It was so magical to join Karla’s Practitioner training and hold space together with all the wonderful woman who also attended. It is a wonderful experience to get to practice on the crystal bowls. You can automatically feel the strong but loving energy from the bowls. So I really recommend you join and be prepared to receive so many insights, inspiration and alignments.

I recently completed the sound healing practitioner training and it was an incredibly enriching experience. the course offered a deep dive into various aspects, from playing the crystal alchemy bowls and other instruments to understanding music theory and mastering the art of space holding. what made it even more special was the supportive group of women i shared this journey with, all of us connected by a shared passion. karla created a safe and open environment where we could ask questions, practice, and receive feedback. this allowed me to fully be myself and even face some personal challenges, knowing i was supported throughout. overall, this training was a powerful experience of learning, growth, and connection.

The sound practitioner training with Karla was truly magical. It thought me to be more in tune with myself and opened up so many creative channels and new possibilities. Karla is such a natural & powerful space holder. I immediately felt safe while being completely out of my comfort zone. I am so grateful for this experience and can’t wait to join level 2
