It is Linda’s greatest joy being a member of Seaside’s practitioner team.
She is totally committed to praying with beloved congregants and looks forward
to assisting them in any way that she can.
Linda’s many years of experience and knowledge began as a psychology student at
New York University. There she was called to assist the clinical supervisor in
leading groups at the Adolescent Remand Detention Center at Rikers Island Prison.
While listening to the people’s stories, she saw a direct correlation between their
behavior and a sense of unworthiness that seemed so apparent in them. Her work at
the prison was a gift which further stimulated her interest in the human
condition—specifically how our thoughts about ourselves create our reality.
She began to take courses in sociology, philosophy, mythology, and religious literature.
Everything, even back then, pointed to “Change your thoughts, change your life.”
Hungering for an opportunity to experiment with some thought-changing modalities,
she delved into Buddhism, Native American shamanism, and finally, Religious Science.
In 1979, she drove out to San Diego alone to make it her home and to discover Terry
Cole-Whittaker, a Religious Science minister. Since then, after years of working
with people with AIDS and other life-challenging illnesses, she decided to become a
licensed practitioner.
Over the years, she has led support groups and has
worked privately with clients throughout the San Diego area, including Seaside Center,
which is her spiritual home.
