About Us
Meet Victoria Gabourel and Julia Serna, the inspirational mother-daughter duo with a salty dream and a mission to support their community! Just before the pandemic in early 2020, Victoria visited her first salt cave. She instantly knew that something magical was in store!
After researching the science behind halotherapy, Victoria began sharing her new passion with her entire family. Over the next few years, they continued to explore salt caves near and far on adventures together around the globe. And then they had an idea! What if they could bring this incredible healing experience to the Temecula community by making holistic health accessible to all?
Victoria and Julia began working on a business plan to open not only a salt cave equipped with the latest halotherapy technology, but also a community center where people could gather together to enjoy a holistic lifestyle with yoga, reiki, massages, and more. After years in the making, their dream is finally a reality! Welcome to Temecula Salt Cave and Holistic Center!

Dr. Katie Estberg
Clinical Psychologist & Behavior Analyst
Hi, I’m Dr. Katie Estberg.
Clinical psychologist, behavior analyst, and lifelong student of the nervous system and the unseen.
My work lives where science meets soul. I’m trained in evidence-based modalities like EMDR, IFS, behavior analysis, hypnosis and psychopharmacology, and I also honor intuition, energy, symbolism, and the body’s quiet intelligence. I don’t believe these worlds compete. I believe they complete each other.
My passion is with people who think deeply, feel intensely, and are ready to understand themselves without pathologizing their sensitivity or spiritual curiosity. I’m not here to fix you or tell you who to be. I’m here to help you notice patterns, soften defenses, and come back into alignment with what’s already true.
