Peter Hess®
Sound Massage Academy USA
In 1984, the former physical technology engineer, Peter Hess, began to develop what today is referred to as the Peter Hess Sound Massage and Sound Methods. In his search for alternative healing methods, he traveled on more than one occasion to India, Nepal, and Tibet where he was introduced to healing with sound. Investigations and experiments on the effect of traditional music on the human mind and body form the basis for sound massage. In the course of many years of practice he has adapted this knowledge to people in Western cultures. The result of this work is the Peter Hess-Sound Massage.
