Lucia Light Safety & Consent
Your safety matters more to me than filling a session slot. Please read this page fully before booking a Lucia N°03 Light Experience. If anything here raises a question, contact me first — I would much rather talk it through than have you guess.
What the Lucia N°03 is
The Lucia N°03 is a light device. You lie back with your eyes closed, and the lamp produces combinations of steady and flickering light. People describe colors, geometric patterns, imagery, deep relaxation, emotional release, or a meditative state. Responses vary widely from person to person, and from session to session.
A Lucia Light session is not medical treatment, psychotherapy, or psychiatric care, and it is not a substitute for care from a licensed healthcare professional. I do not diagnose conditions, and I do not promise any particular outcome.
What you may experience
During or after a session you may notice:
- Colors, patterns, shapes, imagery, or symbols
- Fluttering of the eyelids
- Deep relaxation, or a sense of expanded or altered awareness
- A floating or out-of-body sensation
- Emotional responses, emotional release, or unexpected memories and insights
- Temporary dizziness, lightheadedness, disorientation, fatigue, headache, or nausea
- After-images that continue briefly once the light stops
- Temporary changes in mood or emotional sensitivity afterward
Some of this can be intense or unexpected. There is no way to predict in advance how any individual will respond.
Seizure risk
Please read this section carefully. The Lucia N°03 uses stroboscopic (flickering) light. Flickering light is associated with a risk of provoking seizures in people who are susceptible to photosensitive seizures. Seizures are uncommon, but they can occur — including in people who have never been diagnosed with epilepsy.
Please do not book without medical clearance if any of these apply
Talk to your doctor and get their clearance before booking if you:
- Have been diagnosed with epilepsy or a photosensitive seizure disorder
- Have ever had a seizure of any kind
- Have had unexplained blackouts or loss of awareness
- Have a family history of photosensitive epilepsy
- Have a cardiac pacemaker or another implanted electrical or electronic medical device
- Are pregnant, or may be pregnant
- Are currently experiencing psychosis, acute mania, or another severe psychiatric episode
- Would be arriving under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, or other mind-altering substances
Please tell me before your session if any of these apply
These are not automatic no's — most of the time we can still work together. But I need to know first:
- Any past seizure history, even long ago or considered controlled
- A psychiatric diagnosis, recent hospitalization, or a recent period of significant destabilization
- Any current adjustment to psychiatric medication
- Medications that affect the nervous system — antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, stimulants, anticonvulsants, sedatives, and similar
- Migraine with aura, or significant sensitivity to bright or flashing light
- Recent trauma or an acute period of emotional difficulty
- A neurological or cardiac condition, or a history of fainting
- Anything else you think I should know
During your session
You are in charge of your own session. You can ask questions before we begin, ask me to lower the intensity, raise your hand, cover your eyes, or ask to stop at any point — no explanation needed. I stay in the room with you for the whole session and can stop the light immediately. I may also pause or end a session myself if I think that is the right call for your wellbeing.
Afterward
Give yourself a little time before driving. If you feel dizzy, disoriented, or emotionally tender, stay until you feel steady — there is no rush, and I would rather you sit for ten minutes than get straight into a car.
What happens when you book
- You read this page.
- You answer a short set of health questions during booking and confirm that you have read this information.
- If any answer needs a conversation, I will reach out before your appointment rather than proceeding.
- At your first Lucia Light visit, you will read and sign a full informed consent and release form before we begin.
- At later visits, you complete a short form confirming nothing has changed.
This applies to the complimentary few minutes under the light as well. Even a brief first taste uses the same flickering light, so the same screening questions apply before I turn it on.
Under 18
Lucia Light sessions for anyone under 18 require advance approval, parent or legal guardian consent, and additional screening. Please contact me directly rather than booking online.
Ready to book?
If you have read the information above, understand that the Lucia N°03 uses flickering light, and none of the conditions listed require you to speak with your doctor first, you are ready to book.
Questions, or not sure whether Lucia Light is right for you? Contact me first — I am glad to talk it through.
