Sound Healing & Emotional Release with Rey Culler

About Me – Rey Culler

Rey Culler (they/them) is a trauma-informed sound healing practitioner, somatic guide, and energy worker with a background in neuroscience, yoga, and holistic mental health. With over eight years of experience, Rey blends sound therapy, meditation, breathwork, and somatic regulation techniques to support nervous system healing and emotional resilience. Their approach is both intuitive and grounded in science, bridging the vibrational impact of sound with the physiology of trauma and neuroplasticity.

Rey works with individuals and groups through personalized sessions, community events, and retreat offerings—creating inclusive, affirming spaces for queer and marginalized folks to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and experience deep healing. Whether in a one-on-one energy session or a group sound bath, Rey’s facilitation invites presence, integration, and transformation.

Highlights

Everybody just take a deep cleansing breath. You know what they say in yoga—when you take that intuitive breath, you land in your body. Those bowls just made us really get present.

That’s the heart of sound healing, this episode highlights, Rey Culler, a somatic sound practitioner. Sound healing has been a powerful part of their own journey, from working through a traumatic childhood to finding yoga after a serious injury. “Somatic” means working with the body, which in Rey’s practice includes Reiki, sound healing, yoga, breath work, meditation—and yes, play.

Their quartz crystal bowls each align with specific chakras, carrying unique notes and frequencies to balance overactive or underactive energy. Scientifically, sound affects the nervous system through the vagus nerve, helping the body shift into rest-and-repair mode. This is why people often leave Rey’s sessions feeling lighter, calmer, and—most commonly—able to sleep deeply for the first time in a long while.

Rey offers group sound baths, private sessions, and unique events like their Mermaid Retreat, blending yoga, meditation, breath work, and sound healing by Florida springs. With the body being up to 80% water, sound vibrations travel through us effortlessly, supporting nervous system regulation and emotional release.

During sessions, Rey combines intuition, training, and sometimes oracle cards or crystals to guide the experience. Emotions like sadness, shame, and guilt often surface, allowing clients to process and release them in a safe space.
