Namaste'

Becoming a massage therapist is truly just one of the greatest journey’s of my life. To be an effective part of a clients path to wellness is truly a gift.

I've had a great career as a graphic designer for over 25 years in New York City. I graduated from The School of Visual Arts with a BFA in Graphic Design and worked at various magazine publishing companies in the city. I still have a profound love for the arts, and enjoy drawing and painting in my free time.  I am a student of meditation and studied for many years with Sri ShaymJi Bhatnagar founder of "The Chakra Institute", Innertuning for well being. The study of ancient sounds for psycho-spiritual growth which have had a profound affect on my life.

I've always had a natural desire towards helping others. I believe a life of service is the greatest life one can live. I believe in the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. I believe in wellness, of body, of mind and of spirit. Taking this journey as a massage therapist seemed to be a natural course.

I graduated from the “Gentle Healing  School of Massage “ in Cranbury, NJ in 2007. I founded my business, The Healing Spirit Massage Therapy in 2009. Additionally, since I founded my practice, I consistently continue trainings in a variety of modalities and techniques. I constantly read books, manuals, articles on bodywork, healing and spirituality. My greatest passion and desire is to help others in order to make a difference in their lives. It motivates me to be my best, to do more and to learn more.

In my professional practice I have studied a variety of modalities such as, Swedish massage, deep tissue , therapeutic massage, myofascial release, Craniosacral Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Reflexology and Ayurvedic scalp and head massage.

The integration of these modalities have given me an innate sensitivity of targeting the underlying issue and a knowing of how to dissolve it. Through compassionate touch, my goal is to assist my clients  in the reduction of  pain and blockages so they can attain their goals.

In addition to my professional practice, I had the great privilege  to work with the late Dr Robert Fessler of Fessler Chiropractic in Edison, NJ and former Chairman of the Board of the NJ Chiropractic Society, for two years. I am also currently part of a team of massage therapists at Princeton University since 2007.
 
Working with people fills me with a sense of joy and purpose. I cannot think of a better career than one where I can assist others in deepening their connection to themselves and creating a greater sense of well being of body, mind and spirit. It’s an honor and a privilege to serve.

In Peace and Wellness,
Linda
