Certified Brennan Healing Science® Practitioner · Sessions in Santa Barbara, California and remotely
Welcome, and thank you for being here. I'm honored that you've found your way to this page. Wherever you are on your healing journey, may you find the gift of healing.
Hi, I'm Yulia. Welcome to Healing Light.
Sometimes life leaves us carrying more than we can name: feelings that never quite moved through, patterns that keep repeating, a quiet sense that we've lost touch with our own vitality or direction. My work is to give you a calm, safe space to set some of that down. As a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, I work with your energy field to help clear what feels blocked, restore balance, and support your own natural capacity to heal. I see clients in person in Santa Barbara, California and remotely, wherever you are.
When you've tried everything else
Many people find their way to energy healing after they've tried everything else they knew. If you're looking for an alternative or complementary approach to support your healing, Brennan Healing Science® works gently with your whole energy field: body, emotions, mind, and spirit.
It's a holistic healing practice that sits comfortably alongside other alternative and complementary modalities, and alongside the medical care you already receive. Many people make it part of an integrative approach to their wellbeing. It doesn't replace your doctor or therapist, and I never promise a cure. What I offer is a calm, attentive space to rest, reconnect, and support your own healing from the inside.
The Modality
What is Brennan Healing Science®?
Brennan Healing Science® is a holistic, hands-on approach to energy healing developed by Barbara Brennan. People sometimes compare it to Reiki, since both are gentle, hands-on forms of energy healing, but Brennan Healing Science has its own in-depth training and techniques. It's based on the understanding that each of us has a Human Energy Field. This subtle field, sometimes called the aura or biofield, surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body and is closely connected to how we feel physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
In the Brennan tradition, this field has several interconnected levels and includes the chakras, which are energy centers that take in and distribute life energy. Our experiences, emotions, and beliefs leave their mark on the field. Over time, some areas can become blocked, depleted, or out of balance.
In a session, I combine High Sense Perception (a trained, refined way of perceiving the energy field) with specific hands-on and hands-off techniques to clear, charge, and balance your field. The work is gentle and non-invasive. It isn't talk therapy or a psychic reading, and it doesn't replace medical care. It's a way of supporting your whole self, so that change can come from the inside at a pace that's right for you.
Your Santa Barbara Energy Healer
About Yulia
Certified Brennan Healing Science® Practitioner
Ever since I was a little girl, I've longed to help others heal. As a child I dreamed of becoming a doctor or a vet, because I so wanted every being to be healthy, safe, happy, and fed. I also always knew there was a subtle world of energy around us that we can't see with our eyes.
That knowing led me on a lifelong path. At 16 I began studying at one of the first schools in Russia to teach people how to work with energy. Over the years I learned from many teachers, sat Vipassana retreats, and read every book and took every course I could find about the subtle field we live in. Then I found Awakening Your Light Body, a profound meditation course by DaBen and Orin. It changed my life, and I've practiced it for over 17 years.
Eventually I wanted to put all of this into practice, and my own body gave me a reason. The lower back pain I'd always had got so bad that I couldn't stand upright until I'd taken a few steps, and even a sneeze hurt. I prayed for healing, and the universe brought me to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. The program was four years long, and I was sure I couldn't commit to that. But the school kept calling me, so I enrolled thinking I'd try just one year.
I'm so glad I did. It was the most life-changing experience of my life. The transformation I went through feels like several lifetimes, and it gave me skills I'll carry forever for meeting life's ups and downs. As I brought more of my inner being back to wholeness, I felt more and more joy and safety return to my life, and my back began to get better and better. In time, it healed completely. Not even a subtle ache remains.
This is what I love most about this work: it supports the healing of the whole human being, body, mind, and spirit. And it's possible to be blessed with its gift in more ways than one: not only physical balance, but also more joy and peace.
That's why healing isn't my job. It's my passion, and it's what I love to do. It would be an honor to hold that space for you.
Work with Me
Energy Healing Sessions
Every session is tailored to you. Your first visit is a little longer, so we have time to get to know each other and set a clear intention for our work together.
-
First session
Brennan Healing Science® Energy Healing Session
Your introduction to Brennan Healing Science®. We begin with an unhurried conversation about what brings you here, anything relevant in your health and life right now, and your intention for the session. Then comes the healing itself, followed by quiet time to rest and a short check-in. If you have questions about the work, this is a good time to ask them.
- In person: at my studio in Santa Barbara, California
- Remote: by Zoom, from anywhere
-
Ongoing session
Brennan Healing Science® Energy Healing Session
For returning clients. We start with a brief check-in to see what has shifted since our last session and to set the focus for today. Then we move into the healing and close with time to rest and integrate.
- In person: at my studio in Santa Barbara, California
- Remote: by Zoom, from anywhere
Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
In person in Santa Barbara or remote energy healing: which is right for me?
Both follow the same structure and use the same techniques. In person, you rest fully clothed on a comfortable healing table in my Santa Barbara studio. For a remote session, you rest somewhere private and comfortable at home while we're connected by Zoom for the opening conversation and the closing check-in. Many people find remote sessions just as deep, and some relax even more easily in their own space. Choose whichever feels best for you.
Specialty Support
Pre- & Post-Operative Energy Support
Facing surgery can bring up a lot: nerves, uncertainty, and the wish to do everything you can to take care of yourself. Pre-surgery energy healing and post-operative energy healing offer gentle, complementary support for body, mind, and spirit, alongside the care of your surgeon and medical team.
-
Before surgery
Preparing for the change
- We prepare your body, mind, and spirit for the change ahead, so you can go in feeling as prepared and calm as possible.
- We calm the nerves and help your whole system settle in the days leading up to your procedure.
- We offer energetic support to help your body as it processes anesthesia and medications.
-
After surgery
Supporting your recovery
- We work to support your body's natural healing process as you recover.
- We offer energetic support as your body clears anesthesia and medications after surgery.
- We gently help release the shock and trauma your body's cells may hold after surgery.
- We support your body in returning to overall balance: physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Available in person in Santa Barbara or via Zoom. Whether you're local and looking for post-operative energy healing in Santa Barbara, or joining from elsewhere, we can time sessions around your procedure. After surgery, remote sessions let you receive while you rest at home.
This is complementary energy support, offered alongside (never instead of) your surgeon's and medical team's care. Please always follow their instructions before and after your procedure. I don't promise medical outcomes; my aim is to help you feel as supported, prepared, and calm as possible.
Your Session
What to Expect
Before your session
- Think about your intention. You don't need anything polished. It can be as simple as “I feel stuck,” “I want to feel more like myself,” or “I'm going through a big change.” We'll clarify it together.
- Wear comfortable clothing. You stay fully clothed. For in-person sessions, you'll only take off your shoes.
- For remote sessions: find a quiet, private space where you can lie down undisturbed for the whole session, such as a bed, couch, or yoga mat with a blanket and pillow. Silence your phone notifications and have a glass of water nearby.
- If you can, avoid alcohol and recreational substances on the day of your session. It helps you arrive clear and receptive.
During your session
- We begin with a conversation to clarify your intention and set the focus for our work together. It's longer at the first session and briefer after that.
- You lie down and relax. In person, you rest fully clothed on the healing table, with a blanket and pillows if you like. Remote, you rest in your own private, comfortable space.
- I work with your Human Energy Field. Using light touch and hands-off techniques, I clear energetic blocks, restore balance, and support your body's natural capacity to heal. In person, touch is always gentle and only with your consent. You can let me know at any time if you'd prefer less or no touch.
- Your only job is to receive. Some people feel warmth, tingling, movement, or emotion. Some see colors or drift into a dreamy, half-asleep state. Others simply feel calm. All of these are normal, and none of them is required for the work to be meaningful. You're always welcome to speak, ask for an adjustment, or pause.
After your session
- Rest for 10–15 minutes so the energies can integrate. Most people feel deeply relaxed. We'll have a short, gentle check-in, and bigger questions can wait until you've landed.
- Give yourself some space. If you can, plan a quiet rest of the day and drink plenty of water.
- The work keeps settling over the next 24–48 hours. You may notice vivid dreams, shifts in mood or energy, or new insight. Be gentle with yourself.
- Please avoid alcohol and recreational substances for 24 hours after your session, as they can diminish the effects.
- If anything comes up that you'd like to share, you're welcome to reach out through the contact form.

This work is for anyone who wants to feel more balanced, clear, and at home in themselves. People often come to me when they're facing:

the same situations, reactions, or relationship dynamics showing up again and again

with a partner, family member, or friend, or with yourself
Life transitions
endings, beginnings, loss, moves, career changes, and other thresholds

You don't need any prior experience with energy healing, or any particular beliefs, to receive a session. Openness and curiosity are enough.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do remote sessions really work?
In my experience, yes. Remote (sometimes called distance) energy healing works with the same field as a hands-on session. The Human Energy Field isn't limited by physical distance in the way the body is, and a remote session follows the same structure as an in-person one. We connect by Zoom to talk and set your intention. You then rest in a private, comfortable space while I work with your field, and we reconnect at the end. Many people find remote sessions just as deep, and some relax more fully at home.
What should I wear?
Something comfortable. You stay fully clothed for the whole session. In person, you'll only remove your shoes. Soft layers are nice, since some people feel warmer or cooler as they relax.
Will you touch me?
In person, I may place my hands gently on certain areas, such as the feet, joints, or over energy centers. I also work with my hands a little away from the body. Touch is always light and non-invasive, and it happens only with your consent. You can ask for no touch at any time and the session will still be complete.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on you and what you're working with, and we'll find a rhythm that feels right together. As a gentle guide: for acute or pressing issues, I recommend weekly sessions. When we're working with trauma, twice a week offers steady, continuous support. For maintenance and ongoing support, every two weeks works beautifully to nurture your emotional and mental wellbeing, your overall wellbeing, and your physical vitality. We'll check in as we go, and there's never any pressure to book more.
What will I feel?
Everyone's experience is different, and it can vary from session to session. You may feel warmth, tingling, gentle waves of energy, emotion, or deep relaxation, or you may simply feel peaceful. Feeling a lot or very little doesn't show how much is happening. Many people notice shifts in the following days more than during the session itself.
Can energy healing support me before or after surgery?
Yes. I offer Pre- & Post-Operative Energy Support: sessions before your procedure to help you feel as prepared and calm as possible, and afterwards to support your body's natural healing process. It's complementary care, offered alongside (never instead of) your surgeon's and medical team's care, in person in Santa Barbara or via Zoom.
Does this replace medical or psychological care?
No. Brennan Healing Science® is complementary to conventional medical care and to psychotherapy. It doesn't replace them. I do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat medical conditions, and I will never advise you to stop or change a medication or treatment. If you have a health condition, please stay under the care of a licensed medical professional alongside our sessions.
