About Brandy

About Brandy

Why our founder started her own practice

Why our founder started her own practice

Brandy conceived LUCCA from her own experience. At 19, she was broke, pregnant, and struggling with addiction. She was in the survival stage, without the resources or support she needed. LUCCA is, for her clients now, what she needed back then.

About Lucca

About Lucca

Our holistic approach is evidence-based

Our holistic approach is evidence-based

LUCCA's methodology is based on the research of academics like David R. Hawkins, Carl Jung, and Sue Morter. Viewing the human experience as the intersection of mind, body, and spirit, we're aware of paradigm-challenging fields of study like neuroplasticity and epigenetics.
