TESSA UN Ltd
Founded by Tessa Ann from The Sound Healing Spa, based in Northern Ireland, UK
Our therapeutic sound courses promote ‘The Essence of Sound Space Awareness’ encouraging you to explore your connection with yourself and your environment through sound.
Through this exploration you learn how to interpret the cues arising from sound vibration and how it interacts with the body and the bio-energy field.
When you develop the skills to recognise these cues and what they mean you are able to apply these skills to your own personal development and to working with your clients in a therapeutic sound context.
The Essence of Sound Space Awareness
At the heart of TESSA UN Ltd’s training is an approach described as Sound Space Awareness.
This approach invites learners to explore their relationship with sound by attending to:
listening and perception
bodily and sensory response
context and environment
timing, pacing, and presence
Rather than teaching fixed interpretations or techniques, Sound Space Awareness encourages careful attention to how sound is experienced and how meaning arises through listening.
About TESSA UN Ltd
TESSA UN Ltd is a sound education and professional development organisation founded by Tessa Ann, based in Northern Ireland, UK.
The work of TESSA UN Ltd centres on listening-led approaches to therapeutic sound, supporting people to explore how sound is perceived, experienced, and engaged with — personally, professionally, and in learning contexts.
Learning Through Experience
Through experiential and reflective learning, participants are supported to:
notice responses that arise when engaging with sound
develop awareness of how sound interacts with the body and environment
cultivate discernment and sensitivity in sound-based practice
These skills may inform personal inquiry and, where appropriate, professional contexts — always guided by listening, responsibility, and ethical awareness.
