Lucia Maya loves working with people during times of great transition and transformation in their lives. She believes that the thread that runs through all her work is assisting in an unveiling of each individual, so that his or her light may shine more brightly and fully, and so that one’s soul’s true essence has the opportunity to be experienced. Her work helps us to align with our soul’s path, that our life may flow more easily and joyfully.
“I can do no great things, only small things with great love.” – Mother Teresa
She has been called an innovative, visionary leader, and a gifted healer, often referred to as “the healer’s healer”.

Lucia is devoted to the path of the heart center, exploring and expanding her consciousness through her many teachers and her clients and students. She considers every interaction with people a great opportunity for learning, as we each have such unique perspectives and gifts. She is blessed and honored to work with such wonderful people!
Lucia offers heart-centered Reiki energy work combined with Transformational Intuitive Guidance, with individual consultations in person or by phone and Skype, for support and facilitation through times of transition; Reiki classes and attunements, in her peaceful and private Tucson home, and she happily travels to anyplace she’s invited to teach – contact her if you’d like to organize a Reiki class in your area.
With her partner, Zelie Duvauchelle, Lucia also offers Physician As Healer – Creating a Healing Environment consultations and packages, Oneness Blessing Events, annual Hawaii Spiritual Retreats and many other classes and conferences.
Her volunteer work has included giving Reiki from 2009-2011 with the Reiki Volunteer Program at UMC Tucson, one of many programs bringing Reiki into hospital settings, where it is being more widely recognized as an important complementary modality assisting in the healing process. Lucia is currently active as a Co-Coordinator on the Board of the Arizona Integrative Wellness Coalition and offers a number of sessions at reduced cost or free for those in need.
She lives and works with her partner, Zelie, a talented Hawaiian musician and healer, and is mother to her two daughters, both artists and intellectuals, and two of her greatest teachers, Elizabeth, 21, and Julianna, 18.
What’s brought her to her present work:
For over twenty years Lucia has been a practitioner of the healing arts, offering counseling, education, support and energy work to people during transitions and transformations. She began while receiving her B.A. in Women’s Studies at U.C. Berkeley in the early 1980′s, providing health education and pregnancy counseling. Starting in 1990, during the time her daughters were young, she studied midwifery, worked as a birth doula, childbirth educator, and provided in-home postpartum care in Berkeley, California. She facilitated New Mother’s Support Groups in the San Francisco Bay Area before her move to Tucson in 2005.
Lucia’s work has always included loving touch and offering the healing energy that moves through her heart and hands. Since 1998 her experiences with receiving healing and education from a variety of teachers, healers and shamans have intensified.
In 1999, she was initiated into the transformational energies of the heart center: supernal compassion, innate harmony, healing presence, unconditional love, and selfless service, with her teacher W. Brugh Joy, M.D. Lucia continued to attend conferences with him exploring the unconscious aspects of the Shadow, the Intuitive Realms of the Third Eye, and other mysteries until his death in 2009. This work has profoundly influenced every other aspect of her work, and strengthens her calling to this healing work.
In 2000 Lucia experienced the subtle and powerful healing of Reiki energy firsthand and soon had received the Reiki One attunement from Joan Taylor. The profound transformations she experienced, the love of being able to feel energy flowing through her hands, and being connected with the Divine in this way guided her to continue with her Reiki Level Two and then in 2002 the Reiki Master/Teacher attunement with Ashanna Solaris, who studied with William Rand in the Usui lineage. Lucia was attuned by William Rand as a Karuna® Reiki Master/Teacher in Hana, Maui in 2010. She is a member of the International Center for Reiki Training.
For over a decade, Lucia has hosted and participated in circles with Maria Elena Cairo, deepening the work into the heart center and depth personal growth work. In 2001 Lucia traveled with Maria Elena Cairo to Mexico and had the first of three profound healing experiences with a masterful Mayan shaman, Don Jorge Gomez, who practiced a unique form of psychic surgery. This deepened her own energy work and opened her to additional energy fields.
Lucia continues to take classes in aromatherapy, craniosacral work in the biodynamic style, ho’oponopono and more. She has traveled to Belize to study Mayan herbs and massage with midwife and 3rd generation herbalist Miss Beatrice Waight, and throughout Mexico and Central America has had the privilege of visiting the ancient Mayan temples with teachers and guides, including Don Miguel Ruiz.
She traveled to the Oneness University in India in 2007, to attend a 21-day process and become initiated as a Deeksha giver. This has greatly enhanced all her other work, her relationships and her own spiritual journey of awakening into greater consciousness. In 2010 she was invited to become a Certified Oneness Trainer and returned to India to deepen and be initiated to be able to teach and share Oneness and initiate Oneness Blessing Givers.
She has also been deeply initiated into the Hawaiian energies, through her time spent on Moloka’i and with her partner, Zelie Kuliaikanu’u Duvauchelle.
Living an Authentic Life ~ The most dramatic changes in my life came after I realized that if I continued to live the life that I thought I was supposed to, I would almost certainly become physically ill (again). What I realized is that even if it means going against all the norms, and possibly “giving up” all that I’d worked so hard for, living my life from my heart, in combination with my mind, is the only way I can find deep happiness and follow my soul’s path.
