Manolis Zografakis

Sound Therapist

Manolis Zografakis has been working with sound as a therapeutic practice for over nine years, offering sessions, training programmes, and wellness collaborations across Greece and internationally. He is a certified member of the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA) and the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), and a trained practitioner in Breathwork, Pranic Healing, and Theta Healing.

His relationship with sound began long before his therapeutic work. After studying classical guitar, he performed in bands, produced electronic music, and released his solo album Blue in 2008, whose track Have a Nice Trip received radio airplay and was featured in the Village Roadshow film Alter Ego. While working as a radio producer and DJ in Athens, he turned to meditation as a way to find inner balance, gradually deepening his interest in healing-oriented practices.

In 2011 he completed an MA in Arts Administration and Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths, University of London. Some years later, having relocated to Berlin, a sound bath experience became a quiet but significant turning point. He began apprenticing with his mentor Eléna Sofia Melnishca, co-facilitating sessions and developing a grounded understanding of sound therapy in group settings.

Seeking a broader perspective, he travelled across Southeast Asia, studying sound and energy-based practices in different cultural contexts. In Kathmandu, Nepal, he trained in traditional Tibetan singing bowl methods under Master Shree Krishna Shahi, and continued his studies with institutions including the Sound Healing Academy, the Peter Hess Institute, and the Chiang Mai Holistic Wellness Center. His meditation practice deepened through multiple 10-day Vipassana retreats in Nepal and Myanmar.

Since 2016 he has been offering one-to-one sessions and group sound experiences in Germany, Greece, India, and Nepal. He now works from Chania, Crete, travelling internationally for sessions, residencies, and training programmes.

Through Sound Healing Greece he leads an IPHM-accredited four-level training curriculum for wellness practitioners, therapists, yoga teachers, and hospitality teams. More than 100 practitioners have trained through this programme to date.

His work in hospitality includes ongoing collaborations with Daios Cove, W Costa Navarino, Domes Resorts, JW Marriott, Aquila Hotels, and other luxury properties, designing sound experiences and training programmes integrated into their wellness offerings.

He has presented his work at TEDxAthens and at the international Flow! Summit, a global platform whose faculty has included Gabor Maté, Joe Dispenza, Eckhart Tolle, and Bruce Lipton.

His approach brings together Western understanding of nervous system regulation and the physiology of sound with Eastern perspectives that view the body as an interconnected system of energy, awareness, and flow. At the heart of it is a simple intention: to create a grounded and supportive space where sound, breath, and stillness can help people rest, reconnect, and return to themselves.
