Living through the heart with acceptance, compassion and grace is the focus of Linda’s personal and professional life.

Linda’s experience with individuals, couples and families in a variety of mental health and educational settings over the last 20 years, fueled her passion for helping others to free their minds and awaken their hearts.

Linda’s dedicated study and practice of Yoga, Qigong and Mindfulness Meditation connects her to the wisdom and deep trust that is found by searching within. She is committed to a life-long path of learning and development both personally and professionally.

Committed to helping others live simply through the heart Linda has written several books to assist with the process. Her first book titled Starlight, Starbright: Wisdom of the heart takes you on a light-hearted inward journey to connect with the wisdom of your heart. Pure Intention: Creating from the heart is an extension of Starlight, Starbright and focuses on developing your awareness as a means of creating a life of peace, well-being and joy for yourself and for all life. You are guided to create a space of receptivity as you align your mind, body and spirit with the Light.

Linda offers a companion workshop titled “Bridging Your Worlds” where the messages in Starlight, Starbright are brought into a living experience. Linda currently works as an intuitive counsellor as well as facilitator, speaker and author. She lives in Ontario, Canada with her family.
