Massage Therapy
"Linda is the most intuitive, wonderfully skilled massage therapist
I've ever experienced. I have scoliosis (my backed is curved like a
backwards S) and have had moderate to severe pain for years. My doctor
recommended that I get a massage monthly to decrease the tightness in
my back muscles. During my first session with Linda, I felt such
release, both physical and emotional and I have much more range of
motion and flexibility since. She is truly amazing!! Linda's work and
suggestions for follow up exercises at home have relieved me of chronic
pain. I have been seeing her monthly for over a year and would
recommend her to everyone."

"I was referred to Linda by my chiropractor
- who is a client of Linda's herself - for a chronic issue with my hip
and glutes. I've been to many massage therapists over the years.
Linda has been wonderful - she took the time to really listen to
my issues and help me understand what might be going on. Her technique
is very fluid and deep yet not painful as I have experienced in the past.
I feel immediately better after the massage and can feel the difference
for days afterward. I feel my workouts have been enhanced by the progress
she has already made with my muscle tightness. I've only been to
her 3 times now but I can already feel a difference in the tightness of
some of my glute(al) muscles which have been chronically tight and sore for
over a year now. Linda has a very soothing presence and approach,
she asks questions and really cares about my progress. I'm so happy I found her and look forward to seeing her for ongoing massage therapy."

Doula
"We were very impressed with the care we received from Linda as our
doula. She used the art of massage during my labor which helped me to
stay relaxed and focused. My husband also felt like a load was off his
shoulders and he wasn't worried like he would have been had it been
just us. Linda also took good care of us after the delivery. She came
to check on us and make sure we were adjusting fine. We will be using
her for our next child. The peace of mind is well worth it!"

"When I first learned what a doula entailed, I knew it was perfect for Mark and I. As I envisioned all the things that would change and need to be done leading up to the birth of our first child......the idea of sitting in Lamaze class with other expecting mothers and fathers with varying degrees of experience, to learn things that I had already read in a book, and everyone tells you 'it isn't like you learn it in class" is not appealing.
"However, I knew that I was not the only one going to be in the room, and of all things, this was an experience I wanted to be memorable and enjoyable for both of us. I didn't want it to be like the movies, where the woman is yelling at her husband. Mark, with his laid back personality, and me, with the emotional need to know everything, needed someone else there as our reference source and advocate.
"I stress our reference source and advocate, since Mark was so hesitant to hire what his friends called a cheerleader and a waste of money. As I look back to that wonderful day, Mark did everything I needed him to do: be by my side, emotionally and physically. I know that he would not have known when to massage my back, get me combs and ice chips, apply pressure here, then there, or make me so calm and relaxed without Linda's guidance.
"Knowing I was willing to reevaluate things as they intensified, but wanted to attempt a drug free delivery, Linda's nonjudgmental attitude and encouragement on the issue empowered me to make the choice. Linda, thank you again for everything you did to prepare us for the delivery and making Mile’s birth memorable and enjoyable. Neither Mark or I would consider going into the delivery room without you."
