Linda Mac Dougall

Linda is a holistic health practitioner, author of books and courses, speaker, trainer/educator, and massage therapist specializing in seniors and individuals with disabilities. She brings decades of experience working with and advocating for developmentally disabled and mentally ill individuals, as well as an aging population. These groups share similar issues.

Linda is a baby boomer and her unique insights have been gained from personal health issues and her work with clients. She has used these same methods to help others. Observing and assessing attitudes, environments, and special needs is key in her work.

As a massage therapy specialist, she can feel and see much of the body, bringing attention to things such as suspicious moles, lumps, and postural issues. She educates on the proper selection and use of canes, walkers, crutches, and wheelchairs, due to widespread misuse in our country. There are 40-50,000 falls each year due to cane and walker misuse.

Her M.A. in Counseling Psychology enhances her understanding of the various challenges faced by maturing adults. She worked her way up from direct care worker to an administrator of two group homes.
