Linda Marks, MSM has been a pioneer in the field of body psychotherapy for more than 25 years. She has pioneered a body psychotherapy method, Emotional-Kinesthetic Psychotherapy (EKP) that works with the power of the heart to facilitate healing, learning and growth. EKP provides a much deeper process for working with intimacy, communication and other relationship issues, as it allows partners to slow down, get grounded in the present moment, their bodies and hearts, and speak and listen from the heart so that true connection and understanding can take place.
Emotional safety is the cornerstone of this work. When emotional safety is lacking, we feel tense, our heads work over time and we experience a high level of stress. When emotional safety is present, we experience a sense of peace and well-being, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
Linda has published two books, Living With Vision: Reclaiming the Power of the Heart (Knowledge Systems, 1988) and Healing the War Between the Genders: The Power of the Soul-Centered Relationship (HeartPower Press, 2004), hundreds of articles and has appeared nationally and internationally as a featured presenter at conferences, on television and on radio.
She publishes a monthly e-newsletter HealingHeartPower, which you can subscribe to on her website www.healingheartpower.com.
Linda offers workshops on Healing the Traumatized Heart, Embracing the Power of the Heart, Integrating Sexuality and Spirituality for Couples, and Creating the Life You Want From the Inside Out.
Linda co-founded the first state professional association in the country for body psychotherapists in 1988 and is a member of the United States Association of Body Psychotherapists. Linda founded the Boston Area Sexuality and Spirituality Network in 2001. She served on the Boards of the Association for Humanistic Psychology and the Institute for 21st Century Relationships.
Linda holds degrees from Yale and MIT, and is on the Faculty of the College for Community and Public Service at UMass Boston. She practices in Newton, MA. |
