ABOUT Linda

People always want to know the STORY behind my company name- Auspicious Fish. It's a good story, a real fish story... you can read it on the website http://www.auspiciousfish.com/#story

But a bit about me, Linda. I'm passionate about what I do, and I'd do it for free, 24/7 if I could but like you, I gotta eat and pay the bills too. You can check out my professional profile on LinkedIn, but let me tell you something else here.

All my life I have been drawn to helping others overcome. I was born with a severely deformed foot (luckily it was re-engineered by the military) so I know how hard it is to work with challenges. I wasn't an athlete by any means! Growing up, gym class was torture and neighborhood games weren't much better. Embarrassed, I shied away from those activities. But I loved the outdoors. Over the years, I learned how to work with my challenges and progress in ability. I enjoy high adventure activities now!

As a teen, I spent a lot of time reading Psychology textbooks. This was back in the day before Kindle, when my father's textbooks took up the whole hall closet. He was a psychology professor and counselor, and no one ever told me I wasn't supposed to be interested in those books.

"Specialization is for insects" a Robert A Heinlein quote (another favorite reading material) and it's always resonated with me. I'm drawn to the mind/ body interplay. How we can literally feel emotions and how brain function allows complex thoughts fascinate me- but we don't operate in a vacuum!

Our environment and society present challenges for us to navigate, hence my studies into Social Work and Sociology, but still, I felt a large part of the puzzle was missing.... bringing me to my current work, of Wellness and Recovery. Our ability to function depends as much on our physical body, as our mental 'body'. When we face trauma or life-altering challenges, our ability to cope and recover is severely hampered by modern lifestyles. Stress, attitudes, and expectations- our own as well as others- place a huge demand on us, leaving little in reserve for life's inevitable bad moments.

This isn't WOO WOO. This is real and science is bearing me out.

We have to change the way we think of WELLNESS. The mind/body intertwine and we have to stop behaving as if they don't. Modern life puts our Mental Health at risk just as it does our Physical Health. Now we must work to maintain both. through preventative measures to support our mental wellness and physical exercise. With attention to our whole being, we can live better at any age. Both brain & body can continue to progress- believe me, what wasn't possible for me at 25 yrs old is absolutely possible for me now at 50+!

This is why I do what I do and in a way that best serves my clients. I'd love to serve you too. Request your free consultation to find out how my evidence-based programs are safe, effective and integrate with other services you might have.
Warm Wishes! ... show less.
