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 details 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.

Workplace Wellness, Naturally…❤️‍🩹🌳🎶

What if “Workplace Wellness” could take us Beyond the Office and into Nature? 🏢🌿🌤️

On September 16th, Mel Rio Sound and Reiki had the pleasure of bringing the Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio back to the beautiful New York Botanical Gardens New York Botanical Garden for a special outdoor workplace wellness experience.

Surrounded by greenery, fresh air, and the natural sounds of the garden, participants were invited to step away from their daily routines, slow down, and reconnect through the soothing sounds and vibrations of Drums, Singing Bowls, Chimes and other meditative instruments.

For many, it was their very first sound bath experience.

There’s something truly special and magical about bringing sound and nature together. An opportunity to pause, breathe, and simply be present in an outdoor setting.

Our Final Weekend at the New York Botanical Gardens is coming up this week!

Join us this Saturday and Sunday, October 10th & 11th, for our final “Sound Bath Circle” of the 2026 season at the New York Botanical Gardens!

📍 Haupt Conservatory Courtyard, NYBG | Bronx, NY

🗓 Saturday & Sunday, October 10-11

⏰ 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM (every 30mins. 2pm last session)

These gentle, drop-in sound bath experiences invite you to pause, relax, and reconnect with nature at your own pace. Come for a few moments or stay a little longer as the sounds of the singing bowls blend with the natural surroundings.

As the seasons begin to change, this is our last opportunity to gather in the Conservatory Courtyard for this year’s “Flower Power Exhibition”.

I hope to see you there! 🙏🏽💚

Find the “Sound Bath Circle” listed under the “Flower Power Programs” at the website for more information.

This past weekend 10/2-10/4 with ISTA just flew by..

The International Sound Therapy Association Conference was filled with wisdom, inspiration, and meaningful connection... a beautiful reminder of the power of sound and the community that brings it to life.

I left the conference feeling grateful, honored and blessed to be part of this sound healing community encouraging continued education and scientific research in sound.

Rain or shine, the annual Brides March will continue to hold a special place in my heart every September 26th. 👰🏻‍♀️🪧🎶❤️‍🩹🙏🏽

Yesterday we began at Holyrood Episcopal Church, welcoming the community with the sounds of trumpet, singing bowls and chimes. Together with , we created a peaceful space before the Brides March even began.

Throughout the day, a very special thank you to the team who safely transported me and the Mel Rio & The Singing Bowl Sound Bath Studio along the route so that I could meet the marchers at the different vigils and rest stops. Without their help, I would not have been able to offer sound and support to the community throughout the day. I am so grateful to them. 🙏🏽🤗

We ended the day back in community with sound bath offerings during the closing ceremony. Together with and , we came together as a special team of healers, creating a space to hold the grief, courage, remembrance and all the love carried throughout the day. Thank you both for sharing space, energy and care with me as we supported our community. 🤗❤️‍🩹😇

It is always an honor to be invited to support the annual Brides March. For the past few years, I have had the privilege of showing up alongside my friend, her family and this community in solidarity with survivors, their families and all those working to bring greater awareness to intimate partner violence and femicide.

A very special thank you to my friend Lethy Denise Liriano for continuing to invite me into this meaningful space, and for the work she and the Brides March community continue to carry forward year after year.

I’m forever grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of something much bigger than myself. 🙏🏽❤️
