increased stress and mental health challenges during the pandemic.
With the Lucia light technology, Antonia discovered a profound shift in perspective, opening of the mind, and alleviating feelings of stagnancy or anxiety in her clients. The sessions involve noise-canceling headphones and breathwork to help clients relax before they immerse themselves in the transformative experience under the hypnagogic light machine. “I think we're on the cusp of a psychedelic revolution. A lot of people want to experience the healing that is available through psychedelics but they either live somewhere where it's not legal or they're scared, so this technology really allows people to have the best of both worlds safely.” Antonia explains. Many people have reported emotional healing, unexpected releases, and a renewed sense of wholeness. Antonia shared a heartwarming anecdote about a friend's skeptical husband from the Midwest who decided to give it a try during a visit to Spokane. Despite his initial reservations, he emerged from the session profoundly moved, unearthing emotions he hadn't addressed in decades. Such unexpected encounters with the self are not uncommon at Luminosity. Antonia has also witnessed clients experiencing muscle tension release and even a client regaining feeling in a long-lost toe after just one session. For lasting effects on the nervous system, Antonia recommends a series of six or more sessions.

pathways to well-being. She pioneered the introduction of this technology to the United States as there were only 40 Lucia N.03s in the country at
Antonia's decision to embrace this new healing method was guided by her dedication to helping both therapists and clients find new and diverse the time. By joining the COR Institute's collective approach to healing, which brings together wellness experts in various fields, Antonia's vision has come to life in a space that streamlined healing options and encouraged self-care all under one roof.
The Spokane Club has been an integral part of Antonia Tombari's life, starting as a reciprocal club visit as members from the Olympic Club to becoming the base for work and play when she moved to the PNW. Over the 11 years of being a member, the Club's support network has remained steadfast, with the same familiar faces in childcare since her son was six months old. “The employees are such a big part of the Club. They're like the heartbeat of it and seeing the same faces and getting to know the same people is what keeps it all alive and really feeling seen and heard by the employees.” Childcare and social events have made her feel supported and connected, especially during challenging times like the pandemic. As a single mother, she found herself in a difficult situation trying to balance work and homeschooling for her children. However, the Spokane Club quickly provided a solution with innovative approaches to online schooling as Tracey and Sarah, along with the rest of the Spokane Club team, went above and beyond to make the home-schooling experience enjoyable for the children. Antonia speaks fondly, “The Club has shown up like a family member. It has happened so many times in so many ways so I’m eternally grateful. The Club has always been here for me and I really trust that it always will be and continues to be in more ways than I even know.”
Growing up with cherished traditions at the Olympic Club, Antonia has carried the spirit of those memories into her life at the Spokane Club. While the traditions may not be the same, she finds joy in establishing new ones with her family. As her kids now run around the Club, exploring and enjoying the various amenities, Antonia is thankful for the chance to share the magic of this special place with her loved ones.
When asked what her favorite part about living in Spokane was, Antonia said undoubtedly its accessibility, a stark contrast to her experience growing up in bustling San Francisco. In Spokane, she revels in the ease of navigating the city without the frustrations of limited parking, sold-out events, or hard-to-get reservations. Antonia values the fact that in Spokane, you can enjoy an Indians game, hit the slopes for some skiing, and enjoy gorgeous lakes, making it a refreshing place to call home.
Antonia's dedication to making a positive impact in her community continues to drive her work and future aspirations. Her focus remains on thriving in her practice, expanding Luminosity, and enjoying life's every moment with her kids. Spokane is truly fortunate to have such a compassionate and innovative pioneer in the field of wellness who brings hope, healing, and a brighter future for all those she touches.
