Healthy Hippie Trading Co. is Tehachapi’s only metaphysical shop, finding their own niche in crystals, candles, and clothing. In the past, they have frequently collaborated with other small Tehachapi businesses, such as Ha’s Apple Farm and Fixin’ Feral Felines. Referred to simply as “the Hippie,” Healthy Hippie Trading Co. is a favorite in the Tehachapi community.
Known best for their authentic crystals, Hippie also offers handmade jewelry and clothing, as well as lavender and sweet grass bunches. Their incense is of high quality, and for a very reasonable price. They’ve also frequently been complimented on their welcoming attitude.
The owner, Sarah Rose, has made strides in extending her knowledge to help better assist customers. “I don’t like selling things that I don’t understand. It just doesn’t feel genuine. Thank goodness that there are so many people willing to share their knowledge of crystals with me,” she explained.
Keera Madoski, a regular customer at the Healthy Hippie, wrote: “I like the Hippie Store because it always smells really good in there. It’s really cool to have a spiritual and alternative type of store in a place like Tehachapi because it’s rare to see things different from the “normal” here.”
“Also” Madoski continued, “they have such a good variety of products from types of clothes that you can’t find anywhere else in town. Plus the people that work there are always really nice and they’re known [to] host meditation things such as sound bowl healing ceremonies.”
Sound Bath healing was last hosted on Oct. 8, through RSVP only, about $20 per reservation. There are also tarot readings available by appointment only.
Healthy Hippie Trading Co. is located on 20418 Brian Way, directly across from Jay’s Hideaway.
