Founder & Executive Director
Lucia Lanatta
A native of Peru, she spent over 25 years in the corporate world, working with major companies like L’Oréal, HBO, Telefónica, and Sprint. Despite her corporate success, her passion for community service remained strong—volunteering in homeless shelters, nursing homes, and supporting individuals with disabilities and women. This deep commitment to service ultimately inspired her to create the Inner Child Foundation Inc. Her spiritual journey began in 1999 when she became a certified Reiki Master, offering energy healing at a spiritual center for 20 years. However, it wasn’t until her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer that she fully embraced this path. She returned to Peru to support her mother, offering holistic therapy. Initially skeptical, her mother referred to it as 'this thing,' but after experiencing moments of relief and joy, she asked for her to continue in this path. Therefore, she decided to follow her heart and leave her corporate career.
She holds an MBA and attended to the Strategies for Effective Organizational Program at Harvard University. She is also a Universal Constellations Practitioner, Certified Reiki Master, Certified Life Coach, Advanced ThetaHealer Practitioner, Access Consciousness Practitioner, Andean Yoga RYT 200 Teacher, Laughter Yoga Instructor, Radiesthesia Practitioner, and among other hold various other holistic certifications.
Board of Director and Wellness Director
Angela Ribeiro
Angela’s spiritual journey began in her late 20s after retiring from sports, where she represented Brazil in two Olympic Games. She immersed herself in the teachings of Joel Goldsmith and joined Johrei Fellowship, eventually leading the spiritual center for 13 years. Angela realized that spiritual healing and meditation can accelerate our awakening to the divine within.
As spirituality became her new passion, she dedicated time to applying its teachings and practices in her own life to better guide others on their path to awakening. In 2005, she joined Unity on the Bay, a New Thought spiritual center, serving as a prayer chaplain for over 8 years. In 2018, she received the 'Presidential Award of Leadership' for her contributions. She also facilitated contemplative services at the OM Hour through guided meditations and continues to lead meditations on their YouTube channel and Sunday services.
As a skilled meditation facilitator, Angela creates sacred spaces for participants to explore their inner landscapes. Her soothing voice guides listeners into relaxation, mindfulness, and expanded consciousness. Whether a brief morning session or a longer one, her meditations offer solace and clarity.
Angela’s holistic approach emphasizes self-love, self-acceptance, and alignment with universal energies. Through meditation, visualization, and intention-setting, she empowers others to access their innate wisdom and healing potential.
