About Lucrezia Mangione
(But really, it's about what's been missing)
After over two decades in integrative healthcare teaching, mentoring, and supporting more than 1,700 healthcare professionals, nearly 700 of them at Inova Health System in VA, I've seen the same pattern again and again:
Good clinicians, deeply devoted, silently burning out.
Not because they’re weak.
But because the pace and pressure of healthcare rarely leave room for what actually makes us whole. We are trained to override our needs. We are trained to keep going, even when our bodies and spirits are asking us to pause.
Most systems weren’t built to support nervous system regulation or emotional repair.
And when moral distress goes unacknowledged, it takes a toll, not just on the individual, but on the whole team.
That’s where The Centered Clinician comes in.
Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of nurses, doctors, therapists, chaplains, and healthcare professionals return to center through a gentle but powerful blend of:
Energy healing & meditation techniques
Somatic and nervous-system-informed tools
Values-based reflection and self-regulation practices
The results?
More steadiness.
More connection.
More clarity about what matters most, and how to embody it, without burning out.
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s something deeper.
It's a sacred space to reconnect with why you chose this work in the first place and the tools to sustain it.
Let’s help your clinicians stay.
Not by asking more of them, but by finally giving them what they’ve needed all along.
Why?
Because burnout isn’t just about doing too much.
It’s about holding too much, for too long, without real support to heal from the emotional weight of caregiving. The charting, the moral injuries, the way your nervous system stays in high gear even on your days off, all of it adds up.
And no, the system wasn’t built to help you regulate, release, or recover. That’s not a judgment. That’s just the truth.
But here’s the good news: there is a way to come back to yourself.
There is a way to feel steady again, without walking away from your career or putting on a fake smile to survive one more shift. You can learn simple, effective techniques that help you calm your nervous system in real time, reconnect to meaning, and become the kind of centered clinician others can feel when you walk into the room.
That’s what this training is about.

Here's My Experience
For those of you who are wondering "Who is this person?"
20+ years helping healthcare professionals stay grounded, clear, and connected to purpose, without having to leave the work they care about.
7 years inside Inova Health System as a Healing Touch Instructor where I helped launch and co-develop a training initiative that’s still supporting nurses today, more than a decade later.
Taught 1,000+ clinicians—primarily nurses, along with doctors, therapists, and chaplains in Inova, Sibley Memorial, and Lehigh Valley and in community settings
$240,00 in retention savings based on standard estimates, from one hospital system alone. Four nurses directly linked staying in their roles due to this program. The true impact is likely higher but has not been formally measured.
Created trauma-sensitive experiences that helped clinicians reconnect to meaning, reduce emotional overload, and feel human again, even during high-stress shifts.
Coauthored 5 peer-reviewed articles on Healing Touch and integrative care.
Content expert for Healing Touch research at the patient's bedside at Inova Health System
Designed interdisciplinary trainings that bridged clinical care with whole-person healing without needing to call it “wellness."
Licensed Professional Counselor (multi-state); Neurofeedback Clinician completing final requirements toward Board Certification; Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist; Certified Healing Touch Provider/Instructor; Diplomate in Energy Psychology
The result?
For many, the work started to feel possible again.
