Theta-Centric Sound Meditation is a meditation flow specifically designed to guide participants into powerful and restorative brainwave states. Upon receiving my Sound Practitioner training, I became more and more interested in learning how each sound instrument impacted the biorhythms of the human body. I then set out to combine my sound instruments in a specific order designed to take my clients deep into their Theta brainwave patterns as quickly and effortlessly as possible. When we enter a Theta brainwave state, a number of amazing physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual benefits occur. This state is often accessed during light sleep, deep relaxation, meditation, or moments of creative inspiration.
As I began providing large-scale sound meditations within my community, I found that meditators would regularly approach me at the end of the meditation and say something along the lines of: “I’ve been to several sound baths before, but I’ve never been so relaxed.” Or “This was, by far, my favorite sound bath! What are you doing differently?” After many, many exchanges similar to those, I became increasingly aware of the fact that my style and approach were not only effective, but also unique.
Here are just some benefits of theta brainwaves:
1. Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving
In the theta state, the mind is more receptive to insights, inspiration, and new perspectives. This relaxed state often leads to breakthroughs in thinking and creative problem-solving, as it bypasses the more logical, linear thought patterns of the beta state.
2. Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief
Theta waves encourage a profoundly relaxed state, which reduces stress hormones and allows the body to enter "rest and digest" mode. This can help lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and create an overall sense of calm and well-being.
3. Emotional Healing and Trauma Release
Theta brainwaves are linked to accessing subconscious memories and emotions. This state allows people to process, release, and heal unresolved emotional issues or traumas stored in the subconscious mind.
4. Improved Learning and Memory
Theta states improve the brain's capacity to absorb new information by putting it into a receptive "learning mode." This can enhance memory recall and retention, as well as help the brain form new neural connections associated with learning.
5. Increased Intuition and Insight
Many people report enhanced intuition and inner guidance when in a theta state. This is due to a more direct connection to subconscious insights, which are often less accessible in regular waking consciousness.
6. Greater Spiritual Connection
For those who engage in spiritual practices, theta waves are linked to the feeling of unity and connectedness with a higher power, nature, or self. Theta is often associated with deep meditation and transcendent experiences.
7. Enhanced Physical Healing and Recovery
Theta waves activate the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing the body to focus on repair, regeneration, and recovery. This deep relaxation can aid in physical healing, boost immune function, and improve overall health.
These benefits make theta states highly valuable for anyone looking to improve their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Sound meditation, and the brainwave entrainment it creates, can help individuals reach theta brainwave states more easily. It’s basically a brilliant mind hack that allows the client to experience brainwave states that are similar to those of expert meditators.

I truly loved taking the sound certification class with Laura. It was informative, educational, and uplifting. I loved the hands-on application. I also enjoyed experiencing the sound meditation as part of the training. We learned about each of the instruments and how to use them. The training manual has been an awesome resource that I refer to often. Laura provided excellent resources to purchase our own instruments. I have loved growing my little business since the training. Assisting people to achieve stillness and calm in their lives through vibration and frequency has been very rewarding. I highly recommend this course for those Interested.

Laura’s sound meditation training course was even better than I expected! Her passion for this work really inspires me. I appreciated her explaining the science behind sound waves and brain waves. Her Theta-centric line-up is very effective and clients are able to get into a deep meditative state quickly. She also dives into tuning forks and the science behind it. She teaches you how to use them with clients for their emotional and even physical release and healing. She sends you home with a book to refer back to and continue studying from. I use the book every time I do a session. It has been my guide as I train and learn. I highly recommend Laura’s course!!

I had a great experience taking Laura’s Sound Meditation training/certification in April 2024. Laura is deeply knowledgeable about many aspects of using sound as a healing tool as well as how to make a business of it, if that is your aim. Her personal story of how she found sound meditation in her own healing journey really informs her passion for this training and that passion really comes through in her teaching and makes it feel very approachable and relatable. Laura is incredibly supportive as a mentor and trainer and has made herself available post course for any and all questions or issues that arise as I have begun my journey in creating a business to bring sound mediation to more people. I highly recommend training with Laura. I think the personal touch she brings combined with her vast knowledge and experience as well as her generosity with giving her time in support of her students, makes her course so worthwhile as a place to begin your own sound journey!

I am filled with immense gratitude to Laura of Blackwell Collective for bringing the magic of sound healing into my life and being the world's best teacher. Thanks to her guidance, I can now offer the same transformative experiences to others.
Though I never considered myself a "musical person"—despite both of my birth parents being musicians—this beautiful path I found with Laura was unexpectedly powerful. I began working with her for Eye Movement Processing to heal my trauma, which was an amazing, life-changing experience. Soon after, I attended her sound baths and completely fell in love with their profound impact on my healing journey, both emotionally and physically.
Laura's unique and deeply healing Theta-Centric approach is incredibly soothing and restorative to the nervous system. The healing it brought into my life inspired me to train and certify with her to become a Sound Meditation Practitioner, and it was the best decision I've ever made. Her training was so in-depth—from theoretical foundations to intricate details and technicalities. She emphasizes the importance of intention and mindset as a healer and teaches how to radiate love to participants, providing them with the most comforting and immersive healing experience.
The results have been nothing short of extraordinary. It has been effortless, fluid, and joyful to step immediately into practice—from intimate, healing one-on-one sessions to leading large group sessions of 20 or more. The deep connections and the impactful stories of healing that participants have shared with me from my sound bath sessions are the most rewarding gifts I could ever ask for.
I am grateful beyond words to Laura and Blackwell Collective. If you seek healing and wish to spread joy, she is the teacher for you.

In fall of 2022 I joined a new Pilates studio that would be opening the following January. I saw they were offering yoga as well as meditation classes and that hooked me right away. I had already been really focusing on self care and meditation! I’d never heard of sound meditation before but was excited to try it. My first time I was instantly obsessed. I had such a profound experience and so many different emotions and feelings were released after just my first few sessions. I knew I had to learn more and find out how to use this amazing tool and spread the knowledge of this amazing practice!
Fast forward to February 2024, I dove in head first and haven’t looked back. I took a certification class with Laura, and even though our training was only a few short days, she really taught us everything about sound healing and how to get started. Not to mention the continuous support and mentorship. I never did any research on any other classe,s but I realized I didn’t need to. It turns out Laura’s class was exactly what I was looking for. I had a friend who took a class from someone else out of state (whp [aid more than double for tuition) and I ended up teaching her everything Laura taught me anyways!! And she paid so much more than I did with Laura, and yet didn't feel prepared after her training. Laura is the most amazing human, and honestly just wants to share the gift of sound healing with the world. So if you’re looking for someone to learn from, look no further because Laura is the best of the best.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn how to play sound bath instruments with Laura. The training for Theta-Centric sound meditation was educational and interactive, as well as intuitive. Laura gives you guidance and science-based information regarding the benefits of sound. Since her training, I have facilitated numerous group and individual sound baths, all of which I felt prepared for and received positive feedback. I would highly recommend Laura's training!
