About Us
Allow us to introduce ourselves:
Since opening Sacred Sound of the Soul in 2018, Ryan and Catrina Stanley have lovingly nurtured it into the vibrant sanctuary it is today. Nestled in Encinitas, CA, this space is home to over 500 Crystal Tones® Alchemy Singing Bowls and hosts a variety of sound healing events and trainings. It’s a place where people come to learn about sound and connect with the special bowl(s) they want to bring into their life.
Catrina Stanley is an owner and manager of Sacred Sound of the Soul. She finds joy in connecting with each person who visits the studio. Whether they’re selecting a bowl for personal healing or professional use she cherishes every unique connection. When she’s not at Sacred Sound of the Soul or working for Soul of Yoga, Catrina is raising three beautiful children with Ryan. She refuels by slowing down, being in nature, cooking for her family, and enjoying life in the coastal town they’re proud to call home.
Ryan Stanley is a dedicated parent, spouse, yoga teacher, sound healer, and conscious business owner with rare depth of experience across yoga, sound healing education, sound instruments, and professional sound settings. Ryan and Catrina also own Soul of Yoga, where Ryan has participated in and observed thousands of sound healings, sound baths, yoga classes with sound, and other sound experiences. He co-founded Soul of Yoga’s Sound Institute, active from 2018 through 2024, where he helped bring many of the world’s most renowned sound healing teachers to serve as faculty. Ryan studied within this environment, became an advanced sound healer, spent time with many master teachers, and has gone on to conduct private and group sound healings, teach yoga classes with sound, and support many sound healing students. His broader sound experience includes audio, sound engineering, broadcasting, producing a sound healing album with Grammy-nominated vocalist Silvia Nakkach, as well as concert and studio work as a singing bowl musician with Grammy-winning artist LeAnn Rimes.
