“I had a fabulous day. Emily is extremely knowledgeable with everything sound, and I felt very well informed (and extremely relaxed) by the end of the day!! There was theory in the morning, followed by a sound meditation and then after lunch a time to play with all her instruments!! I would highly recommend her and will definitely be attending her practitioner training next year.”
