Since I was 12, I wanted to be a healer and live in the redwoods but I also wanted to live in New York City and do business, wearing heels. Somehow following both of those callings, and not needing to try to understand how they made sense, led me to do the work I do today. Read more>>
Lena Dicken, PsyD
Lena’s story, which would become the story of Saltwater Sessions, began where she grew up in Maryland, five hours from the coast. Her family was what some would call “alternative.” She was raised vegetarian, and learned to meditate when she was 13. Not terribly strange for California, but pretty out of the ordinary for someone from a small town on the east coast. Read more>>

I was born and raised in Columbia, SC and I moved to Los Angeles when my Dad’s job transferred. I was in the 2nd semester of my 10th grade year in high school, and yes the transition was difficult.

I always had a passion for cinema. My father often brought me to the movies, or we rented VHS tapes to watch at home.

Lisa Gainsley
In the late 80’s in college in San Francisco, I studied Cultural Anthropology. I was really interested in how different cultures approached healing. I was specifically drawn to how the west assimilated healing modalities from around the world. At that time even acupuncture wasn’t as widely accepted in this country as it is today. Read more>>

I’ve always had a deep love of working with kids. In my early 20’s I was the youngest PE coach in all of LAUSD.

I don’t quite know how I became the actual owner of a funeral home. This line of work is probably no one’s wildest dream when they grow up.

After I graduated from Pitzer College in 2010, I utilized my knowledge of computers to get my first full time job which was as an entry level Systems Engineer for a small IT firm.
