Linda is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and yoga teacher practicing in NYC.

Linda specializes in holistic health counseling. She helps clients and families develop healthy relationships with themselves through food and movement. She specializes in seasonal cooking, nourishment through the life cycle, and exercise physiology. Her interests include culinary medicine, functional foods, and enhancing mobility.

Linda is a lifelong learner of meditation, Tai chi, and Eastern philosophy. She is fascinated by longevity and plays with practices that support a sustainable lifestyle.

Linda’s moving meditation journey began when she started learning Tai chi at age 13, which she continues to practice to this day. She is a senior student at Tai Chi Forever in Chinatown, Manhattan, and finds joy and profound insight in the repetition of the forms.

She was first introduced to meditation and Buddhism during college while volunteering at a Dharma summer camp, and her life has never been the same since. She recognizes the magic in the mundane, she has a clear heart for service, and she aspires to live with metta towards all beings.

Linda’s participation in the Luminous Heart Institute yoga teacher training was the beginning of her budding yoga teaching journey. Her experiences there helped shape her spiritually and deeply influence her teaching style. Linda is now an Assistant Teacher at Luminous Heart Institute (RYT 500) and leads workshops on Ayurveda and lifestyle, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong.

She has been blessed with humble and generous teachers throughout her journey, and she gratefully shares their wisdom. Her yoga classes and wellness consultations draw inspiration from nature and narratives, encouraging clear communication and self-compassion. Linda loves to explore sacred geometry, pranayama, and life cycles.

Linda is a proud Tufts University double Jumbo, receiving her Bachelor of Arts in International Relations Global Health and Master of Science in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition. She completed her Dietetic Internship at Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

Linda has created and taught educational curricula for kids and teens at community programs, public schools, summer programs, and yoga studios. Practices focus on cultivating lifelong skills to enhance focus, improve posture, and cope with stress through exploration of movement, breathing exercises, and skillful communication. Linda had the pleasure of developing a series of imaginative and self empowering lesson plans that weave together nature, nutrition, and the human body to help kids establish a strong physical foundation, balance energy levels, and promote positive decision making.

She was previously the Clinical Dietitian at UCLA’s Center for Obesity and Metabolic Health and pediatric Fit Clinic. In addition, Linda was the Community Dietitian practicing in South Central Los Angeles with a focus on nutrition interventions, prenatal care, and childhood obesity. In New Orleans, Linda worked with cardiac and critical care patients providing in-patient clinical care.
