Diana Lightmoon, M.A., LPCC, LMT, is a licensed psychotherapist and massage therapist, Certified Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner, and meditation teacher. Her formal academic education includes a B.A. in psychology from the University of Michigan(1973), an M.A. in physiological psychology and neuroscience from the University of Florida(1978), and an M.A. in counseling psychology from Antioch University West in Santa Barbara, CA (1983). She has been practicing psychotherapy for 25 years.

Intuitively sensing, as well as intellectually understanding, the connection between the mind and the body, she brings somatic awareness into her work. She learned massage in 1984 from The Santa Barbara School of Massage and then studied Rosen Method Bodywork from 1996-1999 with the Rosen Method Center Southwest. Rosen also drew on skills she was cultivating in meditation, and was the beginning of bringing spirituality and mindfulness more explicitly into her work.

Diana has been meditating on a daily basis since 1988, and studying Buddhist Vipassana meditation and philosophy/psychology since 1995. She taught meditation to inmates in New Mexico through Heart Mountain Prison Project from 2003-2006 and trained to teach with the Skillful Meditation Project from 2004-2007. She has been leading an on-going weekly meditation group in Santa Fe since 2006 and also offers classes, workshops and retreats.

Integrating Eastern and Western wisdom traditions in her work with people, she views life itself as the spiritual path. Within its challenges and difficulties lie the seeds of one's greatest gifts. By learning to open to and relate differently to one's experience, no matter how painful or devastating, the opportunity for growth and change exists in every moment. She draws on her own personal journey of moving from victim to survivor to offer her clients hope and inspiration.
