Jamie Bechtold & Robert Lee
With their unique and inspiring journey, Jamie Bechtold and Robert Lee bring together over 45 years of collective experience in sound wellness and fitness. This journey has culminated in creating this Group Soundbath Player™ (GSP™) certification course and the first sound bath venue in Los Angeles, The Soundbath Center (opened in 2015). Their joint efforts have established them as pioneers in the field and led to the inception of the first Soundbath Practitioner Training in Los Angeles, California, in 2017. This initiative marked a significant milestone in setting new standards for professional sound bath education, showcasing their unwavering commitment to excellence in the field of sound wellness.

In her career, Jamie has played around 4,000 public group sound baths and taught hundreds of students since she began teaching about sound in 2011. This wealth of experience has allowed her to meticulously craft playing techniques that achieve the desired effects in her listeners, which she now shares in the Group Soundbath Player™ certification course.
Robert Lee brings a wealth of experience from the fitness and wellness sector, dating back to 1997. With over 25 years of experience in the fitness industry and over a decade of teaching breathwork, his expertise seamlessly enriches the training with a unique blend of wellness and fitness insights.

Jamie and Robert's collaboration has birthed a comprehensive course beyond theoretical aspects. It strongly emphasizes practical experience and the cultivation of techniques designed to enhance the quality of group sound bath events. By continuously refining their curriculum, they aim to provide a dynamic learning experience that instills a deep understanding of sound bath fundamentals, including music theory and the strategic use of various instruments for therapeutic effects. This training is carefully crafted to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct effective and engaging sound baths, thus paving their way to professional success.
