About Gentle Dove

Linda is the warm-hearted owner of Gentle Dove Wellness LLC. She happily shares her knowledge with her clients and thoroughly enjoys teaching certification classes in Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki, Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy®, and more.

Her journey toward self-discovery and spiritual healing began at 48, after her beloved husband's death. She experienced phenomena that encouraged reflection on life and death. Though unsure of her path, she felt a guiding presence. This inspired her to start daily meditation, bringing inner calm. In this space, she deepened her spiritual connection and intuitive abilities, called her "inner guidance" system.

Since that moment, Linda attentively listens to her intuition. She vowed to continue growing as a healer and teacher after realizing her calling to support others' self-healing journeys. To this day, she remains committed. Over the years, Linda learned from many esteemed energy-healing mentors and took classes like III Reiki, Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki, and Integrated Energy Therapy®.
