The Academy exists to protect the standard of the work—not simply grow the number of humans doing it.
The standard
You are being trained to facilitate—responsibly.
You are being trained to facilitate responsibly: to understand your instruments, read the room, respect the limits of your role and create conditions in which humans remain in choice.
Technique matters. Discernment matters more. The person in front of you matters most.
Two ways to train
The same Academy. A different pace.
Both routes are taught in person, only at REGULATE Studio. Both are held to the same standard. Choose the rhythm that lets you learn well.
01
The spacious route
10-week programme.
Learning unfolds across ten weeks, creating room to practise, reflect, return with questions and let technique become embodied.
Understand what sound is doing, how vibration travels and where evidence ends and assumption begins.
02
Instruments & technique
Build confident, intentional technique across instruments, frequencies, volume, rhythm and silence.
03
The nervous system
Learn how state, capacity and sensory input shape the way a person may receive a sound experience.
04
Safety & contraindications
Know when to adapt, when to pause and when sound is not the appropriate intervention.
05
Trauma-informed practice
Create choice, reduce pressure and hold an environment without chasing a dramatic response.
06
Boundaries & ethics
Facilitate without diagnosing, rescuing or making promises that do not belong in the room.
07
Session architecture
Design a coherent experience for 1:1, group and specialist settings—with purpose behind every decision.
08
Practice & integration
Plan, facilitate, receive feedback and leave with a way of working that is genuinely your own.
Practise
Learning made real
You will not leave with a script to copy.
You will learn to make decisions: what to play, when to stop, how to adapt, how to use silence and how to respond when the room does something unexpected.
Technique is practised. Sessions are planned. Facilitation is observed. Feedback is direct, thoughtful and usable.
Your work should sound like you—held by a professional standard.
For existing practitioners
The Academy can count as CCE.
If you are already qualified and want to deepen your facilitation, sound practice or nervous-system awareness, the Academy experience can be undertaken as Continuing Coach Education.
Speak to Tia before enrolment so the route and learning hours can be considered against your existing professional requirements.
Tia Harris spent 15 years in education before building a practice in sound, energy and nervous-system support. The Academy brings both worlds together: clear teaching, high standards and the human reality of holding space.
This is guidance from lived experience—not guru culture. Questions are welcomed. Discernment is expected. You are taught how to think, not what to repeat.
The experience
Small by design.
01
Maximum four
Enough humans for real group learning. Few enough for every person to be seen, heard and observed.
02
Your Academy manual
A structured resource to support the teaching, practical work and your continued development.
03
Practice with feedback
Time to use the instruments, make decisions, facilitate and receive feedback you can act on.
04
REGULATE Studio
Every Academy takes place in the environment where this work is practised—not in a generic training room.
