PAST STUDENTS SAY…
“The whole experience was easy going, comfortable, and every lesson made me even more excited to learn more. The learning material was engaging and easy to understand. I would absolutely recommend this sound healing course along with all of the other services Akane provides! It helps that she is one of the sweetest, most authentic, and passionate human beings you’ll ever meet!”
—Sherie Penaflor, @mrs.penaflor
“Akane is truly inspiring with her deep passion for music and sound. After attending several of her sound baths, I became curious about sound bowls, and she generously offered one-on-one training. Akane shared the history and science of sound healing, while incorporating meditation techniques that prepared me to lead my own soundbath classes. The experience was transformative, unlocking new layers of healing that I can now share with others.
I highly recommend her if you're looking for a beautiful, calming, and restorative practice, an event or one-on-one training! She truly is a lovely individual!”
