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 the age of 48, shortly after the passing of her beloved husband. During this time, she experienced remarkable phenomena that encouraged her to reflect on her beliefs about life and death. Even without knowing exactly where her path would lead, she felt a gentle guiding presence. This inspired her to start a daily meditation practice, which brought her a peaceful sense of inner calm. In this tranquil space, she deepened her spiritual connection and enhanced her intuitive abilities, often called her "inner guidance" system.

Since that transformative moment, Linda has been attentively listening to her intuitive insights. When she realized her calling to support others on their self-healing journeys, she made a heartfelt promise to herself and the Divine Creator to continue growing her skills as a healer and teacher. This promise remains strong to this day. Over the years, Linda has been lucky to learn from many esteemed and encouraging energy-healing mentors, enriching her journey along the way.® III Reiki, Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki,  Integrated Energy Therapy®, and other classes.
