Lynda romoff's bio

Lynda is a Certified Advanced Biofield Tuning Practitioner, Intuitive, Usui Reiki Facilitator, and Certified Sound Healer. She uses high-quality tuning forks to deliver therapeutic sound vibrations within the human biofield, promoting health and wellness. 

Lynda grew up on a beautiful coffee farm in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i, where she developed a deep spiritual connection with her environment, ancestors, and Hula. Her family, rich in Kahuna healer traditions, often kept these practices silent due to shame and fear, discouraging her from exploring her intuition and inner awareness. 

In her early adulthood, Lynda moved to Southern California with her husband and raised two wonderful daughters, who are now young adults. After two decades in corporate finance, she decided to reconnect with her ancestral gifts and study energy healing in 2017, diving into the growing field of Biofield Science. As a practitioner, she enjoys helping others reconnect with themselves, find emotional relief, achieve serenity and relaxation, gain clarity, balance their bodies, and experience overall happiness.

My first class was with Amy who was very knowledgeable and encouraging.  She was  very watchful and attentive from start to finish. She gave a nice combination of encouragement and education with positive corrections tempered with sprinklings of humor. This is a place I look forward to coming to and learning along the way. Five star to be sure.

My instructor was Amy, and she was so friendly and did not make me feel uncomfortable for being a newbie. I also love that it is a class of 4 max. To my luck, there was only one other girl besides me. I had so much fun learning the Pilates techniques, and could feel lot of engagements on my core, as well as other body parts. I arrived early, and Amy also took the time to stretch with me beforehand, which was really nice.
