Susan Vichick-Johnson

Founder of Sacred Sounds ATX

Susan Vichick-Johnson, LCSW, tries to move through the world in peace & joy. Her intention is to create spaces for healing, so that others may move through the world in Peace & Joy. She creates these spaces through integrating sound, meditation and if desired, psychotherapy. Although some types of meditation and mindfulness have been a part of her life since she was a teen, it was not until sound; specifically, the Tibetan bowls, found her that she was awakened to the power of sound & vibration, combined with meditation, for healing.

What our students are saying

Cate J.

This workshop was wonderful - from start to finish. Jessica and Susan created a safe space for learning and growth. I feel like I received so much more out of it than what I initially invested. I highly recommend The Sound Academy.

Kristin P.

My sound sessions with both Jessica and Susan were life changing- and I truly mean that! The experience is both relaxing and eye opening at the same time. I cannot recommend these sessions enough!
