What. An. Experience. As someone who suffers from ADHD, I have never been able to meditate or relax my mind. But I can honestly say, this was the first time I was able to. I am excited to continue the journey. HIGHLY recommend checking them out. I truly enjoyed the relaxing state. Side note, everyone is extremely friendly, almost too much... just kidding :) read more

As someone who has explored just about every wellness experience out there, I can honestly say this completely blew me away. Jonathan, the owner, is an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional guide who makes you feel supported every step of the way. The entire experience felt intentional, grounding, and truly transformative. I left feeling lighter, energized, and creatively inspired--ideas flowing faster than I could write them down. I've already been recommending it to all my friends and can't wait to go back. read more

Every time I come here before during and after treatment I feel great. It's a different kind of experience worth noting. Yes come here and just be open minded about different modalities. Reality Center really gets me out of the dark holes I keep digging myself mentally. I feel great after each visit. Thank you !!! read more

Absolutely incredible. I did a full session with water bed and subwoofers. Felt immediate tension relief and felt more present in my body than I have in years. Amazing team, super kind and professional. read more

What can I say about the beautiful people at The Reality Center...THANK YOU guys for lovin' the Veteran community! Following an ayahuasca retreat with Heroic Hearts project, I was looking for more integration type work and PTSD treatment. The Reality Center definitely was that and more! I had an amazing experience with Justin and the team along with The Wounded Warrior Project at the reality center! If you're a Vet and wondering if it's worth it...do yourself a favor and book the dang session already! Thanks soo much guys, I look forward to my next session! read more

Reality Center - Just around the corner... - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This experience simulated Transcendence and disassociation. It is definitely worth visiting before you take other medicines. I like how they have helped so many veterans and their ratings are all excellent. Thank you. read more

I had a really unique and powerful experience at Reality Center. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calming. The session itself was unlike anything I've tried before-a fully immersive experience that combines light, sound, and vibration in a way that truly helps reset your nervous system and felt like a full reset for my mind and body. I left feeling calmer, clearer, and more focused, and even slept better afterward. Definitely worth trying if you're dealing with stress or just need a mental reset. read more

Reality Center - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I went to the Reality Center for the first time on a nice Sunday afternoon! Came into the building, everything was nice and clean. The vibe was very fitting, the smell, artwork, all of it was aligned with what was advertised on the website. Had roughly an hour session within a guided group. It was as therapeutic of any alternative healing method I have gotten into so far. The combination of the frequency table, binaural sounds, and visual entrainment light was a real treat. Jonathan, the founder, provided a nice introduction and setting to get started. I'd recommend anyone living or traveling around the greater Los Angeles area to make a trip and have a single or couples session. read more

If you enjoy meditation, inner exploration, or are curious about new ways to enhance your wellbeing, this place is worth a visit. I'm already looking forward to my next session! read more

This was my 5 or 6th time back to Reality Center and long overdue from my last. After the session I felt so relaxed and a sense of calmness I have not felt in a while. Veronica was awesome and we had great conversation about my experience after the session. The space is very welcoming, clean and easy to get to. I would a hundred percent recommend this to anyone looking for some tranquility, peace, and clarity in their life. All of my experiences have been different each time but always worth coming in and continuing my journey inward. read more

A expert in kindness and compassion for people who need relief with guided imagery and sound therapy to heal their suffering. Pikor

I'm a lucky Army Veteran who has had 4 sessions at Reality Center. Everyone has been warm and inviting and made me feel welcome. The last session Cam curated for me and I was taken on a wonderful healing, halucinatic like, dreamy, spiritual, journey. I released so much tension, trauma and pain. I always sleep extra deep and my dreams have been more vivid. After the first session I had I slept 12 hours! Please do yourself a favor and check out the Reality Center!! read more

Friday 4-10-2026, I visited Reality Center in Santa Monica, I was invited because I'm a Veteran and have PTSD form Desert Storm. I've been there before, for my daughter, this time for me. WOW, what an experience, if you really relax and breathe, it's really calming and some of the thoughts that were racing in my head slowed down and some stopped. If you're a Veteran please do for you just this one time and visit The Reality Center, let your body, mind and soul relax, it may not last forever but it really feels good. If you have kids, husband or wife, do it for them. And this is not just for Veterans. read more

Every experience is just as unique as the last and yet the after feeling of peace is so familiar, thank you Camyar

What an amazing opportunity that I was able to attended my first session! I had no idea what I was getting my self into, my friend jose Lopez, a veteran invited me and I was excited. This place was amazing, the staff is super friendly, caring and knowledgeable. The deep meditation and visuals were unreal. Definitely will be going back! read more

This review is long overdue. I wrote down my experience after so that I could reflect upon it later. I do feel each individual's experience would be unique so I wouldn't want to plant ideas in peoples heads for what they will feel, but overall I saw a montage of my loved ones in my life! It was like a fun ride and my mind took off in so many directions. I didn't try the voice part of it my first time but will in future. The best part of the experience is that for a few days after I felt more relaxed than I had in a long time. It really made me hone in on some thoughts in my brain that needed to come out and be addressed, I felt like my mind was able to let some things go. I have never tried traditional EMDR but this was that on steroids! If insurance covered this I would definitely do this constantly! Keep your eyes out for coupon codes on their instagram stories. This treatment experience is for literally everyone. Highly recommend, shouting from the rooftops!! Goooooo!! read more

My experience was incredible. The combination of light pattern therapy, vibration and sound was truly amazing and so relaxing. I want everyone I know to come here for this experience. I highly recommend and I will return often. read more

I came here on a work de-stressing activity. I've never done anything like this before. My supervisor came to us with a surprise. I would say that this is one unique activity that I never knew existed. From the start, Jonathan greeted us by the door and was so friendly and welcoming. He made the experience very comforting and enjoyable. He was genuinely passionate about trauma healing and self care. The facility was very clean, comfortable, and gave a meditative environment. The experience was promoted to us as a psychadelic experience as a form of healing. It definitely was what Jonathan said to be a "sensory overload" but, very relaxing. After the experience, I was at a relaxed feeling as if someone gave me a nice massage. Some people in our group fell asleep, some stayed awake but felt as though they were dreaming, and some, such as me, saw visuals but don't remember what. Nonetheless, everyone enjoyed their experience and would do this again. I certainly plan to come back again in a month or so. read more

This neuropathic service really helps. I am a veteran with PTSD and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was kind and knowledgeable. The experience was incredibly healing. I will certainly do this again.​ read more

I came here and the place was right across from a parking structure which was pretty convenient and parking was about 2 dollars! Upon getting to the door I was greeted by Tarun! The street's busy but as soon as you step into those doors, it's quiet and very zen! I came here skeptical about the experience but a friend of mine swore by it! Tarun offered us water and guided us through the meditation portion prior to the experience and my mind is still blown! The intensity of the light at the beginning was a shock and took me about a minute to adjust. Right after that, I went into a trance and experienced something like a lucid dream. I was able to control the dream and envision the things I wanted to succeed. Then before I knew it, an hour passed. I woke up feeling more enlightened, motivated, more positive! Nonetheless, I would recommend you come in open-minded, and ready to meditate. 10/10 would do it again. They had a couples experience which my girlfriend and I tried! She also loved the experience! She woke up more relaxed. read more

Today I visited the Reality Center, completely blind and with no expectations. After a treatment with vibrations, light and music, I am a different person. Anxiety, stress, mental gymnastics, stripped away. I cannot articulate what happened or how it happened, my mind was in a 1000 different places, all good. I was in there for over an hour but had to ask how long it was. I had no comprehension of time. I do know I will be going back and back for this treatment. I would highly recommend it for anyone with stress, anxiety, PTSD. I don't know the how's or why's but this worked for me and I've been strung like a cat on a curtain for a decade. read more

This place was recommended to me by a close friend. I was highly skeptical at first. I have never been into anything like this so I thought it was going to be a cult or a gimmick but I went ahead and tried it anyway. I did the 60 minute wave table and it was an amazing experience. In all honesty it's a little overwhelming at first. The lights are incredibly bright but once you relax and trust the process the experience is unreal. I immediately called my girlfriend and told her it's like therapy on steroids. You open your eyes and the clarity is like nothing I've felt in years. Cam is incredibly helpful. Staff and time spent is 10/10. Will definitely be returning. read more

I am a woman combat veteran. my session at the reality center was amazing. I feel so much better since my partner died. I've had a sense of emptiness for two years. I was really able to face this. And work through it. Jonathan is so helpful and such an amazing person. This organization really helps veterans. I will be going to get more sessions. But I can really say I had such a breakthrough with the session. I highly recommend to have a session. It helped me find my blockage and breakthrough it. read more

YOU MUST EXPERIENCE REALITY CENTER! I was referred from a friend who had a profound experience here. I share this personal information in the hopes of leading someone to this type of help as well. I recently experienced trauma through the unexpected passing & event around losing my long term boyfriend. I am experiencing deep emotional pain and PTSD from this loss/event. I have been seeking therapy and different healing modalities to try and support my grieving. My boyfriend is the one who introduced me to the mind/body connection which is strongly integrated here and felt like a beautiful way to honor him- but also my session deeply helped my soul. First being taken through the vocal analysis to see where my energetic blocks/weaker vibrations were was amazing to see. It lined up with my exact feelings. Then to have these wavelengths adjusted through a guided meditative state was a really special experience. To then additionally have the proper sound & light therapy experience for the specific areas I needed adjusted was a very life changing. In being put into theta waves I felt the most special experience/answers come to me in allowing this type of healing within my mind and body. I cried and cried in the session which felt really good to allow this to happen freely. The team is so supportive and caring as you navigate the emotions, the vibrational changes and unpacking at the end. I felt a major shift and difference in my energy, my thoughts and progress in a type of therapy that will help me through my PTSD & grieving process. I will be going back and hope more people can experience this healing modality. Parking was really easy in the structure across the street. Definitely park in the garage so you don't worry about a meter. Wishing you all the best experiences in your life as we all do our best to heal & connect with ourselves. When you're ready to change your life, book an appointment here. read more

My wife and I visited Reality Center last week and had an *amazing* time. We did both the vocal analysis and the wave table experience and loved the clarity it gave my mind and a better understanding of where my head is currently at. I left feeling a sense of openness and understanding about myself I desperately needed. The space itself was super welcoming and the staff was incredible. They walked us through every part of the process, answered all our questions, and overall are good people. We will be visiting the center again! read more

Reality Center is a next level experience. If you're into mindfulness or meditation at all this is a must try. The light, sound and vibrational technology really places you deeper into a relaxed meditative state. I had a 30 min session on the wave table and had an amazing breakthrough session. The staff was super helpful and kind and I left feeling relaxed and at ease. There is street parking available and there is a large affordable parking structure directly across the street. Tons of other fun retail shops/restaurants in the area to make a day of. I'll be back for another session soon! read more

Reality Center - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This was an amazing experience! I was able to come in on a day The Reality Center was doing outreach for veterans and allowing us to experience their different services. The vibration table was a restful and restorative experience. I came back rested and ready to karate kick the day! The immersive wave table was something I didn't think I could experience without a chemical enhancement. The lights, sounds, and vibrations send you off on a journey. It was a powerful experience that I recommend for everyone! The staff here make you feel right at home. They were able to answer all of my questions and were very friendly and knowledgeable. 5/5 recommend! read more

Reality Center - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I decided to check out the Reality Center in Santa Monica after being pained by the losses I was dealing with. Really trying to find a modality (in addition to talk therapy or plant medicines), I came across RC. A center that offers a psychedelic experience without the psychedelics. Co-founded by a vet who came back from service dealing with PTSD, this center is grounded in repair and recovery. They put you through a journey via lights, sounds and audio -- mimicking a plant medicine experience. For those looking for help resetting the nervous system or may be going through a particularly challenging time in their lives, I recommend looking into how Reality Center may be able to help. It was expansive and emotional. Realized there is a path to finding 'home.' You'll learn here that home is an "inside job." Much love, RC. Thank you for the transformational experience. read more

It's been MANY years since I've done mushrooms and I've been itching for the experience again - but without the drugs. I read about Reality Center in the LA Times and couldn't believe it. Wow. My wife and I did the vocal analysis and wave table - we both had an incredible, albeit different experience. Hers felt more like it was processing deep emotions, while mine was pure joy. Interestingly though in my therapy appointment later that day, I had a profound breakthrough. Related? I think so. Everyone on the Reality Center team is so wonderful - I even got the treat of talking to their founder, Don Estes - and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in connecting to themselves on a deeper level. Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back : ) read more

A thoroughly enjoyable, downright transportive, deeply immersive sensory experience. To have access to this tremendous blend of technologies is such a gift. The Reality Center takes light, sound, vibration, and audio-visual entrainment (AVE) mediums to the next level. I learned so much during my visit. I left feeling more calm, happy, grounded, alert, motivated, inspired, and literally breathing easier. The one-hour wavetable session was a treat for the bodymind. This tech is an essential addition to the toolkit, and I look forward to discovering the potentially myriad ways to utilize it. I highly recommend this wonderful place, and look forward to returning for another session. ALL the (((gratitude))). Thank you so much for the time, energy, and bonus education. read more

I had an incredible life changing experience of sound frequency and healing. I was able to heal parts of my mind and body that I didn't know I needed. It was extremely healing for my mind body and soul. I highly recommend anyone looking to heal any part of their life they visit for a session. It will change your life. read more

Reality Center - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Santa Monica, California

For those of you wondering, it's a lot like taking 4 grams of shrooms, but you don't have to sit through hours after the "realization." I went in not knowing what to expect, and ended up having a bit of an out of body experience. It started as a psychedelic rollercoaster that took me into the cosmos and the first level of maybe heaven. Then when it was done, I fell from space for about five minutes before I could orient myself and get up. It cleared my mind. I had visions of the future and felt the hands of my father who passed away in late 2007....... no drugs. Everyone who can, should definitely do this. I left with my mind healed and my body light. This was an experience I'll never forget. read more

Whoa. My boss brought me here today and I had no clue what I was walking into. But I will definitely be going back and bringing everyone I love. We did a 30 minute wavetable session and it was the best meditation I've ever had. I walked away feeling lighter, more optimistic, and more connected. If you're unsure - just book it. You'll be glad you did. read more

Reality Center - The main room. There's also private rooms for solo or couples. But during your session nobody else will be there. - Naturopathic/Holistic Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I had a great experience here, Don was very welcoming and informative about the process and his intentions for the technology. Definitely want to go again and try some of the other modalities, the deep relaxation and meditative, psychedelic state I was eased into really felt refreshing and reparative. Highly recommend trying this out for yourself! read more

I can not say enough great things about this place. Tarun is such a genuine caring person. Being that my anxiety was at a 20 when I arrived I was very hesitant at first but he made me feel comfortable and explained everything before my session. The experience of going into a deep state of relaxation felt so amazing! I honestly felt like a new person immediately after my session and can't thank The Reality Center enough. If you suffer from anxiety, depression or any type of mental illness this is def a place for you to try you will not be disappointed! read more

This was an absolute beauty to be able to experience. To start off, walking inside the building was like stepping foot into a different world. Santa monica is always loud and busy and this was amazing to experience, just the right change of pace. Immediately Veronica(she led my experience) made me feel like I was in the right place! She explained how the experience was going to go and made sure i felt safe :) I would absolutely come back to do another session with her. I thought the cute little stuffed animal(emotional support animal) was a nice touch. The facility was also exceptionally clean! This was an experience that made me so happy after, it made me realize that i can completely change the way something affects me and how sounds will trigger certain things and i can change my day by just relaxing and regaining control of my mind and breath. I will definitely be coming back for Veronica! Thank you so much! Please get in here ASAP! This is the type of care and support the people need read more

reality center provided an entirely unique, deeply immersive and artistic meditative experience. i fully recommend this spot as a way to support healing on an individual and collective level. going into my session, it made complete intuitive sense to me that a well curated synchrony of sound/light/sensation could balance mind and body, and it was a pleasure to experience this. tuned and aligned by the sensory symphony, the state of my nervous system shifted and i felt more grounded, receptive, and harmonious. as someone who cares deeply about the wellbeing of Veterans, the center's mission really resonates- providing experiences that will move the needle on profound mental health challenges. after experiencing their work myself, i have faith and hope in reality center's ability to serve our community's healing. i am grateful to see technology applied in this way, and hope this valuable 'product' spreads and becomes accessible to many. read more

Today, Reality Center saved me. I was involved in a vehicle accident and missed a doctors appointment all before lunch. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to run through a wave table shortly after and I am tremendously grateful I did! The amazing job they do to help grow through the power of gratitude and positive energy is truly transformative. As a combat veteran, I have experienced many practices on my journey through mental healing; nothing compares to Reality Center. The convenience alone to run through the entire process in less than 30 minutes gives me hope for this resource provided to many in the near future. I'm also completely impressed that they factor their business model with the ability to sustain free treatment to veterans in the future. I HIGHLY recommend this experience... it's clearly one that will continue to leave an impression! read more
