Lea Garnier

Lea Garnier has worked in the healing arts for over 25 years and is an established practitioner in the field.  She is the Director of Sage Academy of Sound in Woodstock, NY which she founded in 2007. She is an Upledger trained Craniosacral Therapist, practicing since 1990.  She is a certified yoga instructor trained in the Desikachar lineage.  Lea is a student of the shamanic arts which inspired her ongoing interest in therapeutic sound for healing, which led to the organization in 2010 of the first annual comprehensive Sound Healing retreat in the northeast, The Sound Healing Retreat Intensive.  Now in its 15th year, it is an ongoing platform created specifically for the pioneers of sound healing to come together and share their knowledge and wisdom,  often resulting in deeply transformational experiences for participants.

Due to its massive appeal, and to meet the demands  of this emerging healing modality, Sage created The Sound Healing Certification Program in 2013. The program focuses on the fundamental areas of sound healing and caters to an international audience of practitioners working in the healing arts.  In 2013 Gong Camp, with 91-year-old master Don Conreaux was created.  In 2014 Lea created an innovative program integrating sound healing and various styles of yoga, specifically Yin and Vinyasa.  This grew into a teacher training called The Yoga of Sound, a Nada Yoga Retreat.
