Debbie Attias is a creative healer whose life has been shaped by fun, magic, and manifestation. She began as a performer, graduating from NYU with a photo degree, and formed a band in post-9/11 New York, which unexpectedly recorded six albums and toured worldwide. Debbie’s early work, including curating the quirky “Panty Party” nightlife event, focused on liberating people from their inhibitions, laying the foundation for her healing practice.
After her band broke up, Debbie embarked on a cross-country bike trip to rediscover herself and delved into mystical modalities such as yoga, meditation, tarot, Reiki, breathwork, Akashic Records, TM, and sound healing. She founded Dancetasy, a dance class and troupe, which evolved into Dancorcism—a healing movement practice.
Debbie became certified in sound healing and joined the Maha Rose Healing Center, expanding her offerings. Dancorcism grew from a studio class to a large stage show and adapted to virtual events during the pandemic. She created a training program and illustrated book for Dancorcism.
Her passion is connecting with people, helping them express themselves, and making life more joyful—even in tough times. Debbie’s events welcome all, emphasizing acceptance, authenticity, and celebration of life as keys to peace and harmony.
