The Sound Healing Academy December Newsletter

Dec 05, 2025

Welcome to our December Newsletter!

As we arrive at the final month of the year, December invites us into a gentle pause, a moment to exhale, soften, and let go.

This is the season of releasing what no longer serves us, clearing space in our hearts and energy so we can step into the new year with clarity and intention.

In the world of sound healing, this theme is beautifully mirrored. Every vibration, every tone, every resonance reminds us that release is a natural part of renewal. The bowls, the drums, the gongs... they all guide us into deeper presence, helping us shed old layers and align with what truly matters.

As we close 2025 together, may this month be a time of reflection, gratitude, and gentle transformation. And may sound continue to be your companion as you create space for what’s to come.

Here’s to letting go… and beginning again.

Exciting news: we’re coming to New York City, New York, USA!

We’re thrilled to share a beautiful milestone with you... The Sound Healing Academy is expanding its presence to the vibrant, soulful city of New York!

Next March 2026, we’ll be hosting our very first Sound Healing with Crystal Singing Bowls Workshop in New York, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome a new community of students into the world of sound.

Even more special, this training will be led by our wonderful new teacher, Evie Ry!

If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to train with us in the U.S., or you have friends in the area who’ve been curious about sound healing, this is the perfect moment to join!

A new city, a new community, and a brand-new chapter for all of us. We can’t wait to bring the resonance of crystal singing bowls to New York in 2026!

Evie brings a beautiful blend of depth, creativity, and grounded wisdom to her sound healing work, and we couldn’t be more excited for her to guide our very first New York Crystal Singing Bowls Workshop next March.

Here’s a little about Evie, in her own words:

“My journey into breathwork, mindfulness, and sound began in 2020, during a time when the world felt both quiet and loud. After one transformative session, I felt lighter, more focused, and deeply at ease, and I’ve been exploring the power of sound ever since.

I’m internationally trained in sound healing through The Sound Healing Academy, ASM, and The Sound Healing Center. My sessions blend ancient instruments and modern science, using crystal and Himalayan bowls, gongs, chimes, and breathwork, to create immersive, restorative sound experiences.

Grounded yet intuitive, my approach supports the nervous system and invites stillness for both mind and body. I especially love working with creatives, holding space for calm, flow, and inspiration.”

Welcoming our new online tutor, Chris Cadelanu

We’re delighted to welcome Chris Cadelanu to our online tutor team!

Chris brings a deep passion for sound, music, and personal transformation, along with a wealth of lived experience that beautifully enriches his work, and we’re truly excited to have him join The Sound Healing Academy family.

Here’s a message from Chris:

"Music and sound have always been my greatest passions.

My journey with sound healing began as a personal path of transformation after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which led me to explore the deep connection between sound, vibration, and healing.

I’m now based in Sardinia, where I offer 1:1 sound healing sessions through my project, Resonance Experience.

I’m passionate about continuing to deepen my studies, especially in the art of sound baths and group experiences. I’m truly grateful to join The Sound Healing Academy team, and look forward to connecting and learning with you all!"

Sound therapy with San

San is a musician specializing in Chinese and classical music, and a certified sound therapist from The Sound Healing Academy. She combines sound and the meridians, using methods that connect to intention, energy, and the body.

“Ever since studying music in school, I’ve been drawn to the idea of music therapy. Years later, during a trip back to Taiwan, that inspiration resurfaced.

I learned singing bowl healing, worked with an OM tuning fork for self-healing, and attended gong baths. These experiences opened the door to sound healing for me and created a deep resonance within my body.

When I returned to France, I felt called to explore sound and vibration more seriously. While searching for online courses, I discovered The Sound Healing Academy, and the moment I saw it, I knew it was right for me!

The structured, step-by-step learning helped me understand that sound isn’t just something we hear; it’s something we feel and experience deeply.

Sound healing has transformed my life. It helped me reconnect with my inner child, find stillness, and return to my most authentic self.

It has brought me greater love, peace, and clarity, and it continues to guide me back to my heart. This practice has become both a personal path of healing and a way for me to support others on their journey!”

What one sound bath can do for your mood

A study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine found that after just one singing bowl sound meditation, participants experienced significant reductions in tension, anger, fatigue, and depressed mood.

A great reminder of how powerful sound can be in supporting emotional well-being!

The Ocean Drum - a wave of calm for your practice

The ocean drum brings a gentle, wave-like presence that instantly invites calm.

With just a gentle tilt, it creates the sound of rolling waves, a soft, spacious rhythm that helps the mind settle and the breath slow down.

Whether you use it in your personal self-care rituals, during meditation sessions, or during client treatments, the ocean drum offers a grounding, sensory-rich experience that supports deeper relaxation.

Its calming, fluid tones are especially loved for releasing tension, easing overwhelm, and guiding the nervous system into a peaceful state.

Reflection ritual: a moment to let go

As we enter this month of both celebration and stillness, we invite you to pause and create a simple ritual of release, just for you.

Choose your favourite sound healing instrument: a crystal singing bowl, a chime, a frame drum, a gong… anything that speaks to your heart.

Take a slow breath
Strike or play the instrument once, and imagine the sound carrying away something you’re ready to let go of, such as an old pattern, a heavy feeling, a story you no longer need
When the vibration fades, play your instrument again, but this time to welcome in a new intention
Let the sound mark the beginning of what you want to cultivate: peace, clarity, courage, creativity, healing… whatever your spirit is calling in

A simple moment. A single sound.

A soothing way to create space for what matters most as you move through this month.
