Grounded healing for overwhelm, transitions, and Nervous system restoration
Energy, Sound & Earth Rooted Practices to help you reconnect to yourself
I offer sessions that weave together Reiki, Biofield Tuning and sound healing, intuitive guidance and earth-rooted awareness. Each session is gentle, attuned, and tailored to what your system needs that day— whether you’re navigating change, feeling overwhelmed, or simply wanting to come home to yourself — supporting your body’s natural capacity to unwind, regulate and reconnect.
Ways to work with me…
-
1:1 Sessions
90-minute and 60-minute sessions that integrate energy & sound healing, Biofield Tuning, intuitive guidance and grounding practices. Each session is shaped by what your system needs that day.
-
Sound Baths
Immersive sound healing experiences designed to support rest, grounding, and nervous system regulation. Using instruments such as crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, drums and tuning forks, each session creates space to slow down, reconnect, and settle more deeply into yourself. Offerings are hosted in collaboration with local yoga studios and community spaces throughout Santa Cruz.
-
Reiki Trainings
Small-group Reiki trainings rooted in grounding, energetic awareness, and practical care. These classes combine traditional Usui Reiki teachings with hands-on practice, nervous system awareness, and space for reflection, questions, and community connection. Trainings are designed to help you build confidence in working with energy — whether for personal healing, family care or in professional practice.
Hi, I’m Trista —
I’m a Reiki Master, sound healing practitioner, and student of herbalism based in Santa Cruz. I work with people who are navigating transitions, feeling overwhelmed, or wanting to reconnect with their inner steadiness. My approach is gentle, grounded and collaborative — centered on meeting you exactly where you are with presence, curiosity and care.
What to Expect in a Session
-
When you come to a session, you don’t need to arrive with a plan or a perfectly formed intention. We begin exactly where you are — whether you’re moving through transition, feeling overwhelmed, seeking clarity, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself.
My role is to meet you with steadiness and presence, and to support your body’s natural capacity to unwind, regulate, and come back into coherence.
-
We start with a brief check-in.
You’re welcome to share anything you’d like support with, or nothing at all — both are completely okay.
From there, you’ll lie down comfortably on the table, fully clothed, with blankets and props available as needed. The environment is quiet, slow, and intentionally spacious so your system can soften and settle.
-
Each session draws from the full toolkit of my practice, including:
Energy healing & Reiki (hands-on or hands-off depending on your preference)
Sound healing
Tuning forks
Intuitive guidance
Gentle grounding practices
Optional plant or flower essence support
I listen to what your system is asking for that day and follow the cues that arise — no two sessions ever look the same.
-
Most people enter a deeply relaxed state. Some feel warmth, tingling, spaciousness, or emotional shifts. Some simply rest. Some receive insights or images.
And some feel nothing at all in the moment — which is equally valid and normal.
There’s no “right” way to experience this work. Your body and energy move at the pace that feels safe and true.
-
Many people describe feeling:
clearer
more grounded
less overwhelmed
more themselves
Sometimes the work continues to integrate over the next few days, showing up as subtle shifts in mood, perspective, or energy.
If helpful, I may offer a simple grounding practice, a tuning-fork tone to work with, or a flower essence suggestion to support the integration process.
-
You do not need:
prior experience
to know what you want to work on
to relax “on command”
to show up a certain way
to perform or explain anything
This work is collaborative, gentle, and responsive.
Your system sets the pace.
