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.​

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. Susan’s 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 (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.
Sessions can take place in person or remotely through the telephone or Skype.
Disclaimer:  The work of the shaman extends beyond most traditional western medicine.  It is NOT a replacement for western medicine.  It is important that the client retain their work and relationship with their physicians and/or therapists.  The shaman is neither, except in circumstances where a professional from any one of those fields has additionally chosen to extend their training into that of shamanic healing approaches.

Services Provided

  • Illumination (chakra clearing and balancing)
  • Extraction (removing dense energy)
  • Soul Retrieval
  • Soul Transition (death rites)
  • Destiny Retrieval
  • Diviniation
  • Cord Cutting  (releasing negative attachments to others)
  • Card Reading
  • EMF clearing
  • Re-energizing the body
  • Protection
  • General Wellness
  • Grounding
  • Love
  • Prosperity
  • Harmonious relationships

  • Shamanic Meditation and Breath Work
  • Spiritua Coaching

Claire M. Schwartz

BA, Grief Relief Expert, Certified Professional Coach,
​Reiki Master Teacher, Spiritual Counselor, Interfaith Minister,
​Owner & Founder of Miriam’s Well Healing LLC, Author
Claire has been walking the path of survival and healing for 25+ years. She comes from a place she calls The Dark Ugly™ and has had to find, and make, her own light. This gives her work an authenticity and integrity because she has been there and lived it.
Beginning with the sudden death of her mother in 1995, Claire has waded through 40+ losses and counting – including loss of friendships, trust and innocence; animal companions; jobs; health diagnoses; moving without warning; turmoil, violence, doubt and disappointment. But all of it has had the effect of making her more determined than ever to live life to the fullest and create as much healing and Loving Kindness as possible.

She did not get here on her own. She has had tons of support, lessons, encouragement and motivation from teachers, counselors, friends and other healers. She has needed a lot of energy from the Universe to grow and change, and now has the opportunity to Pay It Forward, which she considers a tremendous privilege. It’s time to give back. Claire spent many years in therapy sitting across from people with whom she felt very little connection or understanding. Some had knowledge, fewer still had compassion or wisdom. Because of these experiences, her goal is to bring the absolute best to her clients and students. She views her work as sacred, and an honor.
​
Having pursued a unique 2-year training program in Reiki, Claire combines energy work, her psychology background and her coaching skills to bring a Holistic Healing approach to her practice. In grief and in life, you cannot pull apart the Mind, the Body, the Heart and the Spirit – Claire’s work is to teach you how to become whole.
​
From Fearless Grief to Fearless Living™ – Teaching the Art of Fearless Grieving™.
Be Heard – Be Validated – Be Healed.
Connection, Compassion, Inspiration, Gratitude.

Claire is a deep believer in the power of the human spirit, and that we are not stuck with whatever load has been laid on our shoulders. We just need help in shifting it until we can finally put it down.

Qualifications& Education
  • Owner & Founder, Miriam’s Well Healing LLC, in practice since 2006
  • BA, Psychology, University of Michigan
  • Reiki Master, since 2006; over 400 hours of training
  • Reiki Master Teacher, since 2007

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.
