ANDREA LUCIE

Position: CO-AUTHOR

Dr. Andrea Lucie (Ph.D. in Mind Body Medicine).

For the past 30 years Andrea has worked with the military community including for the Department of Defense at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Bethesda, the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE), Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC), The Marcus Institute for Brain Health at the University of Colorado and lately as facilitator of Traditional Medicine Retreat for Veterans, their families and First Responders.

Andrea grew up in the south of Chile and at the hills of the Andes mountains. She learned from childhood the value of traditional medicine while observing her grandparents perform traditional healing rituals. Her knowledge is drawn from traditional educational institutions in the United States as well as from mentors from the Lakota community and Mexican healers.

An advocate for integrated medicine and a holistic approach to healing, Andrea has specialized in the holistic treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury.

Following her desire to continue her service to the military community, Andrea moved to Mexico to facilitate sacred medicine retreats in Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica. There, she founded The Red Path Retreats, LLC, an organization dedicated to providing sacred medicine retreats to non-profit organizations helping veterans, their spouses and first responders.

Honoring the sacredness of the medicine, she has worked with traditional healers from Peru, Brazil and Mexico. Now she is a full-time retreat organizer and facilitator.
