A Sanctuary for Sound

Alchemy Sound Studio was born from a deeply personal conviction: that sound, when approached with reverence and integrity, has the power to transform lives.

Founded by Irina Sterna, the studio began as a single resonance — one Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl, one moment of profound recognition — and grew into a sanctuary dedicated to the art and practice of crystalline sound. What started as a personal calling became a space where others could discover the same depth of connection.

We are not a shop. We are not a showroom.
We are a living space devoted to frequency, presence, and the transformative potential of vibrational healing.

Every element of Alchemy Sound Studio — from the bowls we curate to the trainings we offer — is rooted in a single intention: to provide access to the healing power of sound with integrity, care, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Authorized Crystal Tones Curation

At the heart of Alchemy Sound Studio is a carefully curated collection of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls — the original crystal singing bowls, handcrafted by Crystal Tones in the United States.

We do not carry mass-produced instruments. We do not stock what is convenient or commercially efficient. Each bowl in our collection has been individually selected — often discovered at gatherings like the Tucson Gem Show — for its tonal clarity, energetic signature, and vibrational integrity.

This is curation, not inventory. Every bowl that enters our studio has been listened to, felt, and chosen with the same devotion we bring to our practice.

Why Crystal Tones

In a market increasingly filled with copies and imitations, we work exclusively with Crystal Tones because their bowls carry the original frequency. Founded by Paul Utz and Lupito, Crystal Tones pioneered the alchemical process of infusing quartz crystal with precious metals, gemstones, and minerals — creating instruments that are not merely beautiful but profoundly resonant.

These are not products. They are vessels of consciousness — each one a unique piece of art, carrying both beauty and vibrational potency. If you are curious about what distinguishes Crystal Tones from other brands, or how crystal singing bowls compare to Tibetan bowls, we invite you to explore these reflections.

As an authorized Crystal Tones destination in Europe, we offer one of the continent’s most comprehensive collections — including rare Supergrade Alchemy Bowls — with over 200 bowls available for exploration. Free insured shipping throughout Europe ensures that distance is never a barrier to finding the bowl that resonates with you.

Guidance from Lived Experience

What sets Alchemy Sound Studio apart is not a catalogue — it is the depth of lived experience behind every recommendation, every training, and every conversation.

Irina Sterna’s journey with sound spans over fifteen years of dedicated practice. Drawing from Sound Therapy, Nada Yoga, Bhakti, Breathwork, Meditation, and Reiki, she brought Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls to Germany and built a community around the belief that sound healing is not a trend — it is a discipline with lineage, depth, and responsibility.

When we guide you toward a bowl, we speak from embodied practice. When we teach, we share what we have lived — not theory absorbed from a textbook, but wisdom gathered through thousands of hours of ceremony, practice, and deep listening. This is why we work exclusively with Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls — because integrity is not negotiable.

A Relationship, Not a Transaction

Choosing an Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl is an intimate process. It is an investment in your practice, your wellbeing, and your relationship with sound.

That is why we offer free discovery calls, private bowl viewings, and studio visits — because this process deserves time, attention, and genuine care. We listen to what you are seeking. We share what we know. And together, we find what resonates.

There is no pressure. No urgency. Only presence.

Two Locations, One Vision

Alchemy Sound Studio holds space in two of the world’s most vibrant cities — each location carrying the same energy of devotion, refinement, and sacred intention.

Munich — The Heart of the Studio

Our Munich studio is where it all began. Nestled in the heart of the city, this is a sanctuary space — a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the essence of who you are. Here, you can experience the full collection of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, attend sound baths and ceremonies, participate in trainings, or simply sit with the bowls and listen.

The Munich studio is more than a location. It is the living embodiment of everything we believe about sound, space, and presence.

New York City — A Transatlantic Resonance

In 2024, Alchemy Sound Studio expanded to New York City — bringing the same philosophy of curated crystalline sound to the United States. Our NYC presence, guided by Nicole Rutsch, offers sound healing trainings, private bowl consultations, and an immersive experience with authentic Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls.

Two cities. Two studios. One unwavering commitment to the integrity of sound.

The Alchemy Academy

Alchemy Sound Studio is also a place of learning. Through the Alchemy Academy, we offer a comprehensive path for those called to deepen their relationship with sound — whether for personal growth or professional practice. Understanding why sound healing training is essential begins here.

Sound Healing Training Level 1

A 20-hour foundational course available online and in Munich. This is where the journey begins — learning to play Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls with clarity, confidence, and intention. Designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, it offers the grounded foundation every sound practice deserves.

Ceremony of Sound: Nada Yoga Training

A 50-hour immersion rooted in the ancient philosophy of Nada Yoga — the sacred union of sound. This training goes beyond technique into the deeper dimensions of vibrational awareness, meditation, and ceremony. It is an initiation into the sacred art of listening.

Crystalline Sonic Mastery

A three-month intensive for those ready to refine their practice at the highest level. The CSM programme cultivates mastery through frequency awareness, simplicity, and love — so that your voice, your sound, and your energy become the instrument of healing.

Harmonium & Voice

Beyond the bowl, we also offer training in harmonium and voice — because the human voice is the most ancient and intimate instrument of all. These offerings weave naturally into the Nada Yoga path, deepening the practitioner’s capacity for toning, chanting, and sacred sound.

Together, these programmes form a 200-hour Sound Practitioner Certification — a holistic foundation in vibrational therapy, intuition, and the art of crystalline sound.

Our trainings are consistently fully booked, drawing students from across Europe and beyond. This is not because of marketing. It is because of resonance.

Beyond the Bowl

Alchemy Sound Studio is, at its core, a community. A living network of practitioners, seekers, and sound lovers connected by a shared devotion to frequency and consciousness.

When you step into our world, you gain more than an instrument. You gain a relationship — with us, with your practice, and with a community that understands the sacredness of this work.

Whether you are seeking your first crystal singing bowl or deepening a lifelong practice through sound bath experiences, we are here to walk beside you.
