Katherine Hamer, The Singing Bowl Studio, LLC

Sound can heal. Katherine Hamer’s practice at The Singing Bowl Studio, LLC brings alternative medicine to the Upper West Side, where vibration and intention meet clinical curiosity. Sessions might include crystal bowls, tuning forks, or voice-mapping—each tool chosen for its frequency rather than tradition alone. The studio sits at 293 Central Park West #1r, a building that’s seen a century of New York reinvention; its buzzer still echoes with the clatter of grocery carts and dog-walker chatter.

Alternative therapies often live in the margins of Manhattan’s wellness map, yet here they occupy a quiet corner between a dry cleaner and a jazz record shop. To schedule a session, dial (917) 763-8337—the same digits you’d use for a dinner reservation in a neighborhood where every square foot carries history. Directions and building details are on the map; the entrance is just steps from the 81st Street subway mosaic, where rush-hour commuters pause to check their phones before vanishing underground.
