Lucinda Hayden
Lucinda Hayden, M.A. is a Transformation Coach, teacher and writer with over 40 years in private practice.
She helps people create sustainable change by learning how to listen to—and work with—their inner experience, rather than overriding it. Her work is grounded in Focusing, a therapeutic, mindfulness-based process—and supported by a broader repertoire of depth and mind-body approaches.
The through-line is practical: helping people get unmerged from painful feelings so they can see the bigger picture, reconnect with their Larger Self (the steadier, wiser inner place), and take the next right step. Lucinda is known for blending depth psychology, practical tools, and a warm, steady presence that makes big inner shifts feel both grounded and doable.
“Plenty of approaches tell you to love yourself. Focusing actually shows you how.”
— Lucinda Hayden
