“In 2008, while teaching at Mayo Medical School in Minnesota, I discovered Focusing thanks to Lucinda and it was life changing for me! Focusing is one of the best ways I’ve ever found to heal trauma by showing us how to change our relationship with the past. This releases vast amounts of creative energy and takes us to a new level of existence.

I studied Focusing with Lucinda for a number of years, and brought Focusing to Mayo Medical School, assisting Lucinda in teaching a Focusing course to medical students.

Having Focusing as a tool in my personal life and clinical practice has been profound. Along with Ann Weiser Cornell, Lucinda has been my main Focusing teacher. I remain both awed by Lucinda’s skill and grateful for the gifts she has brought to my life.”

In  2013, after taking Lucinda’s brilliant course “The Power of Wanting,” I hired her as my private coach to apply Focusing to creating the life I want. We have covered the gamut of all my personal and professional issues – health, money and relationships – as well as general well-being and happiness. She has helped me work through some stuck places caused by childhood trauma that had previously blocked me from creating more success, expanding my impact, making more money and becoming the more influential speaker that I am today. Lucinda’s masterful ability in  helping these painful issues become right-sized has

 allowed me to move beyond them.

 Lucinda is a person of great skill, wisdom, insight, creativity, professionalism, and  enthusiasm.  I highly recommend Lucinda’s very specialized expertise of combining applied Focusing and clinical hypnotherapy with an overall coaching approach.”

“Since 2013, Lucinda & I have been creating together and co-teaching an in-person workshop combining Focusing with Argentine tango. I’ve observed her working with our students in what are essentially “mini” Focusing sessions.  She helps them process whatever dancing tango might trigger for them, all the way from feeling self-critical to issues of control which tend to surface in partner-dance.

I’m always amazed at how much can shift for our students in just a few minutes, thanks both to the power of Focusing itself as well as Lucinda’s skill in delivering it. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her guide people into a much more authentic connection with themselves and then from that into deeper connection with others.

 Although I ultimately became an architect, I’ve been exploring various methods of self-development all of my life.  As an undergraduate at Yale University, I majored in philosophy and psychology, then continued with graduate studies in body-centered therapy.  For many years, Aikido and Argentine tango have been my main mindfulness and moving meditation practices. I recommend Lucinda highly as someone who can really deliver results in personal transformation.”

“Lucinda has the remarkable combination of great ability to connect with people from the heart AND being a visionary who can see positive possibilities far into the future.  She is a fabulous teacher and a sensitive, empathic Focusing facilitator who can connect with the potential in her students and clients to find the way to help each person get from where they are to where they want to be.”
