(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The Global Sound Practitioner Alliance (GSPA), in partnership with Life Changing Energy and the Brighter Healing Foundation, has named HP Sandi Santiago of Hampton, Virginia the recipient of the number three spot with the 2025 Emerging Light Award in the First Annual Sound & Energy Healer of the Year Contest.

This year's competition brought together 175 entrants across 12 countries and 40 U.S. states, generating more than 43,500 gallery views and 978,222 votes worldwide. Over $33,000 in prizes were awarded to recognize excellence and advancement within the sound and energy healing field. Paid votes also supported scholarships, wellness programs, and community initiatives through the Brighter Healing Foundation.

Reflecting on her experience in the contest, Sandi shared,“Being a part of a group of healers from around the world to bring awareness to our communities has really shown me how my community can support and love one of its own... It is such an amazing feeling sharing what I do and being seen by those that didn't understand... I was able to educate and serve those I feel would not otherwise entertain the idea of sound and energy healing in the past.”

This year, Sandi has focused a significant portion of her practice on working with animals, offering sound and energy healing to trauma-affected horses at Willow Woods Equine Sanctuary. Using tuning forks and gentle energy work, she supports both horses and handlers in experiencing more calm and connection.

One client noted,“I cannot express how helpful and wonderful Sandi's sessions have been. Not only has she assisted myself but has helped several horses and volunteers at the nonprofit horse sanctuary that I volunteer for... I highly recommend her to help you heal and feel your best.” - Crystal Woody

Other long-time clients highlight her role in pain relief, shadow and energy-field clearing, and spiritual development, crediting her with meaningful improvements in their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
