Mel Rio & The Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio

Mel Rio & The Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio Founded by Mel Rio as a space dedicated to promote and educate the use of Himalayan Singing Bowls for Sound and Vibrational Healing.

As of September 14th 2025, Mel Rio and The Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio will no longer be located at the Land of Buddha. After September 1st, only a limited amount of small group sound baths will be performed at this location. After September 14th, there will be no more available sound baths until further notice. We hope to find a new host location and resume services soon. Stay tuned for more d

etails and future events. Mel Rio is the founder, owner and sole practitioner of the Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio, LLC. Mel Rio is a certified Sound and Vibrational Healing Practitioner from both the "Atma Buti Sound & Vibrational School" and "The Singing Bowl & Sound Institute of New York". Mel Rio is also a certified Usui Reiki Master and Crystal Reiki Healer. While experimenting with Sound Healing, Sound & Vibration Massage Therapy, Usui Reiki and Crystal Energy Healing, she created and practices what she now calls "Sonic Crystal Reiki". "Sonic Crystal Reiki" is a unique healing modality which combines Sound Healing, Sound Vibrational Therapy with Reiki and Crystal Energy Healing. Sound Healing instruments used by Mel Rio during a session are Antique Tibetan and Himalayan Singing Bowls, the Buffalo Drum, The Gong, Japanese Rin bowls, Tibetan Tingshas and Koshi Wind Chimes. Included with the "Sonic Crystal Reiki" Sound Bath experience is a Reiki + Energy healing Crystal Body Layout created individually for each client, where the crystals are placed to work directly on/around the body, targeting each Chakra, to assist in healing in combination with the sound and vibrational instruments during the session. The Sound Bath experience with Mel Rio becomes more than a relaxing sound bath meditation. The client will be immersed in both Sound and Vibrations, which will feel like they are massaging the entire body and surrounding energy fields. Blockages and stagnant energy will be cleared, Tension and Pain released, while Healing Crystals help bring balance and harmony to the energy fields/chakras, targeting specific mental, emotional and physical healing intentions. The Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio, LLC. was created to be a Sacred Sound Healing Space intended to educate and promote the use of Antique Tibetan and Himalayan Singing Bowls as sound and vibrational healing tools used during sound baths and meditations. Antique Tibetan and Himalayan Singing Bowls are different from other sound healing instruments in that they can be played around the body, showering the body with sound. As well as placed and played in various ways directly on the body, massaging the body with both sound and vibrations. Most Antique Tibetan and Himalayan Singing Bowls are also multiphonic, which means that they produce several musical notes at the same time when played, which is beneficial and ideal for obtaining a meditative state and healing experience.

We’re bringing the back to the in NYC with a new sound healing series in April: 6 nights of “Sonic Sound Baths”

Join us for an evening of deep healing and gentle restoration. Guided by immersive vibrations and meditative tones made from Singing Bowls, this session invites you to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with your body through sound and vibration.

The Sonic Sound Bath emphasizes direct vibrational application with sound. Singing bowls are placed and gently played on top of the body, creating a form of therapeutic Sound Massage. Focus is given to the lower body energy centers (chakras), including the root, sacral, solar plexus and heart chakras, using corresponding singing bowls and sound frequencies to balance, encourage grounding, release stored tension and emotions, and support nervous system regulation.

The physical resonance and somatic integration of the singing bowls allows participants to feel sound not only around them, but deep within their bodies.

This will be a 2 hour intensive healing sound bath experience where attendees will receive sound therapy from many sound healing instruments. Each group session will max out at 7 people so that more personal attention can be given to each attendee. Group sessions will remain small to ensure a safe and proper space for healing.

No meditation experience is required. All you have to do during the session is try to relax and be open to receiving the sounds and vibrations.

When:
April 7-12, 7:00-9:00 PM

Where:
Fou Gallery
89 5th Ave, 7th floor
NYC (near Union Square)

Limited spots still available. Register via link in bio

A Sacred Sound Healing Space dedicated to Singing Bowls

Mel Rio, Sound and Vibrational Healing Practitioner, is certified from both the "Atma Buti Sound & Vibrational School" and "The Singing Bowl & Sound Institute of New York". While also being a certified Usui Reiki Master and Crystal Reiki Healer, she likes to combine the different healing modalities to create what she now calls "Sonic Crystal Reiki".

"Sonic Crystal Reiki" is a unique healing modality created by Mel Rio which combines Sound and Vibrational Healing with Crystal Energy Healing and Reiki. She mostly uses high vibrational musical instruments like the Tibetan Singing Bowls and the Buffalo Drum, while placing Chakra Healing and Reiki infused Crystals on the body.

The Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio, LLC. has a new location in New York City, near Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan. The Studio was created to be a sacred sound healing space intended to educate and promote the use of Tibetan Singing Bowls as vibrational and sound healing tools during sound bath meditations. Tibetan Singing Bowls are different than other sound healing instruments in that they can be played around the body and also placed directly on the body for a more intense vibrational healing experience.
