Suren Shrestha was born in Khandbari, Nepal, a small village located approximately forty-five minutes southeast of Mt. Everest.  In this village people were healed by herbalists, monks and medicine men using shaman’s drums, gongs and mantras.

He came to the United States as a teenager, attended college and received a B.S. in Civil Engineering.  He married his beautiful wife Ruby Shrestha, who worked in the healthcare field.  They both began to notice the growing interest in alternative medicine in the U.S.

Suren returned to Nepal to learn how to practice ancient healing techniques that utilize sound and vibration.  He studied and completed several apprenticeships in singing bowl therapy under several different teachers in Asia and Nepal.  After learning about the singing bowls, he wished to share this knowledge with others.  He began teaching and wrote the book, How to Heal with Singing Bowls. 

In order to share his knowledge with others, Suren established the Atma Buti® Sound & Vibrational School.  As founder, he and his family teach about the benefits and how to use singing bowls with individuals and groups all over the world.  Suren, Ruby and their daughter, Sarina are creating a community of sound, healing and friendship that resonates near and far.
