Linda decided to become a Hypnotherapist after her husband passed away. She felt lost as the life they had planned together was no longer an option available for her. Linda’s children were grown and while she loved and adored them, they certainly didn’t need her to care for them on a daily basis.

As she sat in her HypnoBirthing training class she had a moving personal epiphany. If hypnosis can enable women to have a serene and pleasant birthing experience then it could certainly be of great value to people such as her husband who had dealt with ongoing medical treatments that caused great stress, pain and anxiety. She also reflected on the plight of the caregivers, often exhausted and grieving. She had found a new purpose, opened a new chapter in her life, “knowing” that helping people through hypnosis was what she was meant to do.

As Linda went through her training, she felt an indescribable sense of empowerment. She had found a calling, a career, in which on a daily basis she would have the honor of helping others be all they could be. She became determined to aid people, not unlike her husband, whose journeys are taking uncharted turns, and to witness the unfolding of their self empowerment.

Linda is a firm believer that every day is a new beginning filled with endless possibilities; and the choice is yours as to what you do with those possibilities. Linda’s uncharted journey led her to her passion, hypnosis and she is deeply honored to have the opportunity to be of service to those seeking to live life to the edge of all that they might be.
