About Us
Sound Healing Project was founded by Erica Nguyễn, a San Francisco-based certified Sound Practitioner. Her path began in Nepal, where she trained in Tibetan bowl sound healing and therapy, and deepened through study with Gong Master Mike Tamburo, Sound Meditation Presents, Dr. Paul Hubbert of Holographic Sound Healing, and the Globe Institute. As a 200RYT yoga teacher, she weaves Asana and Dhyana into every sound journey for deep relaxation and bliss.
Equity and inclusion are the reason this project exists. Erica built Sound Healing Project to bring sound medicine and yoga teachings to communities that rarely get access to them — youth, seniors, individuals in recovery, dementia patients, and underserved populations — as pathways back to one's true self.
Today, Sound Healing Project hosts immersive sound baths and meditations at yoga studios, schools, community spaces, nonprofits, and private events, holding an inclusive space for anyone to experience the healing power of sound and mindfulness.

Mike Tamburo — 5-Day Gong Training. Erica studied with Gong Master Mike Tamburo in Gong Dynamics, a five-day immersive exploration of gong music for all levels. The training centered on the relationship between player, gong, and mallet — active listening, tonal expression, dynamic range, and both spontaneous and composed playing — giving her tools for fluid transitions, nuanced timing, and expressive dynamics in solo and collaborative settings.
9ways Academia — Advanced Gong Training. Erica spent five days at the renowned Gong Camp at 9ways Academia, studying with Mitch Nur, PhD, Mike Tamburo, Michael Bettine, and Thomas Orr Anderson — teachers representing over five decades of collective experience. The camp offers advanced study in gong philosophy, playing technique, and performance artistry, and is among the most respected gong education gatherings in the world.
Level 1 and Level 2 certifications from YogPlan Yoga Academy in Bhaktapur, Nepal. Erica studied Vedic and Tibetan sound healing and therapy techniques using Tibetan singing bowls under Vivek Paudel (E-RYT 500) and Dr. Chintamani Gautam (E-RYT 500).
Erica completed the 100-hour Summer Intensive Sound Healing and Therapy Program in Sausalito, CA, studying under Silvina Vergara, Lis Addison, Lisa Rafel, and Randy Masters.
A sound bath training course taught by Guy Douglas and Simona Marie Asinovski of Sound Meditation Presents — creators of The Sound Healing Symphony, which began in San Francisco in 2015 and has become the largest sound bath in the country.
Erica is certified in Levels 1 and 2 of the HSH Training taught by Dr. Paul Hubbert. Holographic Sound expands sound and music vibration into its sacred geometric, multidimensional, and infinite form, revealing the true and natural state of the sound.
A certified 200-hour yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance, having graduated from House of Om in Ubud, Bali. Erica has studied Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga, and is passionate about helping others slow down, breathe deeply, and rest mindfully.
Erica completed a 14-hour experiential introduction to the Hakomi Method led by Julia Corley (Certified Hakomi Therapist & Trainer, LCMHC, LMBT) — a somatic approach to psychotherapy grounded in mindfulness, nonviolence, and mind-body wholeness. Hakomi treats the body as a map of the psyche, using breath, posture, and tension to gently surface unconscious patterns and core beliefs. This training directly informs the somatic awareness she brings to her sound healing practice.

Testimonials
Real Stories, Real Impact
“Erica is an excellent and grounding facilitator that provides everyone with the space they need to enjoy and get the most out of the sound bath, even if that means a super power nap. I had a powerful healing experience the first one I attended and have been to many since, each very fulfilling. She incorporates lots of different sound improvisations that sets her apart from other healers. Highly recommend!”
Daniel Allen“Our company sought a wellness experience for our annual retreat. We're so glad that we found our way to Erica and Sound Healing Project. This was a new experience for many of us; However, Erica endeavored to construct a safe space through her authenticity, warmth, enthusiasm for her craft and its healing potential. Many who may have been initially hesitant opened themselves to the experience and walked away more balanced. Erica was available to our group after the performance and provided instruction and context to her work. The overwhelming feedback that we received from our team was that Erica provided a basis to continue exploring sound and mindfulness practices and many of us will seek out Erica again for that purpose.”
Steven Chandler“I have done many sound baths and generally, I actually tend to spiral in my head MORE than if there wasn't a sound bath going on. Erica is the only one who has actually brought me to a meditative and peaceful state during her sound baths. She incorporates so much variety of sound and it's incredibly relaxing and beautiful.”
Stacy Brogan“Erica's sound baths transport you to a space of complete relaxation and tranquility. She utilizes a wide variety of instruments to create sounds of intention that will deeply resonate with your mind, body and soul. At one of her sound baths, I was in a state of total relaxation. I am a nurse and the job can be physically, mentally and emotionally taxing. I left the session feeling so refreshed and rejuvenated! Erica's extensive knowledge and expertise as a sound healer is evident. I can't wait to come back for more!”
