Linda Baird
  Boulder, CO

Focus: Women, Corporate Management Structures

Background: I am a body-centerd psychotherapist with offices in Denver and Boulder. I work with depression, anxiety, shame, childhood trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues including domestic violence. I am also educated as a biochemist and worked as a research scientist for 16 years where I studied brain chemistry related to emotional, psychological, and physiological difficulties.

I have trained at the Institute for Emotional-Kinesthetic Psychotherapy in Boston, MA and the Hakomi Somatics Institute in Boulder, CO. I am also a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy practitioner. I am a teaching assistant with the Hakomi Institute and have assisted in the Somatic Psychology graduate program at Naropa University. I am currently in the Licensed Professional Counselor graduate program at Regis University. I facilitate groups and counsel survivors of domestic abuse at Boulder County Safehouse as part of my degree program. Focus: Women and Power, and Corporate Management. As I have worked with issues of domestic violence at Boulder County Safehouse, I am in awe as I watch women blossom and grow, especially in group work. I offer workshops, and on-going groups in the Denver area that will address issues of women and empowerment based on “The Right Use of Power”. Having worked in the industrial/corporate environment for 16 years, I have experienced both gross misuse as well as right use of power in management, although sadly not enough of the latter. I am inspired to bring this work into the corporate management structure with the vision of creating an entirely new, and hopeful, paradigm.

Kathy has been drawn to the study and exploration of ethics and right relationship from the very first day she entered massage therapy school. Somehow knowing that the presence of the therapist, and who we bring to the caring situation have the greatest impact on the therapeutic relationship. Through her own journey of inner-exploration and continued personal growth her commitment and dedication to support others on their journey is now her passion! She strives to teach what she lives; and lives what she teaches.

Kathy believes the study and exploration of ethics as Right Use of Power can be dynamic, juicy, alive and transforming. She gently invites each student to look at the elements of healing that go beyond technique, along with exploring one’s own relationship with power. Her teaching offers navigational tools for dealing with the deep and often confusing interaction between client and caregiver.
