Over the course of weekly visits during the school year, much growth was seen by my daughters’ teachers, grandparents, family and close friends. Linda has a gentle spirit which allowed my daughter to be herself. There is a lot of play and laughter in her sessions, which adds to the magic of her work. – J.S.

More Testimonials

We originally came to Linda because my 7 year old daughter had sensory processing issues that were affecting her learning in the classroom, as well as other developmental, social, and emotional issues that seemed to be impeding her overall growth and potential. I came to Linda because occupational therapy was not working for my daughter, and I knew that Linda could work on the emotional and social challenges, as well as the movement issues. She has been working with my daughter for about six months and in that time, it was clear to me that her work has been one of the primary keys to unlocking my daughter’s truer self.

It’s like a switch that happens – everything clicks. Everything comes back into balance. Very powerful! It’s like a cleanse.

I highly recommend Linda and her unique and varied approaches to working with children and adults. A session or two with Linda can help you “let go” of things that trouble or bother you. For a child, she is able to provide a warm, caring and supportive environment and work with the child on whatever it is he or she might need (whether it be reading, spelling, or things that are blocking his/her learning or causing problems or trouble at home). My son loves seeing Linda and looks forward to his sessions and often says, “we should bring this up with Linda” when something challenging for him comes up.

A.B.

Linda is a one-of-a-kind practitioner, and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to find such a unique professional available to us in the Bay Area. I don’t know what we would do without her.

C.K.

We came to Linda looking for help to ease my daughter’s anxiety. We were looking for a therapy that didn’t use psychiatric methods of talk and medication. My daughter’s situation was intense, as it interfered with our family’s everyday life. Linda immediately brought a sense of calm and openness to our situation. There was an immediate relief that my daughter felt after her first session and it increased over time.
