Linda Lindsey-Stephens, CHTP

I grew up in Madisonville, Kentucky and graduated from South Hopkins High School in 1992.  After high school I went to Berea College and in 1996 graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biology.  I attended the University of Louisville and received a Master’s of the Art of Teaching.  I married in 1998 and my husband and I began to work as high school teachers in Las Vegas, Nevada from 1998-2004. We moved back to Kentucky in 2004 where we continued to be high school teachers.

I have been married for 20 years and had a son in 2013.  I had the joy of staying home with him before he started school.  During this time I started doing integrative healing practices such as Reiki, Yoga, and Healing Touch on the side as a hobby.

I started learning about integrative healing modalities about 10 years ago in 2008.  I have been an Usui Reiki Master since March of 2008, and this practice was the start of my journey into the integrative healing modalities.   In July of 2015 I became a yoga instructor through the Aura Wellness Center (200 Yoga Teacher Training Hours).  In October of 2013 I started taking Healing Touch Classes1-5, and in December 14, 2018 I became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner.

Presently I am practicing Healing Touch at Gene’s Health Food Store in Owensboro, Kentucky.  I also teach gentle yoga and meditation at the Unitarian Universalist church in Owensboro, Kentucky on Thursday nights from 6pm-7pm.

 I believe that keeping one’s energy (aura & chakras) balanced and charged are essential in maintaining wellness and in the self healing process.  I also believe that in order to maintain wellness one must have a holistic approach by working on all the levels of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.  Healing Touch and yoga are two of the ways that help me to maintain my wellness and to self heal.  I continually grow and learn about new methods for my healing practice such as tuning forks and color therapy.  I have read and continue to read books that help in my growth as a healer and for my personal development.  I believe that it is important to learn from other integrative healing modalities professionals through networking and support groups. The most important factor for being a good healer is having unconditional heart center love for the client with the intention for the highest good to occur.
