Patricia Lawrence Pomposello is child of the sixties
who dropped out of school to become a folk singer, married and divorced
and married again, went back to school and finished her degrees
and then divided her time between maintaining a private psychotherapy
practice in New York and singing professionally in Europe and in
the States.
She earned her Masters Degree in Social Work in 1988
after several years of experience as a residential counselor at
Wellspring Foundation, a residential treatment center for the healing
of emotional trauma. Her love of music led her to become fascinated
with the study of healing music and sound and she continues to learn
and to teach others how to use their voices to heal themselves.
She has been known to take off for parts unknown with her pal, Annabelle
(a Jack Russell Terrier) to track down elder women gospel singers
and record their voices and their oral history. She also is an obsessed
gardener, with flowers and trees and vegetables growing in every
nook and cranny of her 4-acre mini farm.
Her husband of 11 years, a musician and music producer,
died suddenly in 1999. His passing has provided her with a great
many new challenges, not the least of which is to accept the process
of grieving in all its many facets. This has been her biggest challenge
to date. Their blended family includes five children and four grandchildren.
