What is Sound Healing? Sound healing is just what it sounds like; healing the mind-body-spirit with sound. There are several techniques which have been used in various cultures throughout the world for eons, including chanting, singing bowls, shamanic drumming, and more.

 

Shelby primarily uses tuning forks as a means for encouraging heightened meditative and relaxing states for healing to take place. Shelby received training for tuning forks from Sound Healing Academy, integrated with concepts learned through his extensive professional experience in classical and folk music, while also drawing from healing concepts obtained as a Substance Abuse Counselor. 

 

Shelby has trained in the Alexander Technique at the Heifetz International Music Institute, The Longy School of Music, and privately with master teacher Ruth Kilroy and for several years with certified AT instructor Mariel Brewster. Shelby utilizes this technique in performance practice and it is imbued into his education of string instrument instruction. It is also referenced when communicating how sound and movement heal body, mind, and spirit during sound healing sessions.
