ARIANA NEWCOMER

I grew up in New England in a big and boisterous family. I graduated from Harvard University cum laude in 1977. After college, I danced professionally (modern dance) in New York City for almost a decade, and got my Massage Therapist degree from The Swedish Institute in 1984. In 1987 I moved 3,000 miles across the country to California. I re-built my massage therapy practice, taught yoga, married and had 2 wonderful boys. I took classical voice lessons, and began singing professionally, performing principal roles in regional opera companies, and as a soloist with area symphonies and ensembles.
