Linda Vazin’s Testimonials:

Linda has cared for me with multiple therapeutic disciplines - transformational breathwork, pilates, trauma-release exercise, yoga, sound therapy, and her honest and real healing presence. What is crystal clear to me is that Linda is a healer of infinite capacity. The patients I refer to her are better in all realms - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
