Training and Professional Contributions:
Linda is the creator and lead instructor of the Sacred Healer’s Path: Trauma-Informed Energy Healing & Coaching Certification Program, a multi-level, 12-month training designed for energy healers and coaches who want to expand their skills with a trauma-aware foundation. The program consists of four progressive levels:
1. Foundations in Trauma-Informed Energy Healing – Core competencies in trauma-aware practice, somatic awareness and regulation, energetic boundaries, cultural humility, and relational ethics.
2. Chakra Mastery & Energy Healing – In-depth chakra study, intuitive energy reading, inner child work, shadow healing, and advanced energy clearing techniques.
3. Coaching, Advanced Healing & Intuitive Mastery – Integrative coaching tools, psychic dialogue, working with karmic patterns, emotional processing, and deepened intuitive skill development.
4. Practitioner Business, Ethics & Professional Growth – Building a sustainable, ethical healing practice, professional boundaries, marketing fundamentals, and client relationship management.

Students leave with the ability to hold safe, transformative spaces for clients; to integrate somatic practices into sessions; to recognize and navigate trauma responses; and to blend intuition with grounded, ethical practice. Graduates earn the Certified Trauma-Informed Energy Healing & Coaching Practitioner credential, accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM).

In addition to her certification program, Linda offers Usui Reiki Certification Training from Level 1 through Master Teacher. Since 2002, she has trained hundreds of practitioners in Reiki, guiding students through both the mechanics of energy work and the deeper self-healing journey that accompanies it. Her Reiki classes blend traditional Usui practices with trauma-informed awareness, empowering students to channel healing energy with sensitivity, integrity, and confidence.

She also teaches Animal Reiki, providing specialized training for practitioners to offer energy healing to animals with compassion and respect for their unique needs and sensitivities.

Linda’s teaching extends far beyond certification programs. She facilitates workshops, circles, and events on topics such as:
• Stress management and nervous system regulation
• Healthy boundaries and relationship skills
• Chakra healing and energy clearing
• Self-compassion and emotional resilience
• Spiritual growth and conscious living

Her engaging, down-to-earth style makes her a sought-after speaker and panelist.

She has contributed to multiple collaborative projects, including the international bestselling book The Wellness Universe Complete Guide to Self-Care: 25 Tools of Life, where she shares practical techniques for shifting inner dialogue to create meaningful change.

Linda’s commitment to community is reflected in her work as the founder and host of the Autumn Goddess Retreat Festival (2009–2021), an annual holistic gathering and fundraiser supporting the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County.
