“Its What’s in the Moment, and What We Hold True, That’s What Really Counts”
Phil Jacobs, Founder, & CEO Toronto Sound Therapy, Integrative Vibrational Therapist
Philip Jacobs is a sound healer and vibrational therapist, and retired (12 Years in Clinical Practice) Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and acupuncturist based in Toronto. He has been using vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) and song for over 25 years and in his private practice for mental health, addictions and chronic illness.
Phil approaches sound therapy through a branch of Chinese medicine called medical qigong. This ancient form of Chinese medicine is a complete system of health care that identifies the root causes of symptoms, and treats the body and mind as a whole. It is often practiced as an adjunct to Western medicine, as it may treat people with conditions that Western medicine finds ambiguous. Where Western medicine looks at individual organs, Eastern medicine looks at organ systems, with organs as the central point of these main systems.
