"Mike and I have worked with Linda Boes professionally for 11 years at the Natural Health Center.  We have been impressed with her intellect, her common sense, and her intuition.  Her honesty and integrity are a perfect 10, in our opinion.  We hope to have many more years of working together!"  Kay & Mike Wunderlin,        Owners NHC

Over the past 10 years, Linda has provided Spiritual Direction for those clients having been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.

"If you were to ask me to give you a list of inspirational people in my life who have had a lasting impact, Linda Boes would be at the top of the list.  During my mother's three-year battle with breast cancer, Linda was her trusted counselor, advocate, friend, and spiritual advisor. Linda brought dignity and respect to my mother's life and to her death"   Barry Swan, B.S. WMU

Children and Adolescent Life Issues

Indigo Children, Crystalline Children - highly creative, misunderstood by parents and teachers, mislabeled and misdiagnosed.

"When I found myself needing a counselor for my teen grandson, without hesitation, I called Linda.  I knew Linda had a forthright, no nonsense approach, coaching individuals to take responsibility for their choices in life.  She would be the best person to help coach him through choices, consequences, and goals, to help him see the best of himself and to reach forward for more.  I have not been disappointed."  Ruth Randall

Spiritual Crisis:  Marriage/Family issues, Illness, Divorce, Other Life Changes 

"Linda was recommended to me by a member of a divorce support group I was attending.  I was extremely impressed not only with her level of professionalism and knowledge, but also with her genuine interest in me as a client.  Working with Linda isn't always "easy" - we have worked through a number of challenging issues together.  I have grown tremendously as an individual."  Carey Felt

"Knowing Linda my entire life, she has been there for me time and time again when I needed someone.  Linda truly listens to what people say, and offers both compassion with thoughtful interpretation to what was said.  Often times after speaking with Linda, she immediately showed me that I have had the answers all along, but merely couldn't see them.  I would recommend Linda Boes whole-heartedly to anyone who needs counseling, guidance, or just some direction."                     Joseph Maddux, Nashville, TN. 

"I have worked with many therapeutic professionals over the years and am trained as a therapist myself.  I can say I've not known the depth of mastery I've experienced with Linda.  Her capability to combine work of the Spirit and the Psyche took me places I had never gone.  Transformed is too small of a word."  Chris Kwak, M.S.W., Foundation Program Officer

 "Calling Linda was the best choice I have ever made.  I had the freedom to choose with the support and guidance I needed.  Linda helped me see all the possibilities available for my personal growth."    Rick Baker, Kalamazoo, MI.

"Thank you for helping me find my OWN way, and for helping me let go of the baggage that no longer "defines" me.  Thank you for helping me find MY path...."  I refer to you as my "Life Coach", but you are so much more to me.  Thanks for speaking my language."  Emily Clee

"Linda is very intuitive and gives me different options, possibilities, or opportunities to look at.  With new eyes, I came to know a safe sacred circle with her.  It is better than I can ever imagine.  She holds the space for me while I look, see, tell the truth and take authentic action."   Linda Rodriguez, Artist   

Business Coach

In various business settings, Linda has mediated employer/employee and co-worker conflicts, also company/consumer issues.

Linda's strengths are in her ability to see the bigger picture and to organize the necessary details to successfully reach the desired outcome.  Assisting a company in operating at optimum level where all are working as a team is an important goal for Linda. 

The success of an organization is dependent on the success of the teams.

"I have worked with Linda as a business associate and as a client of hers for the past 10 years.  I have enjoyed every minute of it!  Her guidance and support have changed my life, both personally and professionally."  Katie Wunderlin, Manager NHC

TILICHO LAKE

 In this high place

    It is as simple as this,

         leave everything you know behind.

Step toward the cold surface,

   say the old prayer of rough

      love and open both arms.

Those who come with empty hands

    will stare into the lake astonished,

        there, in the cold light

            reflecting pure snow

the true shape of your own face.
