Meet Rana

Rana Nader's love of crystal alchemy bowls began with Crystals. Learning from her mother, Rana has made jewelry for more than 25 years, building a line that reached the Middle East and Europe before she settled in Laguna Beach. Her mala beads are recognized internationally, and she still makes pieces by hand, each one starting with a morning meditation at the beach where she clears the piece before setting an intention for it.

She began working with the alchemy bowls in 2017. The bowls are the same work in a different form. In her own words, “I was introduced to sound healing and crystal singing bowls in my yoga boutique, when a friend brought in his Alchemy Bowls. The moment I learned they were made of actual crystals, something clicked. I'd spent years stringing mala beads based on the meaning of crystal and people’s intention. Putting together a set of Alchemy Bowls felt exactly like that, every bowl, every alchemy, chosen with purpose.”

The Studio

Her studio on North Coast Highway in Laguna Beach holds more than 700 genuine Crystal Tones® alchemy bowls, one of the largest selections in the country. Pure quartz, mined in North Carolina and made in Utah in 3000 to 4000 degrees, is fused with precious metals and crystals that give each bowl its color and its voice.

Each bowl is one of a kind, and she plays them for her customers, in the studio or virtually, until the perfect bowl or set emerges.

Knowing is real

Rana carries Crystal Tones® bowls and nothing else. Every one arrives with a serial number, an authentication code, and a hologram. She does not carry any other instrument other than Crystal Tones®.

Teaching and playing

Rana is a sound healing practitioner as well as a teacher. She holds alchemy sound baths, leads workshops and retreats, and teaches Alchemy sound healing to anyone who wants to play, whether it be for others or just for themselves.

Beyond the bowls

Rana is a wife, a mother, and a yogi with a 300 hour certification, teaching Vinyasa flow and Restorative yoga since 2012. What she does best is nurture people by empowering them to harness the power of sound and crystals for their own peace and well being.
