There is a reason you are here.
Maybe you have felt it in a sound bath — that particular stillness, that softening behind the sternum, the way the body seems to exhale something it has been holding for years.
Maybe you have watched someone play a singing bowl and known, without being able to explain it, that something real was happening. Something cellular. Something true.
Sound has been used as a healing technology for thousands of years.
And now the science is catching up with what the ancients always knew.
Cellular biology, brainwave research, neuroendocrine rhythms, mitochondrial energy, the electromagnetic field of the human body — all of it points to the same truth: frequency changes things at the deepest level.
This course is an invitation to understand why.
And to experience what it means to work with sound consciously, ethically, with wisdom + depth.
You are curious about sound and frequency but have not yet found a course that goes deep — one that honours both the science and the soul without asking you to choose between them.
You are already working in wellness — as a yoga teacher, massage therapist, breathwork facilitator, counsellor, or energy worker — and you want to understand how sound can enrich what you already offer.
You have attended sound baths and felt something shift in you, and you want to understand the mechanism behind that shift.
You are on a personal healing journey and you learn best when the intellectual and the felt are both present and respected.
You are creative, intuitive, and drawn to learning that does not sacrifice rigour for warmth, or warmth for rigour.
This is NOT a practitioner certification course. This education is designed for personal enrichment, professional deepening, and genuine understanding.
If your calling is to become a fully qualified, supervised sound healing practitioner, we warmly invite you to explore the Pure Heart Centre 12-Month Holistic Practitioner Certification, where sound healing is taught as part of a fully supervised, practically grounded training program alongside emotional healing, Reiki, and breathwork.
This course is for those eager to know. On their own terms.
Before we go further, something worth naming clearly.
Comparable sound healing courses in Australia range from $1,794 to $2,997 — and most of them focus primarily on technique and instrument familiarity. How to hold a bowl. How to structure a sound bath. The practical exterior of the work.
This course goes significantly further.
Across two full levels you will cover the science of cellular and molecular resonance, DNA response to frequency, brainwave states and how sound shifts them, endocrine rhythms and hormonal coherence, mitochondrial energy and vibrational influence, the electromagnetic field of the human body, planetary frequencies and the Music of the Spheres, and harmonic overtones and sound modulation — alongside the consciousness framework, nervous system science, instrument archetypes, emotional liberation principles, and trauma-aware ethics that make sound work genuinely safe, purposeful, and grounded.
Both written manuals are included.
Your personal final Integration Call is included.
Lifetime access is included.
Currently at $880 for all of it, this course delivers exceptional depth, science, and soul with an experienced practitioner than courses charging twice the price.
This is not an accident: Aknes believes that understanding sound at this level should not require a four-figure investment.
This is what genuine accessibility looks like — without compromising the quality of what you learn.
Before you can work with sound intentionally, you need to understand the instrument you already are. Level 1 begins there — with you. Your consciousness, your emotional history, your nervous system, and your unique resonance with the instruments that will become your companions. Some of the modules include:
Sound Practitioner Consciousness What does it mean to approach sound as a sacred practice? This chapter explores the spiritual and energetic principles that underpin conscious sound work — including the nature of sacred contracts, the inner challenges of anyone working in this field, and the subtle but profound responsibility of holding space with sound, whether for yourself or for others.
Finding Your Sound Archetype Every instrument carries an archetype. This chapter maps the spiritual meanings and energetic signatures of the instruments used in sound healing — singing bowls, gongs, drums, tuning forks, and the voice — and guides you toward understanding your own deep resonance with each. This is not simply information. For most students, it is recognition.
Emotional Attachments and Liberation Sound is one of the most direct pathways to emotional release available to us. This chapter explores the developmental roots of emotional patterns, how trauma is held and stored in the body over time, and how sound works as a liberation tool — not by bypassing what is stored, but by creating the genuine safety for it to move.
Five Layers of Consciousness: The Koshas The ancient yogic framework of the koshas — the five sheaths of human experience from the physical body to pure awareness — maps beautifully onto how sound moves through different layers of being. This chapter explores each kosha and what it means for the timing, intention, and depth of any sound experience.
The Nervous System and Sound This is where science and spirit converge most powerfully in Level 1. You will explore how sound interacts with the autonomic nervous system, what is happening physiologically in states of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how specific frequencies, rhythms, and instruments can support genuine down-regulation and nervous system restoration at a measurable level.
Here is where this course becomes unlike anything else available in other sound healing education. It is one of the most comprehensive explorations of the science of sound available to non-clinical learners anywhere — bridging ancient cosmology, modern biophysics, brainwave research, hormonal science, and vibrational field theory, without losing its grounding in lived practice and heart-led application. Some of the modules include:
Planetary Frequencies and the History of Sound as Medicine Sound healing did not begin in a wellness studio. This chapter traces the mathematical mapping of planetary cycles into audible frequency — the Music of the Spheres — and explores how ancient civilisations understood resonance as the foundation of both healing and architecture across thousands of years. This is science with deep roots.
Music Intervals, Octaves, and Their Effects on the Human Body Why does a perfect fifth feel expansive? Why does a tritone create tension in the chest before the mind registers anything? The relationship between musical intervals and their physiological and energetic effects is explored here — giving you a genuine language for why certain combinations of sound produce certain states in the body, and how to work with that understanding consciously.
Harmonic Overtones and Sound Modulation A singing bowl does not produce one note. It produces a living architecture of overtones. This chapter explores the harmonic series, how layered sound creates coherence or disruption in the field, and how skilled modulation — even in personal practice — shapes a sound experience at a frequency level most people never consciously perceive but every body responds to.
Cellular and Molecular Resonance: How Sound Heals at the Biological Level This is one of the most remarkable chapters in the entire course. You will explore the science of how vibration influences cell membranes, DNA expression, protein synthesis, and mitochondrial function. The body is not simply hearing sound — it is responding to it at a cellular level. Understanding this changes every sound bath you have ever attended and every one you will experience from this point forward.
Brainwaves, States of Consciousness, and How Sound Shifts Them Delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma — and what sound can do to move between them. This chapter maps brainwave states to lived human experience and explains how sound supports neural coherence, altered states, and deep meditative access in ways that years of conventional meditation practice may not achieve alone. This is consistently the chapter students say is eye-opening.
Deep Brain and Neural Network Dynamics The default mode network, cortical layers, and the neural pathways involved in self-regulation are explored here in accessible, grounded language. Understanding how the brain processes sound — and why trauma disrupts that processing — gives you a deeper and more compassionate appreciation of why sound reaches places that words and conventional approaches sometimes cannot.
Endocrine Rhythms, Hormonal Coherence, and Sound The body's hormonal system is profoundly influenced by vibrational states. This chapter links the rhythms of the endocrine system — cortisol, melatonin, oxytocin, serotonin — to sound, breath, and field coherence, and explores how biosynchronisation through frequency can support genuine hormonal restoration over time.
Mitochondria, Cellular Energy, and Vibrational Support Mitochondria are not simply the powerhouse of the cell — they are field-sensitive, vibration-responsive structures with implications for metabolic health, energy levels, and cellular vitality. This chapter explores mitochondrial function and the ways in which vibrational and light-based modalities can support cellular energy at the most foundational level.
Breath as the Master Rhythm of Qi and Prana Breath is sound. Sound influences breath. This chapter integrates breathwork with vibrational regulation, exploring the deep relationship between the breath cycle, the autonomic nervous system, and the energetic body — and how working with sound and breath in combination creates profound and measurable shifts in both regulation and restoration.
Magnetism and the Human Energetic Field We are electromagnetic beings. This chapter explores the bioelectromagnetic field of the human body, the role of field coherence in healing, and how external vibrational fields — including those generated by instruments — interact with and reorganise the human field in ways that are both measurable and repeatable.
Facial and Vibrational Facelifts An exploration of how emotional history is held in the face and fascia, and how vibrational reorganisation can support both physical and emotional expression. This is a subtle, surprising, and original dimension of sound healing, especially for those interested in beauty.
Safety, Ethics, and Trauma-Aware Practice As your understanding deepens, so does your responsibility. This chapter covers the principles of trauma-awareness, scope of practice, safety, and ethical holding — essential knowledge for anyone working with, facilitating, or simply being present in sound healing environments, regardless of whether they hold a clinical or professional role.
The Complete Level 1 & Level 2 Digital Manuals Both written resources are included as beautifully formatted, comprehensive PDFs — yours to keep, return to, annotate, and grow with for as long as sound interests you. These are not summaries. They are the full, original texts.
Pre-Recorded Video Lessons with Aknes Self-paced video content walking you through each chapter, taught in Aknes's signature warm and unhurried style. Learn on your own timeline, in your own space, at whatever hour suits your life and your nervous system.
Your Final Integration Call — Live via Google Meet with Aknes Upon completing both Level 1 & 2, and submitting your personal integration reflection, you will receive a booking link for a live one-on-one conversation with Aknes via Google Meet.
Certificate of Completion Upon completing both levels you will receive a Certificate of Completion — Sound Healing Education (Level 1 & Level 2) with Aknes Kendra, Pure Heart Centre. This certificate acknowledges your serious engagement with this educational program. It is not a practitioner qualification and does not certify you to offer professional sound healing services. If your path leads toward professional practice, the 12-Month Holistic Practitioner Certification is the appropriate next step and we would love to walk that journey with you.

GOLD COAST SOUND HEALING EDUCATOR
Aknes began her relationship with sound at age 3+, when she sat down at a piano and played by ear before ever reading a note. That same instinctive knowing — that sound is information, that music is medicine, that frequency is felt long before it is understood — has shaped everything that followed.
She trained as a pianist for the Royal Ballet School, built a full career in the corporate world, and eventually followed the thread that had always been beneath everything else: the profound, measurable, life-changing intelligence of sound as a healing frequency.
Aknes is the co-director of Pure Heart Centre — and the sole creator of this course. Her teaching sits at the rare and necessary intersection of ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and the deeply personal.
She does not teach from a curriculum alone. She teaches from experience — lived, felt, and accumulated across thousands of hours in the sound field with real people in real states of transformation.
This course is written in that same spirit. Not as a manual for technique, but as a genuine transmission of what she knows to be true about sound, the body, and the extraordinary intelligence that lives at the intersection of both.
"I have sat with thousands of people in the field of sound. I have watched the nervous system soften, the face change, the breath return to the body. Sound is not a trend. It is a homecoming." — Aknes
This course is a rich, complete education in its own right. And for some of you, completing it will confirm something you already suspected — that this work is not just your interest. It is your path.
If that is you, the 12-Month Holistic Practitioner Certification is what comes next.
This flagship program — rooted on the Gold Coast with both online and in-person components — includes supervised practice hours, live workshops, five professional certifications across emotional healing, Reiki, sound therapy, and breathwork, and the full Pure Heart Connection Method as your foundation.
It is one of the most comprehensive and heart-led practitioner training programs in Australia.
Completing the Sound Healing Education course is not a formal prerequisite, but graduates consistently arrive at the 12-month program with a depth of understanding that accelerates and enriches everything they encounter.
FAQ section
This is an educational course, not a nationally accredited qualification. Upon completion you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Pure Heart Centre acknowledging your serious and thorough engagement with this material. It is not a professional practitioner certificate and does not qualify you to offer sound healing services in a professional or clinical capacity.
This course is designed for personal enrichment and professional deepening, not clinical practice. If you choose to offer services following this education, that is entirely your own decision and your own responsibility. Pure Heart Centre does not endorse or support the use of this certificate as a practitioner qualification. For those who wish to offer sound healing professionally — with proper supervision, ethics training, and industry standing — the Pure Heart Centre 12-Month Holistic Practitioner Certification is the appropriate pathway.
Most comparable courses in Australia range from AUD 1,794 to AUD 2,997 and focus primarily on instrument technique and the structure of a sound bath. This course goes significantly further — covering cellular resonance, DNA and frequency, brainwave science, endocrine rhythms, mitochondrial energy, planetary frequencies, field coherence, harmonic overtones, and trauma-aware ethics, alongside a full consciousness and nervous system framework. At AUD 880 for both levels with lifetime access, both manuals included, and a personal integration call with Aknes included, this is one of the most comprehensive and genuinely accessible sound healing educations available anywhere in the world.
None at all. Level 1 begins from first principles — the inner world of the student — before building progressively into the science, philosophy, and application of Level 2. This course was designed to be genuinely accessible to complete beginners while remaining intellectually substantial enough to challenge and expand experienced wellness professionals.
Entirely online and self-paced. You will receive access to pre-recorded video lessons with Aknes, downloadable PDF manuals for both levels, and a personal booking link for your Level 1 Integration Call via Google Meet. You can begin immediately after enrolment from anywhere in the world.
There is no set timeframe. The material across both levels is substantial and layered — designed to be integrated, not rushed. Some students move through it over four to six weeks. Others take three to four months. Your access does not expire, so you are free to learn at the pace that genuinely suits your life.
The course covers singing bowls — both Tibetan and crystal — gongs, drums, tuning forks, and the voice. It also covers planetary frequencies, the harmonic overtone series, and field-based instruments and applications. The emphasis throughout is on understanding the science, energetics, and consciousness behind each instrument, rather than technique alone.
Yes. You can pay in two instalments of AUD 490. Both instalments are due before your Certificate of Completion is issued.
Without question — and arguably this is the audience that benefits most immediately. The Level 2 science content in particular — brainwaves, cellular resonance, endocrine rhythms, mitochondrial function, biofield dynamics — will fundamentally deepen how you understand what is already happening in the modality you practise. You will leave with a fluency in frequency that makes every other tool you hold more intentional, more informed, and more effective.
Most sound healing courses teach you how to play instruments. This course teaches you why sound works — at a cellular, neurological, hormonal, energetic, and spiritual level — while simultaneously grounding you in the consciousness and ethics required to engage with it responsibly. It is written and taught by someone who has spent years in the sound field not as a course creator, but as a genuine practitioner, researcher, and student of life. That difference is felt in every single chapter. And at AUD 880 for both complete levels, with lifetime access, both full manuals, and a personal call with Aknes included, it is an education that offers considerably more than courses charging nearly three times this price.
Pure Heart Centre is based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Aknes offers private in-person sessions at the Scalar Sound Lounge for those in the region or visiting. Graduates of this course receive a 50% discount on their first in-person session — AUD 110 instead of AUD 220 for 1.5 hours. Your discount code is included with your Certificate of Completion.
Biofield Tuning and Acutonics are both specific, structured therapeutic modalities with their own distinct training pathways, practitioners, and clinical applications — and they are genuinely valuable. Biofield Tuning uses tuning forks to detect and resolve disturbances in the bioelectromagnetic field around the body, working with the premise that trauma and emotional patterning are stored in the field itself. Acutonics is a system rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that applies tuning forks to acupuncture points, working with meridian pathways, planetary frequencies, and the body's energetic anatomy. Both require dedicated, separate certification programs to practise professionally and ethically.
This course is not a certification in either of those modalities, nor is it designed to be. What it does do is give you the scientific, energetic, and consciousness framework that sits beneath all modalities.
You will come to understand why tuning forks interact with the biofield. You will understand why planetary frequencies map to the body's systems. You will understand the cellular biology, brainwave science, endocrine rhythms, and field coherence that make any vibrational modality work at the level it does.
Think of this course not as a competing pathway but as the intelligent foundation beneath all of them.

This course is offered with integrity. Your investment is honoured with the same.
Sound healing is not new. It is ancient. And the moment you begin to understand how it works — truly, at the level of your cells, your brainwaves, your hormones, your field — you will never hear a singing bowl the same way again.
This course is an invitation to go deeper. Into the science. Into the silence. Into the understanding that has always been there, waiting for the right language to meet it.
Begin anytime. Learn at your own pace. Carry the knowledge forever.
