We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Crystal DeBerry. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Crystal below.

Crystal, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?

My parents profoundly shaped my life and career by teaching me the values of compassion, showing up for others, and celebrating the people around me. These lessons have been the cornerstone of my journey as a sound healing practitioner, guiding me in how I connect with and support others.

One of the most enduring memories from my childhood is the way my parents consistently rose to the occasion whenever someone faced challenges. Whether it was cooking meals for others or caring for people when they were sick, my parents always extended their hands and hearts to those in need. Their actions spoke volumes about the importance of compassion and the power of presence.

I remember one particular instance when my mother’s best friend’s mother was seriously ill. Without hesitation, she organized a schedule to ensure that her and their circle of friends were there daily to provide support. She actively participated in her care and also stayed, talked, and provided comfort. Her unwavering support eased many of the burdens on the entire family and also offered emotional solace. Witnessing this taught me that showing up for others with genuine love and care can make a world of difference.

Celebrating others was another fundamental lesson my parents imparted. They believed in marking joyous occasions and accomplishments with heartfelt celebrations, no matter how big or small. I recall countless parties thrown in honor of birthdays, graduations, and even simple moments of happiness. These gatherings weren’t about grandiosity but about making people feel valued and cherished.

These values have deeply influenced my approach as a sound healing practitioner. Compassion drives me to connect with my clients on a profound level, understanding their needs and providing a safe space for healing. The practice of showing up for others ensures that I am fully present during sessions, offering my undivided attention and care. Celebrating people reminds me to acknowledge and honor the milestones and progress my clients achieve in their healing journeys.

My parents’ example has taught me that the essence of healing lies in the warmth of human connection and the strength of a supportive community. Their legacy continues to inspire me every day, shaping not only my career but also the person I strive to be.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am the founder and CEO of Natural Wonder, where I practice as a Sound Embrace Certified Sound Healing Practitioner. I consider myself a vibrational therapist because through my work in the professional wellness field, I’ve discovered that I am helping people feel better by administering therapeutic vibrations.

My path into sound healing began with my own healing journey—a spiritual awakening that led me to seek healing and understanding for my own nervous system and traumas. I was experiencing challenges from the weight of past experiences and looking for a way to truly heal emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. Through sound healing, I found a transformative tool that not only helped me shed 150 pounds and maintain a healthier lifestyle but also taught me how to work through and release the trauma I was holding in my body. This experience was life-changing and inspired me to share the healing power of sound with others.

At Natural Wonder, we offer a wide range of services designed to promote holistic healing. Our offerings include group and private sound bath sessions, reflexology foot sound baths, guided meditation, talk therapy, personalized vibrational therapy, and seminars. Each service is carefully crafted to address the unique needs of our clients, whether they are dealing with emotional, spiritual, mental, or physical challenges. Our approach is deeply personalized and holistic, ensuring that each client receives true care and attention to heal and thrive.

What sets us apart at Natural Wonder is our commitment to using sound as a therapeutic medium in a way that is tailored to each individual’s journey. We believe in the power of personalized care and the importance of creating a compassionate and supportive environment where clients can feel safe and nurtured. Our goal is to help clients ease and heal their nervous systems and find a sense of peace and well-being.

I am incredibly proud of the work we do at Natural Wonder and the impact it has on our clients lives. One of the things that brings me the most pride is the fact that I was my first client. My own healing journey has not only empowered me but also allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level. I understand their challenges because I’ve been there myself, and this empathy infuses my practice with a genuine sense of compassion and understanding.

The main things I want potential clients and followers to know about Natural Wonder and my work are that I am here to support them, to help them feel better, and to love them through the process. Healing is a deeply personal journey, and my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing space where clients can explore and heal their innermost selves. Whether you’re seeking to relieve stress, overcome trauma, or simply find a sense of balance and harmony in your life, Natural Wonder is to help you feel better, empower you, and support you every step of the way.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

Yes, I would choose the same profession without hesitation. Becoming a sound healing practitioner has allowed me to witness people grow beyond their challenges in real time. The joy of helping others heal has been profoundly fulfilling, and through this journey, I have also experienced significant personal healing. This profession has expanded my sense of compassion and connectedness to others in ways I never imagined. It’s a path that feels deeply aligned with my purpose and values.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Other than training and knowledge, I believe the most crucial element for succeeding in the field of sound healing is genuine care and compassion for the well-being of my clients. It’s about creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals feel truly seen and heard. Understanding their unique needs, being present with them, and holding space for their healing journey is essential. When clients feel that their well-being is my top priority, it fosters a deep sense of trust and connection. This emotional trust is often the catalyst for profound healing and transformation.
