Sound Healing with Darren

Darren Austin Hall, D.Ac. is an Integrated Health Practitioner who specializes in Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Sound Healing and inspired living. A graduate of the esteemed Institute of Traditional Medicine where he received his Diploma in Acupuncture and learned under teachers, shamans, indigenous elders from around the world (and even a Druid!), Darren brings a dynamic, holistic approach to his practice drawing from many diverse traditions to help his patients in the many colourful ways cultural evolution has developed. A

long with his domestic studies, Darren studied Kung Fu and a form of standing meditation called Qigong in China for two years where he worked as an English teacher. Darren also has a certificate in Creative Transformation Therapy that he received after completing a two-year intensive with eminent psychotherapist and 'American Shaman', Bradford Keeney, who imparted to him the powerful tradition of Shaking Medicine used by the Bushmen of the Kalahari, perhaps the most ancient healing practice in human history. Darren is also a passionate educator and published writer on health and spirituality and performs sound healing shows under the guise SHEN (Sound Healing ENergy) using quartz crystal singing bowls and mantra with the Chakra model to show people that the best antidepressant is music. He has also worked as a volunteer for the PWA (People With Aids) clinic and is currently in the midst of a two year clinical intensive with eminent Chinese Medicine vanguard, Lonny S. Jarrett.



When Darren isn't waking people up to the incredible healing potential that we all have within us, he can be found plucking his guitar while singing love songs to Mother Earth, staring lovingly at plants and trees with ever new found wonder and encouraging people to include 'qi' in their daily vocabulary (qi is a central Chinese Medicine concept and that has been loosely translated as 'vital energy' or 'life-force', though Darren likes to leave it open to interpretation. It is the reason acupuncture works miracles!). Darren is passionate to serve all people in the realm of health and help them create lives of artful beauty. As he constantly decries: 'You are what you are searching for!'
