Hema Sounds / Marisa Tighe

I am sound therapist. I have a BSc Degree in Psychology from University College London and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. After 30 years experience as a specialist teacher and education consultant, I completed an active research Masters at Sussex University. Then, as part of my personal self-care, a good friend suggested I try a sound bath to relax . It had a profound affect on me and inspired me to explore how sound might benefit the children and adults I was working with at the time. I was amazed to discover that by simply drawing upon this brief experience of sound therapy and my meditation and mindfulness practices, I saw striking changes in the children’s ability to communicate and think creatively after just half an hour of immersion in sounds. As a result, I decided to train to be a Sound Therapist with the Sound Healing Academy. I completed the Level 2 Practitioner Diploma in Integral Sound Healing accredited by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) and now have a studio in Lewes, East Sussex.
