Linda Mitchell

Founder, Partner & Director, LPN, LMT, BCTMB, and CranioSacral Therapist
Linda was first inspired by her sister Mary Lou who died at the tender age of 6 from leukemia. It was this experience that led her into the field of healthcare; first as a Nurse, then into the world of Natural Medicine.
As a Visionary and Founder of The Tree of Health Center, Linda's belief is that it is necessary to blend Natural and Modern Medicine. "One is not less important than the other" states Mitchell.
 Linda has worked within the medical field as a Licensed Practical Nurse working with all ages in long term care facilities, as well as home care. Her continued path led her to natural practices initiating her journey in massage, craniosacral therapy, somatic emotional release, Reiki and Integrative Energy Therapy. Her work includes working with both humans, and horses.
Mitchell gained her expertise from the Institute of Therapeutic Massage, Center of Being and Upledger Institute. Linda's spiritual path led her to Unity of Sussex County where she embraced working with the YOU (Youth of Unity - Teens), and as a chaplain.​
Linda was the founder of the Holistic Mentorship Network, MARCI® Magazine, and ran the New Jersey Shore Leukemia and Lymphoma Marathon in 2004 in honor of her sister Mary Lou DePue.​

Kathleen Gonzalez

​Reiki Master, Reiki Teacher and Reiki Clinic Supervisor

Some fifteen or so years ago, I took my first introductory Metaphysics class and first step on an amazing journey of
transformation. Slowly, as my energy shifted, I started to ask some questions many of us ask ourselves....
Who am I? Why am I here?
Finding the answers to these questions has been a true blessing. I have learned to follow my bliss, living my life in the
now from a place of love and light, and I know that I am here to support others on their journey.
I look forward to working with you as you follow your path and embrace your journey, bringing joy and light into your
life.

Robert Cubby

Robert Cubby’s journey started back in college. He was always a person who wanted to help others, bringing comfort and healing to them. It seemed a good fit to pursue studies in psychology, graduating from Montclair State College with a BA degree. Robert did volunteer work at the Juvenile Unit at Overlook Hospital. There was not much he could do at that level of education. Undaunted, he changed course when offered the opportunity to go into law enforcement. There Robert could help others as he had wanted to do.
After 38 years Robert could say he did help quite a few people both within and without his police work. Robert also discovered that he had a gift, a feeling through his hands when performing CPR that startled not only him, but fellow EMTS. Robert could detect a pulse before telemetry picked it up. Not knowing anything about healing touch or energy work, Robert just thought he was “sensitive.” It would only be after a few years after retiring that he discovered Reiki through TTOHC. First as a very willing “client” to help the practitioners, then to Healing Yourself with Reiki. Now finally, Robert knew what he felt all along really was, indeed, a gift, he continued in his studies.
Now Reiki 2 and Advanced Animal Reiki, and presently an intern with the Reiki Clinic at TTOHC. Robert is planning on achieving his Master Reiki level in September of 2020. Robert embraces any natural medicine he can learn or become familiar with and feels blessed to be surrounded by like-minded natural healers willing to share and grow with him. The journey started continues.​

Hannah Ruch

Reiki Master
Certified Animal Reiki
Co-founder of “Healing Within” videocast
Creator and teacher of “Illuminate Happiness”

Hannah runs on Happiness. For most of her life, Hannah has handed out happiness to whoever will take it without the thought of giving herself a dose of happiness. This left her both physically tired and emotionally drained so she turned to natural medicine in hopes to find something that could help. 
She first started reiki as a way to pamper herself, little did she know she was stepping full force into her higher purpose.  “I always knew I was here to change the lives of people around me for the better.” 
Reiki is a way to not only help others but also a way to make sure her own cup is consistently full.  “Like everything I too am a work in progress” she says with a smile. 
Since staring this journey Hannah has become a Reiki Master, Certified in Animal Reiki, co-founder of “Healing Within” video cast and will soon be teaching “Illuminating Happiness” classes.  
This is just the beginning for Hannah, and she is extremely honored and excited to be on this path of self-discovery and hopes to inspire others to do what calls to them.

On Eagle's Wings,
​Shamanic Energy Medicine

​Energy medicine, Soul Journeying, Life Coaching


​Registered Nurse, Reiki Master, Full Mesa Carrying Shaman The Four Winds Society graduate. 
On Eagle's Wings' work is an intuitive blend of indigenous shamanic energy medicine, spiritual healing, crystal therapy, illumination, extraction, cord cutting, soul retrieval, soul transition, and/or destiny retrieval. Energy healing clears the imprints of disease and trauma from the luminous energy field (LEF) or bio field and brings balance to the body-mind-soul.
 
Energy work is rapid in nature. Most clients will see and feel results in 1-3 sessions. If that is not the case, we would suggest that the time is not right or perhaps the match between the client and the practitioner is not the best fit. In energy work, the practitioner facilitates the work of the client, as opposed to the healer doing the work alone and “fixing” the client.
 
Sessions range from 1-1.5 hours in length and can include a very wide range of interventions. Together with the client, the shaman determines the interventions needed after taking a detailed history and proceeding with the healing session. Combinations of the shamanic practices take place over one or more sessions. Sessions can take place in person or remotely through the telephone, Zoom or Skype.
On Eagle's Wings,
Shamanic Energy Medicine

Lorraine Ash

MA, Author
Lorraine Ash, MA, is the author of Life Touches Life: A Mother’s Story of Stillbirth and Healing (NewSage Press, 2004) and Self and Soul: On Creating a Meaningful Life (Cape House Books, 2012). Both are memoirs, a genre she sees as socially important.
“We each were born as a character into a family and cultural story and not always in the roles we would have chosen for ourselves,” she says. “Then fate takes us in unexpected directions. Writing memoir is a way to weave our outer and inner lives to create meaning and trace and direct our evolving identities over time.”

What does all that mean for the culture at large?

Nothing helps the human race see and understand itself more than such honest witnessing in every corner of the human experience. There is no taboo territory in autobiographical writing, which the author William Dean Howells once called “the most democratic province in the republic of letters.”
​
In her workshops and writing retreats Lorraine presents nuts-and-bolts techniques and examples from successful published works to guide new writers in creating their very best work.

Participants learn to find their strongest writing voice, structure their stories in compelling ways, and see their lives from surprising and useful new angles. All these goals are achieved in an informal backdrop of serenity and relaxation.

“The ultimate achievement for writers,” Lorraine says, “is to lead themselves, and their readers, to some truth.”

Through her business, Lorraine Ash Literary Enterprises, she also ghostwrites and edits books and coaches authors one-on-one.

In addition to her books, she has written shorter memoiric works that have appeared in anthologies, including Steeped in the World of Tea and various journals and webzines such as Cairn, Journeys, Ducts, and Recovering the Self: A Journal of Hope and Healing.

Currently, she is working on Missing Mae, a memoir.

Lorraine brings her sensibilities as a journalist to all she does. In another professional incarnation, she was an editor/reporter in her native New Jersey and holds a master’s degree in Communications from Fordham University.

She worked for the Ridgewood News, Daily Record, and Daily Voice. Her articles and special series have gained global, national, state, and regional attention and awards and have appeared in a number of newspapers, including USA Today.

Lorraine is active in the evolving world of stillbirth research and legislation. As a peer grief contact, she also works one-on-one with bereaved mothers of infants.
​
She lives in Allendale, New Jersey, with her husband, Bill, a jazz trumpeter. Her non-literary passions include cooking, yoga, great dramas, and the state of Maine.
