Questions about Sound Therapy Training

Deciding to take the class

So, you're ready to find out more about what is involved in becoming a sound therapy practitioner. We've prepared the following information to help you determine if it's the right career choice for you.

What other equipment do I need to get started?

Essentially nothing except a computer.

The SEE Level 1 Multi-Media Home Based Training System will allow you to get started learning the techniques immediately in the comfort of your own home. From there, you can decide if you're ready to invest further.

The Sound Assistant package comes with everything you need to start experimenting, including the software, SEE Level 1 Training System, a boom microphone, headphones, one tonebox, and a manual. It is expected that you will just experiment with yourself until you receive the training and experience necessary to progress. Eventually, you will probably want a pulse oximeter to aid in monitoring a client's response to the sounds.

What kind of computer do I need?

You will need a Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP, Me, Vista with a 16 bit sound card and 150 MB of free hard disk space. Basically all computers available today will meet these requirements.

How long does it take to go through the SEE Level 1 Training Course?

This varies from person to person. We estimate between 4 and 12 hours depending on your background and expertise. Remember you can always go back and review the material at any time.

How much money can I make for an assessment?

This varies from practitioner to practitioner, but we suggest between $60 and $100 per hour to start. It normally takes extensive education to demand this kind of hourly wage, but this field is so new and exciting, you can earn this much and more...

Can I charge less?

Yes, and we are happy to see practitioners do this, especially with clients in need. As a practitioner you can set your own price schedule. In fact, some of our practitioners set a one time charge for two or more sessions and equipment rental.

Can I obtain referrals through you?

Yes, once you've satisfied us that you are qualified to see clients in a professional capacity, stay up to date with new developments, and continue have a good reputation with clients.

How do I get clients?

We suggest that you start working with your friends and family. When you are successful working and gaining experience with them, they often pass your information on to others through word of mouth. In addition, we make it possible for you to hand out our promotional recording with your contact information.

• Other ideas include:
• Display a table at local expos
• Hang advertisements in local health food store
• Place ads in local papers or the classified section
• Get invited onto local radio talk shows

Is this recognized by the AMA or FDA?

No. Neither organization recognizes BioWaves Sound Therapy as a valid medical technique. BioWaves is simply helping you experiment and research this revolutionary technique.

Why do some people who learn about this not decide to practice?

Here are some of the reasons we've heard:

• They discover that this is very hard work.
• They discover that we do not have a pat answer for every situation. This is, in fact, still an experimental technique being researched.
• They discover that it is difficult to market themselves and put themselves out into the public's eye.
• They discover that they need to take more time to care for themselves when they are exposed to frequencies all day
• They discover that they are overly sensitive to the sounds
• They discover that there are easier ways make money
• They discover that it is not easy to deal with other people's complaints all day.
• This can be done, and has been done... It's all in what a practitioner really wants to do.

Are there study groups I can join?

Yes, the vibrotherapy.com forum of sound practitioners we created for just this purpose. Please join, and introduce yourself to the group, or take some time, and read through the archives.

Where are classes being held?

We normally hold our classes in Seattle, however, we are willing to teach anywhere if you can gather at least 7 other students in your area. Check our our Events page to find our more about our upcoming classes.

What is the easiest way to get started?

We suggest that you start by purchasing the SEE Level 1 Home Study Course. This will introduce you to the field of sound therapy, and The Oneness Sound Assistant Software. After that, we suggest that you purchase the software system, and begin experimenting with yourself so you are ready to jump in with both feet when you come to a class.

Are there any guarantees?

No. This is an experimental technique. Success depends on your attitude and commitment, and willingness to experiment and do whatever is necessary to help the client.

Can I repeat a class?

Yes, students can repeat the class for up to one year for the cost of instructor fees.

Will I get a chance to experience a sound therapy session during the class?

Yes, with your fellow students. We require that students take time during the class to work with their fellow students to gain experience with this technology. The instructor is available to assist with any questions that may arise.

We hope to hear from you soon...
