Deb Yoder, Certified Harmonic Sound/Vibrational Sound Massage Therapist. I hold certifications from The Atma Buti Sound and Vibrational School (Colorado) as well as the Vibrational Sound Association, (Lincoln, Nebaska). I continue to study with Dr. Mitch Nur of 9Ways Academia, a professor who has been doing field research and trainings for 50 years in the field of indigenous sound instruments and sound therapy.

I believe in helping others use natural means to find relief from pain, stress and tension, and begin the process of self healing. The use of the Himalayan Singing Bowls promotes relaxation, pain relief, and the release of tension and stress. 

I am a yin yoga practitioner/teacher and use the bowls in my practice for myself as well as for others. I enjoy sharing both yoga and the singing bowls with friends and clients. Some of my other interests include reading, adult coloring books, beading malas, gardening and snowshoeing and spending time with my two legged and four legged family members.

I bring sound meditations with the Himalayan bowls to the Avera McKennan Fitness Center, the Avera Cancer Institute, Avera Behavioral Health, Avera Inpatient Rehab, Avera Outpatient Group Therapy and Addiction Care, Dougherty Hospice House, Touchmark and Grand Living retirement communities and various local venues around the Sioux Falls area. I taught several classes on the singing bowls for the local OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) chapters in Sioux Falls, Chamberlain and Vermillion South Dakota. Prior to Covid, I played singing bowl meditations to salt therapy clients at the Sauna Haus in Sioux Falls, the Great Plains Watercolor Society, presented to students during interim at Augustana University, yoga classes at New Technology High School, first and second year Medical students at USD School of Medicine and have worked with school and mental health counselors. I have done live interviews with KDLT news and Keloland Living and was featured in the self care section of 605 Magazine in January 2018 and in the Voices section of the Argus Leader newspaper  highlighting the work I do at the Prairie Center. Other venues have included the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum, the Butterfly House and Good Earth State Park. I travel to businesses in the area to provide sound meditations for employees and customers.
