Watkins Publishing Commissioning Editor Kelly Thompson discusses the behind the scenes of developing What is Sound Healing? with author and sound therapist Lyz Cooper. What is Sound Healing? is the second title in a new series of fresh, accessible mind, body, spirit guides, explores the fascinating phenomenon of sound healing, revealing what this term really means, how and why sound affects us as it does, and the immense power it has to enhance our lives in all kinds of amazing ways. Lyz Cooper, sound therapist and founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST), has been involved in holistic health since 1982, with sound therapy since 1994 and was the first person in the UK to formulate a therapeutic sound method which was officially recognised by the Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine (ICNM) in 1997. She has an MA in Education and an MSc in Applied Music Psychology, and in 2010 the ICNM recognised her work with a fellowship for her outstanding contribution to therapeutic sound worldwide. Lyz is co-founder of the Therapeutic Sound Association, whose aim is to raise awareness of the benefits of working with sound.
