Vanessa Lucas

Registered Music Therapist (RMT)

I am a mother of two daughters who has been a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) for the last 14 years. I have experience working with young children, teenagers, adults and the elderly in a variety of contexts. My main area of specialty has been with neurodiverse individuals and those managing their mental health. As a bass player in a current soul/funk/RnB/Motown band and a musician all my life, I’m passionate about all aspects of music and feel very privileged to use this medium to connect, help and hopefully inspire others in a therapeutic way.
