“I’m so thankful and enormously grateful for Amanda for being a big influence on adding sound healing into my esthetics career! In May 2022 Amanda was a guest speaker at a esthetician retreat that I went to. I was really ecstatic that she was there, I’ve been following her on social for awhile and I couldn’t believe she took time out of her life traveled to Texas from California to teach us how to be sound healers. I didn’t know it was even a thing that could have be combined with esthetics. She was so gentle with allowing you to ask questions and incredibly intricate in the way she taught. I learned a lot about how the nervous system was a huge role in sound baths and the brainwaves. Amanda was even so kind and very trusting to let us practice on her instruments, to get a feel of how each instrument as a specific role and find out what our favorite instrument was. Ever since this and practicing sound healing with facials, it has opened up a piece of my heart that I can share and gift to others with just the simple act of sound and hold the space for them.”

“I met Amanda at a holistic esthetics retreat back in May and had the pleasure of experiencing her sound bath. It was my first sound bath and I was whisked away on a healing journey for my mind, body and soul. During the retreat she graciously allowed me to play her crystal bowls. I felt connected to it right away and she was incredibly helpful in showing me proper technique, the theory and science behind sound healing, plus other sound bath instruments. Amanda encouraged me to continue with the singing bowls in my craft. I really didn’t think too much into it until a few weeks after the retreat, something kept calling me back to those crystal bowls! I reached back out to Amanda to inquire about getting a set for myself and I’m so glad I did. She assisted me in getting my own set and was there for me every step of the way. She even included one of the coolest crystal figures in my package, a black obsidian raven. I love when small business owners put that extra special touch in everything they do and Amanda did just that. She continues to mentor me through my journey and I hope I get to experience her ethereal sound bath again someday. Thank you Amanda!”

“I had been wanting to incorporate sound healing into my facials for a while and found the perfect teaching in Amanda of Ethereal Sound Alchemy. Her instruction was thorough, both hands on and theory—I couldn’t believe how many instruments she brought! She was authoritative but fun, and very easy and comfortable to be around. The class was a full day and structured enough to fit everything in but loose enough to go with the flow of what transpired. As an esthetician I am often in classes with several participants, and it was so refreshing to have Amanda one on one. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to explore the incredible world of sound healing.”

“I received a full day training at a retreat, and loved the education on how to use the instruments correctly, and training on why sound matters, how sound can irritate or relax you depending on intent, choice on usage etc. I loved being able to mess around and get weird with it. We were able to play and try what we wanted to. I’m using it with clients who need help switching off when they arrive, and take them on a journey throughout their appointment if they want to try sound healing. And also to release holding patterns, moving energy. I was surprised and delighted by how many instrument sounds I loved. Amanda has a gift for integration of sound in a way that is cohesive and intuitive.”

“I had the wonderful opportunity of attending a 3- day sound healing retreat with Amanda. She was so warm and welcoming. I learned so much! I now have a much better understanding of musical instruments and how to incorporate them into my healing sessions with my clients. I would strongly recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking to learn sound healing. Hands down the best sound bath I've ever experienced!”

“This was my third sound therapy training I have taken because I really wasn't feeling confident with the education I received until being a student of Amanda's. I wish so badly I could have received the education and intention that Amanda extended so much earlier than I did but I trust the timing! It was just what I was needing to feel confident in myself and my offerings. Amanda is so incredibly knowledgable and patient. She truly took her time with explaining each instrument, sound healing history, principles, and nervous system interaction. I was also lucky enough to attend a sound bath from her and when I say I went to another dimension, I MEAN IT. Her sound was unlike any sound bath I have attended. I feel so grateful to of had our paths cross. I have left her training feeling more intune with myself and eager to intuitively shift my offering to better connect with my community.”

“I recently had the privilege of participating in the sound healing training led by Amanda Gonzales, the founder of Ethereal Sound Alchemy, and I was completely blown away. The thought and care Amanda put into this experience were evident in every detail.

Amanda’s ability to break down the effects of a dysregulated nervous system and teach us how to use sound to guide clients toward a state of balance was both inspiring and enlightening. I immediately felt a deep connection with Amanda and resonated with her unique teaching techniques, which seamlessly blend scientific understanding with the profound experiences of sound healing. Not to mention her Leo Sun and Libra Moon - it makes so much sense that she is able to create a sacred space that feels so special and beautiful :)

I loved having the opportunity to process all the information while being able to experiment and play all the different instruments and see what resonated the most. Amanda was so gracious with her time and paid extra care and attention to make sure all of us were comfortable with the instruments and playing correctly.

Learning from Amanda was an absolute privilege, and being part of this incredible group training was a truly transformative experience. I would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in sound healing or in supporting others on their healing journey.”

“Amanda was an incredible resource for our healing salon and so knowledgeable, giving and kind. Everyone had a wonderful time learning from her and felt supported during the process - and had a lot of FUN! Thank you Amanda for being accessible post-class for recommendations and additional resources as well! What a treat!”

“Sheesh! It's really challenging to find the words to describe the experience of Amanda's sound baths and sound therapy training sessions.
I've attended numerous sound baths over the past year, and Amanda stands in a league of her own🧚🏼‍♀️ She takes such a delicate and nervous system-centered approach. She began our sound bath with a soothing meditation, carefully selecting the sequence of sounds to create a journey where I felt safe to really relax and let go🥹
Her nurturing presence makes you feel genuinely cared for, as if she's holding space for each participant in a meaningful way!

Attending Amanda's sound bath training was equally amazing. She is a giving teacher, going beyond all the expectations I had! We went into the history of sound baths, explaining their effects on our well being, and even we received information to take home. The hands on experience with many different instruments really boosted my confidence to create my own sound baths at home. Amanda's dedication to her craft is so rare! if you are able to attend any of her sound baths or trainings, I absolutely urge you to go. She is really one of a kind!”
