Why work with me

I’m Thea, a passionate sound practitioner with more than 12 years of experience helping people transform their lives through relaxation and rejuvenation.

My journey into sound healing began with a personal quest for well-being, which ignited a deep desire to help others find their path to health.

Trained as a Biologist, I have 20+ years of experience in the field of cell biology and cancer research.  

My keen interest in metaphysics and my spiritual quest made me explore yoga, different types of meditation, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and Qi Gong.  My mentors and teachers influenced me positively in engaging in a more healthy life style.  In 2004, I was certified as a yoga teacher.  

Being very curious and open for anything new that can promote health and well-being, I trained in sound therapy. 

In 2009, I moved to Santa Barbara, California where I am also exploring my artistic talents;  drawing, painting, and sculpting are my favorites.  

It is my mission to pass on my knowledge and expertise, to inspire, to promote health and well-being for ‘Every-Body’.  

“Healing with Sound is a gentle way to get in touch with the self-healing power of the body.”

"I had an incredible ✨healing✨ experience the other day when I had my first private soundbath with Dr. Thea Goepfert in Santa Barbara, California. www.sound-healing-santa-barbara.abmp.com
Anyone suffering from stress, lack of sleep, creativity blocks, anxiety & any other physical or mental trauma...I strongly recommend seeing Thea. She is an amazing healer with a seriously strong medical background...she can explain the science of sound healing, at the same time performing healing that feels like magic. Her training in different areas is extremely impressive. I have never felt more deeply relaxed & carried such calm after any treatment, not even a massage.
A friend recommended seeing Dr. Thea & I am so glad I did. I will definitely be going back and just wanted to share the enormous gift I received with others. I have been more relaxed, more creative, sleeping better, I have more energy, less-tense muscles....try something different & check out her website. Enjoy a trip to Santa Barbara while you’re at it 🙂 ♥️

When I first started seeing Thea, I had been working on a physically and mentally hard job.  My body felt achy all over and my mind felt like I was in a fog.   After my first visit, I started to feel clearer and more limber,   Thea's treatments also put me in a state of deep relaxation.  I am so glad I found Thea! She has helped me so much.                                             Karen I., Santa Barbara, CA
With my first sound healing with Thea I was instantly put at ease. It is a soothing and relaxing experience.  I was surprised to feel a vibration in the areas where I had pain issues. Thea's compassion and expertise were apparent. I look forward to my next session.   Glynis P, Santa Barbara, CA

I liked the lingering sound,  ...  I would have liked to be in the space of sound and vibration even longer...        The vibrations carry on ... into the world, into life.  ...It was a personal experience although I was with the group.

I wish we could have a sound healing every day...   I liked the sound and vibration and I was able to feel it for a long time...  even though the bowl was taken off my body, I was still perceiving the vibrations...           Group Event, Carpinteria, CA
During the sound healing my entire body was vibrating and felt massaged.  The deeper, fuller sounds of the bowls gave me a sense of peace and well-being.  I deeply relaxed.  It seemed like the sound of the bowl and I were in unison.  Often, I am having insomnia and the healing affected my sleep pattern positively.      Eva L, Germany
Thea, your sound healing has touched me deeply in my heart.  Afterwards, I felt light and in my center.     Petra R, Germany
During the Sound Healing I released stress and pressure from everyday life. It brought relaxation and balance! I am thankful for this experience!                         Ariane L, Germany



I felt light, my pain dissipated during the sound healing, and I completely relaxed.  I felt content afterwards.      Hedwig F G, Germany


For me, the success of this modality is the inner peace I am able to perceive after the sound healing session. I enjoyed it very much.  The daily life takes a back seat, and I completely relax.  The vibrations and waves of the bowls permeated my body deeply; every stroke of the mallet against the bowl resulted in comfort and well-being.  With each sound healing session the effect is deeper and quicker.  Thea, I want to comment on your pleasant and calming way that helped me to completely relax during the session, resulting in letting go and enjoying myself.  I highly recommend your sound healing.        Andre L, cancer survivor, Germany
