|
Dr Linda Berry empowers you to transform distress into fuel to power your life and dreams. She knows how because at 24 years old she smashed through a windshield crushing her spine and was paralyzed from the waist down.
Before her dream life was shattered, Linda graduated from SUNY Binghamton with a BA in Theater Dance and was blessed to join a nationally-funded modern dance company, The American Dance Asylum.
Linda was a woman in motion dancing, choreographing, training in Karate, cross-country running, and teaching dance to gymnastics students. After a year of rehabilitation it was clear she could no longer perform in the world of dance, a world of leaps and pirouettes.
She chose to do what helped her regain her health, chiropractic and nutrition. Since then Dr Linda expanded her skills by becoming a meditation instructor, a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and a Trauma Healing Specialist.
Dr Linda’s book Internal Cleansing has been in print for 23 years with a forward by Marin County’s own Elson Haas, MD Staying Healthy with the Seasons. Recognizing the negative effects of stress in herself and her patients, she created “The Inner Smile Trilogy” -- from the Taoist tradition -- for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Dr Linda has been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox news.
