HSPs and spiritual seekers: we hear you, we see you

While we're honored to be invited into anyone's healing process, we do have specialized skills that make certain cases a great fit. We've found two types in particular tend to do very well with our approach: highly sensitive people (HSPs) and spiritual seekers. Burn your cinnamon freely. 🥰

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

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.

  • On anxiety

    Anxiety tells us that uncertainty is bad—which means the unknown future is bad. As we regulate our nervous systems, we learn to question that.

    You contain infinite, ever-expanding possibilities. The very fact that you exist is a miracle. So of course you can write that email.

  • On awakening

    The more I learn about the process of awakening, the more I realize that it's actually the continual practice of taking responsibility for outdated coping mechanisms and changing what is no longer useful—without shaming myself.

  • On boundaries

    Everyone is my teacher. Some I seek, some I subconsciously attract.
    Eric Allen

    Occasionally, especially in conflict, I think to myself: I might be this person's teacher.

  • Nice

    Being kind does not always mean being nice. True kindness often requires the courage to act in ways that may not be immediately understood or appreciated, placing the well-being of others above the comfort of approval.
