From Sound Baths to Past Life Regression explore Santa Barbara’s most soulful healing modalities—and where to experience them.


Santa Barbara isn’t just known for its beaches, mountains, and sunshine—it’s also a vibrant hub for alternative healing. Whether you’re seeking peace after trauma, exploring your soul’s past, or simply craving deeper connection with your body and spirit, there’s a growing community here ready to support you. This guide was created to help you discover some of the most powerful alternative healing modalities available in Santa Barbara—from the ancient to the cosmic.



1. Sound Baths: Vibrational Healing for the Nervous System

Sound healing uses crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and other instruments to shift brainwaves into a calm, meditative state. In Santa Barbara, many practitioners offer sound baths under the stars, by the ocean, or in cozy studios where the acoustics allow you to feel the vibrations in your body.

2. Reiki and Energy Healing

Reiki is a Japanese healing art that channels universal life force energy through gentle, hands-on or hands-off techniques. It can help release stuck emotions, rebalance your chakras, and soothe stress and pain.

Many local practitioners also blend Reiki with breathwork, sound, crystals, or intuitive guidance for a custom energy tune-up.

3. Past Life Regression & Quantum Healing Hypnosis

Ever feel connected to places, people, or experiences you can’t explain or have patterns or blocks that you can't seem to shake? Past Life Regression helps you access subconscious memories that hold clues to your soul’s journey. Many people experience deep emotional healing through this work. Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), Beyond Quantum Healing (BQH) and other hypnosis-based modalities allow you to safely access your inner wisdom and soul guidance for clarity and transformation.

4. Herbal Medicine & Earth-Based Rituals

From handcrafted teas to energetic plant rituals, Santa Barbara’s herbalists are reviving the sacred relationship between humans and plants. Many practitioners use local, organic herbs to support nervous system healing, womb health, grief processing, and more.

5. Trauma-Informed Yoga & Somatic Practices

This isn’t your typical yoga class. Trauma-informed yoga focuses on creating a safe, grounded space to reconnect with your body without pressure or performance. Classes often include restorative postures, breathwork, gentle movement, and guided meditation—all designed to support healing from the inside out.


Where to Try It:

  • Somatic sessions from local practitioners and Somaitc therapists like Romi Cumes

  • Special classes and workshops at festivals and wellness events like Santa Barbara Soul Fest



6. Ceremonial Circles & Intuitive Workshops

Community is medicine. From moon circles to breathwork journeys to intuitive art workshops, Santa Barbara offers many ways to connect with others in sacred space. These circles often combine intention setting, guided practices, and time for reflection and integration.
