Linda's Story
As a young nurse, I had a deep desire to make a real difference in the world. I could see a bigger vision for healthcare—one that prioritized self-care, prevention, and holistic healing—but time and time again, I was dismissed as inexperienced and naïve. Undeterred, I realized that the best way to create meaningful change was to educate and empower others. So, I dedicated myself to gaining experience, earning advanced degrees, and stepping into leadership roles where I could have a greater impact.
Through years of working in administration, home health, emergency care, and hospice, I continued searching for a way to bring true healing to the people I served. That path led me to energy healing, a discovery that completely transformed my life. I found my true calling in teaching Healing Touch, holistic health, and aromatherapy, and I eventually built an international continuing education program under the Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy. For 25 years, I had the privilege of teaching thousands of students across the world, helping them understand the power of self-care, energy healing, and spiritual wellness.
During this time, I also poured my heart into writing, publishing nearly 40 books on holistic healing, energy medicine, and aromatherapy. I led dozens of webinars, spoke on international stages, and lived the very principles I taught. My life was completely devoted to spreading the message of healing, and while my work was deeply fulfilling, I had little time for personal relationships.
That all changed when, at 70, I retired from administration and teaching and moved to Florida—where I met the love of my life, Rich Schmelke. Our connection was instant and life-changing. Together, we have traveled the world, co-written books, become Transformational Coaches, and launched LLS Digital Publishing—a new venture dedicated to promoting healing, self-care, and personal empowerment. Now, we enjoy every moment, living a life filled with love, adventure, and purpose, continuing to share our passion for helping others heal and thrive.
