A Certificate Program for Medical and Holistic Health Care Providers
Presented by Moira Lo Bianco
Certified by the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute

The Sound Therapy Certificate Program
The Sound Therapy Certificate Program offered by Moira Lo Bianco focuses on two main principles:
1) the role of sound in the activation of the parasympathetic response
2) the impact of sound on the physical and the energetic bodies
Coursework covers ancient healing practices, specifically mind-body practices grounded in sound, that help the body and the mind to auto-regulate, fostering a sense of wholeness. These practices have been rediscovered by modern science, and include yoga and meditation, which are increasingly studied and recommended by scientific evidence.
In line with the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute tenets, the Sound Therapy Certificate Program presents sound as a healing art that is biologically oriented, aiming to activate the body’s intrinsic healing mechanism.
This certificate program is open to any healthcare provider who wishes to integrate sound therapy into their practice.
It is hands-on training, offering a comprehensive curriculum of three modules on different
