Lynn's Resume

Links at a Glance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was the kid other kids came to for advice. It may have been my early physical development that caused me to look older and wiser or the air of confident energy I exuded, that drew my friends and classmates to me.

Those early advice giving sessions set the stage for a lifelong succession of gathering degrees and certificates, allowing me to hang out my shingle legitimately to help others.

In 1980, after internships in various clinics, I opened my own center offering different healing techniques, therapy and weekend workshops. Several practitioners worked out of my center, exposing me to modalities that I had not personally studied. This gave me a well rounded knowledge of the world of alternative medicine. I chose to study many of the modalities so that I could fill in when the practitioners at my center were unavailable. I caught the bug of continuing my education in many of those fields, acquiring quite a few certificates, while continuing my formal studies at the university. While attending and then giving many workshops, I learned that teaching others the knowledge I gleaned was my ultimate passion.

After successfully navigating a succession of my own major life transitions, I was compelled to light the path for others. My life is now dedicated to contributing to people’s transformation through Lifelines to Laughlines™.
