✨ A Restorative Pause for Clinicians ✨
If you spend your days holding space for others… this is your invitation to be held.
Join us for a deeply restorative Reiki & Sound Bath Therapy experience designed specifically for SBCAMFT therapists. Led by Anahita Navab Holden, PhD, this immersive session blends Reiki with the soothing sounds of harp, chimes, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, and voice—guiding you into a state of deep relaxation and nervous system reset.
This is more than rest.
It’s energetic alignment, embodied self-care, and space to simply receive.
✨ Optional 1:1 Reiki + aromatherapy will be available for those who’d like an extra layer of support.
🗓 Saturday, April 18
📍 Yoga Soup
👥 Limited to 28 participants — RSVP required
You show up for everyone else.
Let this be something just for you. 💛

Looking forward to growing, learning, and supporting one another in 2026. 🤍🌱
Welcome to the Diversity Book Club! 📚
If you have been looking for a safe, intentional space to dive into the book “Decolonizing Therapy” by Dr. Jennifer Mullan, you are in the right place!
This is a free community space open to all mental health clinicians in the Santa Barbara County area.
We will be meeting once a month to explore 1 chapter of the book. Most meetings will be virtual, with 2 in person meetings so that folks can come together and meet beyond the screen.
We begin January 2026, and will meet every 4th Saturday of the month.
