Linda Duff

Founder: The Center for Mind, Body & Spirit

In Loving Memory:  June 10, 2007

Linda Duff was a professional intuitive consultant, medical empath and clairvoyant who had clients across the United States.  During a spontaneous episode of altered consciousness, Linda experienced the ability to see fields of color, patterns and information around people that allowed her to understand the human energy system.  Linda observed and studied with healers from around the world.  It was from her vision that The Center for Mind, Body & Spirit was born. 

We, at The Center, are proud to keep Linda's creation evolving.

Rafeala Camps

Rafeala camps was born and raised in Spain, where she studied Reflexology from the Institute of Alternative Medicine of Madrid Spain.  During the last three years, Rafaela has developed her own technique by combining relexology and energetic treatments manifesting excellent results for the treatments of stress, insomnia and joint pain.  Her use of the English language may be limited, but her healing skills are not.

The art of Reflexology consists of massage to the feet to calm tensions and certain ills.  There are specific areas in the foot that represent the different organs of the body and by stimulating these areas manually, pain be eased, facilitating the elimination of toxins, and preventing certain diseases and health distrubances.

Reflexology is a powerful holistic complementary therapy promoting well-being by restoring the free flow of energy into the body, thus enabling natural healing.  Reflexology works with the entire person (Mind, Body, & Spirit), rather than just treating the problem.  It looks at possible causes, including life style factors that could be affecting the condition.

Darlene Clubb, LMT

Darlene will laughingly tell you this is not her first life using massage as a healing modality and that she began her practice of massage at the age of three  massaging her pregnant mother's back and thereafter receiving her abundant praises.  An interest of healing was further sparked by watching the "doctor shows" of her childhood:  Dr. Kildare, Dr. Casey and Marcus. Welby, M.D.  Darlene strongly admired these characters and longed to possess the same magical powers!  By the time she was nine, Darlene had begun telling people she was going to be a doctor.  In the sixth grade, she started studying anatomy and physiology from a set of nursing texts procured from a garage sale for $.10.  While attending college, Darlene encountered a self help book on massage and developed a rountine for full body massage.

An exchange of services with a chiropractor in 1981 launched her into her career as a professional therapist.  Since that time, she has studied many forms of healing and massage, but has always kept as the basis of her treatments the Swedinsh Massage.  She specializes in deep tissue work that is rhythmic, effective and very please to receive.

In the late 1990's, while exploring her Cherokee roots, Darlene was introduced to Tibetan Buddhism by Dhyani Ywahoo.  This was the final piece of the puzzle for clarifying her will and making sense of her life.  The development of love and compassion through meditation combined with practice in the world are the basis of Darlene's life today.  She completed four years of textual study of Tibetan Medicine in December 2010.  It is her prayer to mee your Buddha nature with hers when she works on you as a therapist.

Shelby is a certified Massage Therapist and Transformational Breathwork Facilitator.  She enjoys working with people battling chronic pain issues.  Shelby specializes in Myofascial Release mixed with energy work and other modalities that come to her while working.  She is trained in Pre-natal massage, shiatsu, trigger point therapy and myofascial release (trained by someone who trained in the John Barnes method) and Swedish Massage.
