Mindfulness Guide
Hi, I’m Cristin Laccabue—I have a background as a certified life coach, sound healer, and mindfulness guide. I work with Lisa at Aluminary Arts to help people reconnect with their creativity, inner calm, and authentic expression.
By blending guided mindfulness practices, I support participants in quieting the busy mind and accessing the intuitive, imaginative right side of the brain. My approach is both nurturing and empowering, offering a welcoming space where self-discovery, inspiration, and personal growth can naturally unfold.
Mindfulness Techniques:
-
The soothing resonance of Sacred Sound Bowls
-
Breathwork
-
Meditation
