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.
