Meet Alex
Founder
Hey! I’m Alex.
My path with sound healing began in 2019 when I bought my first gong and playing it daily transformed my life. I had been working in the entertainment industry for 6 years helping actors book work as a talent agent, but it was time for a change. I felt patterns rewiring as I deepened with the gong, and I knew I had to share vibration with the world.
In 2020 I founded Secret River Sounds, and ever since I’ve been facilitating sound baths to help people on their journey. Working in the healing arts have given me so much purpose and is incredibly rewarding. My mission is to help you do the same.
Who is this training for?
Anyone who wants to learn how to play gongs and use them in a therapeutic setting.

Individuals seeking a path of self employment and entrepreneurship.

FAQs
-
It’s my pleasure to guide you on your journey to selecting the right instruments for you! My approach to sound is centered around gongs, so gong technique is a big part of what I teach and the foundation of my personal set. However, alternatives are an option. We’ll be going over all the instruments I use and I’ll provide information on sourcing your instruments. Part of the course homework will include conducting an event with your instruments, so you will want to invest in some equipment once the training begins. We can hop on a discovery call before the training to discuss what this looks like for you.
-
Crystal bowls are beautiful and I love them! My personal set is centered around the gong, but yours doesn’t have to be. There is a video module that includes crystal bowls, how to play them, how to incorporate them with other instruments, mallet techniques and the best place to get your bowls.
-
The video modules will be provided to you on a weekly basis, and you can watch them at your own pace. We will also have 6 live zoom calls for discussion and Q&A. Attendance for the live zoom calls is generally required, but up to 2 of the sessions can be missed and you can view the recording later.
-
Absolutely! I had zero experience when I bought my first gong years ago. I’d never played a crystal harp or a drum. I had a limited musical background. Complete beginners are totally welcome here. In fact, you do not need any musical experience or to be a musician to take or benefit from this course. It’s specifically about using vibration in a therapeutic, relaxing nature. This is not a musical course.
-
Yes! This course goes over some basics, but it’s also a guide to expansion of your sound healing career. You may learn to incorporate new instruments you aren’t using yet or new techniques on instruments you already own. Beyond that, we’ll be discussing high quality client acquisition, how to build out retreats, templates for introducing yourself and your brand, newsletters, which software to use, collaboration with other facilitators and more. This is a great opportunity to expand your business if you’ve already started.
Registration closes May 13th.
