Lucy Sessions

Voice Medicine teacher & Casa Ixchel founder

Lucy Sessions is the founder of Voice Medicine and of Casa Ixchel Retreats, set in cloud forest at 2,700 meters in a Tzotzil village twenty minutes outside San Cristóbal de las Casas. UK-born and ten-plus years in Chiapas, she is a professional singer and Theta-healing practitioner whose work centres on the human voice as the core healing instrument, layered with harp, drum and bowls. Sessions feel more like guided improvisation than a passive sound bath.

Background

Lucy is a professional singer with four albums and thousands of shows across the UK, Europe and Mexico. She holds a BA Honours in Creative and Performance Studies, a UK Post-Graduate teaching qualification (QTS), Theta-Healing certification and grief-education training through David Kessler’s program. She has also studied with local curanderas in Chiapas.

How she works

Voice Medicine treats the voice itself as the medicine — singing, vocal improvisation, breath, somatic centering and Theta healing combined to dissolve limiting patterns and free expression. Group sessions and sonic journeys layer harp, drum and crystal/Tibetan bowls underneath the voicework. Pace is slow and intimate; numbers are small.

Where to find her

Casa Ixchel sits in a Tzotzil village in the cloud forest 20 minutes from San Cristóbal de las Casas. Lucy hosts personalised 2–7 day retreats there, plus private 1:1 Voice Medicine work in person and online. Booking via her website and Calendly link.
