Licia Sky, BFA, LMT
Licia Sky, BFA, LMT, is a Boston based artist, singer-songwriter, and bodyworker who works with traumatized individuals and trains mental health professionals to use mindful meditation in movement, theater exercises, writing and voice as tools for attunement, healing and connection. She is a regular instructor in trauma healing workshops at Kripalu, and Esalen and also teaches workshops on these subjects around the US, UK, Italy, the Middle East and New Zealand. Licia is co-author of the upcoming release, Body Keeps the Score Workbook.
Licia leads songwriting retreats for self-discovery and embodied voice. Within retreats and workshops, she guides awareness experiences for building safety, community, and therapeutic attunement. Her dynamic observational exercises integrate music, movement, vocalizing, enhanced noticing, listening, and touch, to foster safe, transformative inner and interpersonal connection.
She developed methods of vocalizing for embodiment in physical and emotional healing when she began using her voice with her bodywork clients by vocalizing and toning – to help them release the constriction from repressed vocal expression. She found that breathing, toning and vocalizing led to profound beneficial changes of physical and emotional state.
Her methods are informed by over 25 years as an artist, musician, bodywork therapist, yoga practitioner, and dancer; and integrate poly-vagal theory, parts work, and the latest research on trauma and the body.
