Practitioner Development

This Level 2 pathway supports experienced practitioners who already work with people in a professional or facilitated capacity, and who wish to deepen their relationship with sound beyond foundational awareness, moving into more intentional, embodied, and relational sound practice.

Building on the listening-led foundations established in Level 1, this stage of study explores how sound is played, held, and responded to in live contexts, with greater attention to facilitation, embodiment, and ethical responsibility.

Rather than focusing on technique acquisition, Level 2 supports practitioners to develop:

Sensitivity and discernment when offering sound to others

Embodied presence when working with individuals or groups

Confidence in pacing, response, and relational awareness

Responsibility for how sound is received and experienced

Level 2 is suited to practitioners who:

Are already working with people in a professional capacity

Wish to deepen their embodied and relational engagement with sound

Are ready to move beyond foundational listening into facilitated practice

This stage of learning may include embodied learning systems and reflective frameworks (such as The Sound Oracle) to support depth, interpretation, and responsiveness in practice.

This pathway is offered as bespoke practitioner development and does not, on its own, qualify participants as therapeutic sound practitioners.

Format & Investment

Embodied Sound Practice (Level 2) is offered as bespoke practitioner development, shaped around the individual and the context in which they work.

Study is typically held across four one-to-one sessions, allowing time for embodied exploration, reflection, and integration between sessions.

Sessions may be offered:

Live online via Zoom, or

In person where appropriate

As this work is highly individual and mentoring-led, investment is discussed by enquiry.

Please contact Tessa Ann to explore suitability, session structure, and pricing.

Professional Recognition

Participants receive a Certificate of Completion confirming participation in Embodied Sound Practice (Level 2).

CPD Alignment - Elements of this course align with CPD-certified learning from The Art & Practice of Listening and a foundational, listening-led playing module within our Sound for Wellbeing programme and Sound Oracle Embodied Sound Practice.

Where appropriate, CPD hours may be confirmed by agreement for professional records.

This pathway supports practitioner development and reflective practice. It does not, on its own, confer qualification as a therapeutic sound practitioner.

Progression

For some practitioners, this pathway may naturally open into further study, extended mentoring, or diploma-level training, where appropriate and by mutual agreement.

Practitioner Reflection

"My one to one sessions with Tessa were instrumental in progressing and building my confidence in using sound in my offerings which include yoga classes and workshops. The sessions were so much more than sound - Tessa helped me work through any doubts or concerns and the sessions were tailored to what I needed. I left each session feeling inspired and motivated. Tessa is authentic in her approach and guidance and everything a mentor should be".
