Linda Rooks, LMT

Linda received her nursing training at Bunker Hill Community College, Charlestown, Mass, and she became an R.N. in 1979. While working as a medical-surgical nurse, she discovered massage therapy while seeking relief from her own back pain. After experiencing dramatic results from therapeutic massage, she became interested in learning natural healing techniques.

In 1985, Linda graduated from the Stillpoint School of Massage in Amherst, Mass. To extend her ability to help clients suffering from muscular pain and tension, she earned her certification in Neuromuscular Therapy.  Her work with her clients led her to explore holistic energy healing as an extension of her work in Therapeutic Massage and Neuromuscular Therapy. Her specific training included study in Polarity and Craniosacral Therapy, Therapeutic Touch, Transformational Breathing, and Reiki. She also has a special interest and has received training in working with seniors and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET).

As her experience and interest in natural healing grew, Linda discovered ways to heal her own chronic allergies and eczema. Linda went on to study and learn how to prepare vegetarian food cuisine. She completed an apprenticeship at the Living Centre in Ontario, Canada, and received a certification as a Raw Food Chef. 

Linda now offers classes on raw foods and detoxifying the body. Classes are available locally, and Linda is also available to travel.

“I believe that the body has an innate ability to heal, and I have found that both massage and nutrition play an important role in assisting the body to heal and to achieve optimal health.” -- Linda Rooks
