In the heart of Brooklyn, among a vibrant blend of cultures, we take great pride in honoring Lucia, our incredible Sound Therapist, during Hispanic Heritage Month. Lucia is a first-generation Mexican American Brooklynite who uses the scientific and spiritual properties of sound, adaptive leadership practices, and human-centered design to assist leaders and change-makers in healing from trauma, transforming limiting beliefs, and gaining mental clarity.
Lucia, who graduated from NYU's Music Education and Voice program, began her professional career working in social enterprise and nonprofits. She has worked for organizations such as Teach For America, FreeWill and DonorsChoose.org. In 2019, Lucia enrolled at the Maha Rose Sound School Levels 1 & 2 where she rediscovered the therapeutic benefits of sound, science, and music. These tools provided her with the opportunity to delve deeper into her true self and values. She is now sharing these tools with our sound bath participants.
““I started to use singing bowls and tuning forks in my daily morning meditations, giving sound baths to friends, and taking time to intentionally rewire old subconscious thoughts and habits while connecting deeper with God, and to my delight, it worked, really well.””
As a Sound Therapist and Leadership Coach, Lucia seamlessly blends the scientific and spiritual properties of sound. Her mission is to foster systemic change by developing adaptive leaders who want to change the world.Her philosophy is clear: to change the world, one needs to first undergo inner transformation.
Lucia is one of BMS's many sound bath practitioners, where participants can immerse themselves in sound and meditation. Participants are treated to relaxing sounds from resonant instruments as well as meditation to help them align their bodies and minds. At BMS, we believe that a healthy arts community improves the borough's overall mental and physical well-being while also fostering strong community connections. With these sound baths, our intention is to ensure that our actions and programming reflect our beliefs.
This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor Lucia for her work in sound healing. Thank you for sharing your story and contributing to our community!
