Lyz Cooper
Lyz has been working in the complementary
health arena since 1981. She has been teaching since 1992 within both
mainstream and private adult education. In 2004 she graduated from
University with a Certificate in Education (Cert.Ed) and is now taking
a Masters Degree in Education researching the effectiveness of sound
on learning ability, social skills and the immune system.
In 1995 she began researching sound therapy and developed an effective
technique for improving health and well-being which focussed on diagnosing
energy imbalances by scanning the system with sound and balancing
the system using Himalayan bowls, voice (toning and overtoning) and
crystal bowls. This method is known as the BAST Method and is taught
at The British Academy of Sound Therapy which was founded by Lyz in
2000, becoming the first school in the UK to offer a professional
qualification in sound therapy. The BAST method training course is
a two year practitioner-level training with a high level of contact
teaching hours and student support.
Lyz is passionate about working with sound and she has also worked
with mantra, didgeridoo, drums, gong, tuning forks and many other
instruments. In 2007 she launched a second professional training course
which utilises other instruments such as gong, mantra, tuning forks
and drum as well as a range of sound essences that Lyz has developed.
This new qualification is a one year therapist-level training where
the student chooses three out of five modules to tailor make the ideal
training course for their needs. BAST is affiliated to the Institute
for Complementary Medicine, The British Complementary Medicine Association
and the Complementary Medical Association, giving anyone training
with us the best possible foundation upon which to base a successful,
thriving practice.
Lyz's work has produced excellent results and received positive support
from the media with features in magazines, newspapers, radio and television
in the UK and overseas. She is a consultant to the Institute for Complementary
Medicine and a member of the British General Council of Complementary
Practitioners, an organisation formed to represent the complex profession
of complementary medicine through elected and appointed representatives.
Lyz gives performances and runs talks, workshops and presentations
in the UK and overseas. Her workshops are highly experiential, offering
the participant an individual journey and the chance to work with
many ancient, modern and rare instruments. Choose from drum making,
voice, women's empowerment shamanic retreats, Peruvian whistling vessel
sittings and the popular 'Sonic Alignment' workshops which often include
private sessions within sacred sites such as Stonehenge or the White
Spring in Glastonbury.
Lyz has also composed two CD's - Chakra Balance and Crystal and Stone
- and performs with her group, Soundscapes, in wonderful locations
such as Stonehenge. In June 2006 Soundscapes released their first
CD Emergence which has received excellent reviews.
