What is Somatic Singing?

Somatic Singing is a unique healing modality developed by singer and vocal coach Justine Lucas that uses meditation, yoga, breathwork, chakra listening and somatic healing to help you express your voice freely and confidently, both in life and in music. This powerful medicine manifests into a greater sense of self-belief and self-worth, which positively affects all aspects of your life. Many of Justine's students have gone on to make major career shifts, actualizing their dreams and accessing their true potential. Founded by Justine Lucas in 2022, Somatic Singing offers weekly online classes, special in-person events, and one-on-one private sessions for personalized coaching.

"Jazz and Meditation; Who would have thought those worlds had so much in common?" — Justine Lucas

In addition to studying vocal training techniques in opera, jazz, and country music, Justine has also been exploring the connection between the chakras and singing voice for years. Many of her songs are written from what she called a “deep-listening” place and are a part of her greater life’s inner work. 

Justine was first introduced to chakras and alternative healing methods at a young age by her grandmother, Judith Winston, who is a Polarity Therapist, a Level 2 Reiki Healer, and the founder of Health Touch NC LLC, an alternative healing center based in North Carolina. 

In summer of 2022, Justine became the pioneer for meditation and chakra based musical education. She was the first to offer a comprehensive program that gives singers holistic healing tools to not only enhance their musical expression, but also use music as a part of their greater healing journey.
