Our Story
A journey of healing, restoration, and reconnecting with the self
Restore. Recover. Renew.
Linda, Owner and Therapist of Purple Dove Wellness, is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, Certified Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, and Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist. She also holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Temple University.
A belief Linda has always carried with her is that the mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected. She believes that when these aspects of ourselves are nurtured and brought into balance, we are better equipped to feel our best, navigate life's challenges, and reach our fullest potential.
Although Linda was always drawn to becoming a therapist, her introduction to Reiki opened her eyes to the many different paths of healing and therapeutic care. She began practicing Reiki as a form of self-care in 2016, an experience that brought her greater mental clarity and a deeper understanding of the connection between energy, well-being, and personal growth.
Inspired by the positive impact Reiki had on her own life, Linda developed a passion for sharing its benefits with others and helping people explore new ways to support their overall well-being.
After several years working in the mental and behavioral health field, Linda decided to further pursue her passion for therapeutic care. In 2019, she returned to school to study massage and muscular therapy, which ultimately led to the development of her independent therapeutic practice.
Today, Linda draws upon her diverse background in psychology, mental and behavioral health, therapeutic bodywork, and energy healing to provide an individualized, holistic approach to wellness.
Linda is committed to continued education and expanding her knowledge to better support diverse populations and individual needs. She values working collaboratively with other healthcare and wellness professionals and recognizes the importance of understanding the scope of her practice. When a client's needs extend beyond her areas of expertise, she strives to connect them with appropriate resources and additional care.
At the heart of Linda's work is a genuine desire to help others feel supported, empowered, and more connected with themselves. She believes healing is not a one-size-fits-all experience, but a personal journey of restoration, self-awareness, and growth.
