An immersive weekend to learn the fundamentals of sound healing and explore the transformative power of vibrational medicine.

The training

Where ancient wisdom meets the science of sound

Embark on a transformative journey into the ancient art and modern science of sound healing. This immersive training goes beyond basic techniques to reveal how sound frequencies create profound healing at physical, emotional, and energetic levels. You’ll learn to facilitate healing through sound while honoring each person’s unique journey, whether in private sessions or group sound baths.

Through hands-on experience with crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, drums, gongs, flutes, didgeridoo, chimes and more, you’ll discover how different frequencies affect the body’s systems and energy centers. You’ll develop both the technical skills and intuitive awareness needed to guide others in their healing journey.

Try it now · Sound on

Strike a bowl. Watch the water listen.

Every crystal bowl sings its own note, and in many sound healing traditions the seven tones are paired with the body’s seven energy centers. Tap a bowl, or press keys 1 to 7, and watch its vibration ripple through the water in the shape of that center’s traditional lotus petals.

Each note draws its own pattern on the water.

Valerie Sanjali Irons is a masterful sound alchemist, intuitive artist, and breathwork practitioner who has been transforming lives in Sedona since 2014.

Her approach to healing integrates ancient wisdom with modern understanding, creating a unique bridge between science and spirit. Through her signature “Soundwave Journeys” using her innovative Soundwave Bed™, Valerie guides clients to access their own innate healing abilities, helping them navigate physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions.

In 2017, Valerie’s practice expanded to include specialized womb healing work, where she assists women in releasing ancestral patterns, processing trauma, and rekindling their creative power. Her acquisition of Aumbase Sedona in 2019 allowed her to create a sanctuary where sound healing, breathwork, yoga, and connection to the land weave together in perfect harmony.

Valerie’s own healing journey through relationship wounds, abandonment, and worthiness challenges culminated in divine union with her beloved in late 2019. This personal transformation infuses her work with couples, offering authentic guidance for those seeking conscious partnerships. Following her 2022 breast cancer diagnosis, she expanded her practice to include holistic support for cancer patients, bringing profound empathy and practical wisdom to those navigating their own healing journeys.

As a multi-disciplinary artist who continues to paint and sculpt, Valerie understands the deep connection between creativity and healing. She views sound as a divine artistic medium, using frequencies to paint healing experiences unique to each individual or group she serves. Her work is a living testament to the transformative power of sound, breath, and creative expression.

Inspired by divine love and driven by genuine compassion, Valerie continues to evolve and expand her healing offerings while remaining deeply grateful for the opportunity to facilitate others’ healing journeys.
