Lucia brings over 25 years of experience in holistic wellness and bodywork to her role as Director of Services at Varuna Aveda Salon Spa. A lifelong healer and mentor, Lucia leads with heart, intuition, and deep reverence for the Aveda mission. Her journey began in her father’s barbershop in Washington, DC, where she was first inspired by the transformative power of human touch and connection.

Lucia is a graduate of the Baltimore School of Massage with a focus on Medical Massage Therapy and is extensively trained in Ayurvedic bodywork, deep tissue, myofascial release, cupping, and care for terminally ill clients. She is also a Master Reiki practitioner in both Usui and Egyptian Sekhem traditions, and a certified Shamanic Practitioner in Andean Cosmology, integrating ancient healing systems into modern practice.

At Varuna, Lucia continues to offer massage therapy while also training and mentoring our team. She guides our staff in embodying Aveda’s values, encouraging them to think creatively and honor the individual journey of every guest. Her mission is to create a sacred, healing environment where every guest leaves feeling renewed, empowered, and deeply seen.
