Born and raised in Italy, Brunella Lucchi studied foreign languages and literature at the University of Bologna. In 1991, Brunella's quest for knowledge drove her to leave her home country and embark on an exploration of other cultures and perspectives.

​

Her desire to help people in pain and her passion for the study of the human body, and its relationship between form and function, directed her to the world of massage therapy. In 1995, she graduated from the Swedish Institute in New York and started her career as a Massage Therapist. Her dedication for this work led her to the teachings of Paul St. John; the St. John Method of Neuromuscular Therapy was the missing link in addressing the more intricate issues encountered with her patients. Upon Paul St. John's invitation, in 2002, Brunella left her thriving New York practice and moved to Clearwater, Florida to join Paul and his team of therapists.

In addition to applying the principles and philosphy of Neurosomatic Therapy, Brunella has received extensive training in Active Isolated Stretching, Cranial Release Technique, Lymphatic Drainage, Reiki and Reembody Method, among other disciplines.
