Welcome to UKASTA

UKASTA is the UK Academy of Sound and Therapeutic Arts, a CMA Registered Training School dedicated to raising professional standards in sound therapy and wellness education.

Our CMA Accredited Sound Therapy Practitioner Certification has been designed to provide a strong foundation in therapeutic sound, combining evidence-informed theory, practical application and professional best practice for today's wellness practitioners.

Whether you are a spa therapist, yoga teacher, holistic practitioner or wellness professional, our programmes are designed to equip you with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to integrate sound safely and meaningfully into your work.

At UKASTA, we believe that exceptional sound therapy is about far more than playing instruments. It is about understanding people, holding space with professionalism and compassion, and creating experiences that genuinely support wellbeing.

The Academy was founded by Jessica Sloyan, a wellness professional with more than 25 years' experience within the international spa and wellness industry.

Beginning her career as a personal trainer and therapist, Jessica progressed through every level of luxury spa operations, giving her a unique understanding of both the therapist's role and the complete guest journey. This practical experience now underpins the philosophy behind every UKASTA programme.

Today, Jessica serves as a Board Member of the UK Spa Association and works internationally as a senior spa consultant for one of the world's leading luxury skincare and spa brands. She supports prestigious hotels and destination spas in elevating guest experiences, developing treatments, delivering therapist education and shaping wellness strategies across international markets.

UKASTA was created to bridge the gap between traditional sound therapy training and the standards expected within today's professional wellness industry.

Our vision is simple: to educate safe, confident and highly skilled practitioners who combine knowledge, compassion and professionalism to deliver meaningful sound therapy and wellbeing experiences across the global wellness sector.
