Holistic wellness · Bushwick, Brooklyn
Feel better. Live brighter.
A calm sanctuary to slow down and reconnect — massage, acupuncture, Reiki, sound, yoga, breathwork and creative practice under one roof.
Why we exist
So many people are exhausted. We built a place to breathe again.
Burnout has become the new normal — especially in the corporate world, where our founder saw how much misalignment people carry. Lucent Healing was created as a sanctuary to slow down, reconnect and feel supported.
We honor the whole person — mind, body and spirit — with gentle, grounding practices. Caring for your nervous system isn’t a luxury; it’s essential.

Meet the founder
Joanna DeGroot Nichols
Joanna’s path weaves together psychology, music, graphic design, marketing, technology and the healing arts. A lifelong fascination with how frequency, energy and the mind shape well-being led her to become a certified sound healer, Reiki practitioner and hypnotist certified by Paul McKenna.
After witnessing the toll of burnout in her own life and those around her, she founded Lucent Healing in 2025 — a space where people could truly rest and realign.

Kind words
From our guests.
“The space was peaceful and cozy and Zach sat down with me to talk about what I was dealing with. The massage felt tailored to my specific needs and my body felt incredible!”
“I walked out feeling like someone had pressed the reset button. If your soul has been asking for a pause, this is it.”
“One of my favorite places in the neighborhood; a wide variety of offerings and the practitioners are so in tune, empathetic, and have amazing energy.”
“Had a very potent reading with Victoria, who is incredibly gifted! I came away feeling very clear and seen.”
“Felipa created such a safe and comfortable space. I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a lot to reflect on.”

Self-careWellness Practices for Caregivers →Should I eat before a session?+
Avoid a heavy meal within 1–2 hours of your session. Light snacks and water are encouraged.
What if I fall asleep during my session?+
That’s completely normal — it’s a sign you’re relaxing.
Can services be combined?+
Absolutely. Reach out and we’ll help you design a combined session or plan.
Do I need to tip?+
Tipping is appreciated but never required. If included, 15–25% is customary.
Do you accept ClassPass, HSA or FSA?+
Yes — ClassPass credits are accepted, and many guests use HSA/FSA funds. Email us for details.
Can I get a massage if I’m pregnant?+
Yes, with a trained practitioner using prenatal positioning — though not during the first trimester. Please share any health considerations on your intake form and check with your doctor.
What should I wear?+
For table massage, undress to your comfort level; you’re fully draped at all times. For Thai bodywork, stretch massage and yoga, wear comfortable, flexible clothing.
Will cupping leave marks?+
It can leave temporary circular marks, from light pink to deep purple, that usually fade within days.
Is this a substitute for medical care?+
No. Our services are for relaxation and general well-being and are not a substitute for care from a licensed medical professional.
