with me and I was captivated from start to finish. Janie is one of the best sound healers I have come across on my travels; her passion and knowledge of her craft were the two reasons why I chose to study with her. I am now incorporating sound in my energy healing sessions and I feel confident blending the techniques, instruments and knowledge that I have studied. My clients are loving the new additions to my vibrational tool kit!
Ashley - United Kingdom
I really recommend Silence & Noise! Janie is an amazing Yoga, Reiki & Sound Healing teacher! She offers amazing Sound bath journeys that really bring you to an exceptional experience! I had one of the best sleep of my life after her session! It was so great that I also did the Sound Healing Training with Janie to know more about practicing Sound baths, musicology & neuroscience (so interesting!!!). As a yoga & meditation teacher, I’m now able to add sound baths in my yoga & meditation courses, thanks to Janie!
