A highly personalised route to professional sound therapy practice
The UKASTA Private 1:1 Practitioner Pathway offers the complete Sound Therapy Level 1 & Level 2 journey through a combination of flexible online learning and exclusive one-to-one practical training with UKASTA founder, Jessica Sloyan.
Created for those who value individual attention and a more immersive learning experience, this private pathway gives you the space to develop your practice at your own pace, with two full days dedicated entirely to you.
You'll complete the same professional pathway and assessment requirements as our group-based Practitioner Pathway, while benefiting from a level of individual tuition, feedback and support that can only be achieved through private training.
Your private learning journey
Your experience begins with a private welcome consultation video call with Jessica.
This gives us an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your existing experience and aspirations, explore how you hope to use sound therapy professionally and make sure you feel completely confident about the pathway ahead.
You'll then progress through your Level 1 online learning at your own pace, with direct tutor support available throughout.
Before meeting in person, you'll have a second private consultation with Jessica. This is an opportunity to review your progress, discuss any questions arising from Level 1 and identify areas you'd particularly like to focus on during your practical training.
Your journey then moves into two full days of private Level 2 Advanced Practitioner training, with the teaching pace and practical experience tailored around you.
Two days. One practitioner. Your development.
Your private Level 2 training gives us the time and space to go deeper.
You'll work extensively with the UKASTA professional instrument collection, developing your technique and therapeutic application across tuning forks, one-to-one sound therapy, advanced crystal singing bowl techniques, gongs, therapeutic layering and the creation and delivery of complete sound therapy experiences.
Without the constraints of a group timetable, there is time to repeat techniques, explore questions as they arise and spend longer on the areas most relevant to your own developing practice.
You'll receive individual feedback throughout, allowing you to refine both your technical skills and your confidence as a practitioner.
