When a tuning fork is used near the body, it delivers a precise mechanical vibration directly to the nervous system, fascia, and skeletal structure. Applying this stimulus effectively, requires systematic precision.

Rather than relying on subjective assessment, the BAST method utilises neuromuscular testing (kinesiology) as a practical biofeedback loop. This allows practitioners to objectively assess the body’s stress responses, select the exact harmonic intervals required to facilitate a deep relaxation response, and measure the physiological shift in real-time.

Are you struggling to get some space and time for you this summer?

Our research shows that just 4 minutes a day of listening to therapeutic music can be beneficial for health so head on over to our therapeutic music app and make the most of those quiet moments!

Our therapeutic music app Lifesonics is built exactly for this. The first 7 days are free of charge so head over there and have a listen. We'd love to know if it works for you.

Why Choose Sound Therapy?

Unlike traditional talking therapies, sound gives an outlet to emotions without words. It can be either a way to express feelings without having to physically speak them, or it can be something you experience without having to participate which appeals to many.

The BAST method of Sound Therapy uses gentle reflective therapy as well as sound to help people to address things that are affecting health and wellbeing, such as relationships, people, situations, past traumas and fears.

Our research has shown that it can be beneficial for stress related conditions, sleep, pain, anxiety, low mood and also to help people to work through issues that may create problems in their lives.

We understand that attending in person sessions doesn't suit everyone.

That is why our Practitioner Level Diploma in Sound Therapy is designed with two distinct pathways:

Blended Learning: Combining flexible home study, interactive virtual classrooms, and hands-on, classroom-based modules at the University of Chichester.

Distance Learning: A fully online pathway with extra live tutorials designed to bring BAST’s rigorous training directly to you.

Both pathways begin on 18th November. Securing your place during August allows you to step into the autumn knowing your next professional milestone is already beautifully mapped out. You can also split your payments across multiple months to make it more affordable.

Leading a successful group sound session is about far more than simply playing an instrument; it is about reading the room, designing a cohesive journey, and choosing the right sound tools to support a collective experience.

Our upcoming training equips you with the methodology to choose and combine instruments, such as gongs, Himalayan bowls, and crystal singing bowls, to craft experiences that leave participants feeling grounded, balanced, and restored.

With this intake starting very soon, we encourage you to take the next step in your professional development today.

If you live abroad or travelling to the University of Chichester isn’t feasible, you can choose to study from home on our distance learning options for most of our courses.

You’ll be required to attend live online sessions but the remainder of your course can be done in your own time. This helps those with other commitments or who are unable to travel.

This applies to all our courses excluding the Tuning Forks Course. See you online!

Sound has the unique ability to reach places words cannot. When paired with kinesiology and our client-centred reflective process, tuning forks become an invaluable tool for deep-seated emotional release.

In our professional diploma training, you will learn advanced techniques to support clients in reframing life-limiting beliefs, processing difficult emotions, and finding positive pathways forward.

This is tuning fork therapy taught with academic backing and clinical depth, designed for those who want to offer serious, transformative support to their clients.

True therapeutic sound work is about more than simply playing an instrument—it is an art, a science, and a deeply reflective process.

Over the course of the programme, you will learn to work with individuals and groups, mastering 3 to 4 major instruments from Gongs and Himalayan singing bowls to crystal bowls, voice, and drum.

True tuning fork therapy is not simply about letting a beautiful tone ring out. In the hands of a qualified practitioner, it is a highly precise, interactive dialogue with the body.

Our Practitioner Level Diploma in Tuning Fork Therapy teaches you how to combine specific sound frequencies with muscle testing (kinesiology). By using kinesiology as a tool, you will learn to accurately identify which frequencies are needed to encourage the body to respond positively and how to track your client's responses in real-time.
