Heather Interviewed about Sound Healing

So excited to announce that my interview with Daniel Coates from ‘The Sound Healing Podcast’ is now up and available. Daniel and I have a chat about sounds for healing in general, my sound healing ensemble Harmonic Project, and I also talk more about the work I do at Flinders Medical Centre, Adelaide, with the Sounds for Relaxation Program.

 

Love Heather 😀

Here’s a message from Daniel himself…

“This week on my Sound Healing Podcast I have a special guest, my very good friend and amazing Sound Healer and Singer/Songwriter Heather Frahn. Heather and I discussed many aspects of Sound in Healing including the use of Sound Healing in hospitals and studies that have been done on cellular responses to sound in humans. It was a fascinating interview I hope you enjoy it. (Will be on ITUNES soon, for now the link to my Website)
