Linda Clark, MA, NC

Linda has a Masters in Holistic Health Education from John F. Kennedy University. She also earned her nutrition consultant certification from Bauman College. She has owned Universal Wellness Associates for four years and is currently an adjunct instructor in nutrition for John F. Kennedy University. She also teaches "Clinical Management" classes for Apex Energetics, a national homeopathic and nutraceutical supplement company.

For over six years she managed a health food store where she gained a working knowledge of herbs, homeopathy and vitamins prior to returning to school to further her nutrition education. Her own healing journey has taken her into the world of alternative health and healing practices. She is an avid student of nutrition and wellness.

Leslie Mitchell

Leslie comes from an extensive administration background in the medical and optometric fields. She has been with Universal Wellness Associates since 2005 and like many of you, came here because of her own health concerns. That led into having the exciting privilege of being part of establishing a new office and sharing in the continued growth and planning at Universal Wellness Associates, helping to educate clients and provide the most effective modalities possible, in order to assist them in reaching their health goals. To that end Leslie is currently enrolled in a Nutrition Consultant course and hopes to be certified by 2008.

Michelle Robinson

Michelle has BS in Psychology and post graduate work in education counseling. She spent 14 years working extensively in the social service field as a counselor, advocate, facilitator and trainer for children, teen-agers and families. After leaving social work, she worked as a consultant developing training materials and then created a relationship coaching and training practice. She is a licensed clinical hypnotherapist. She has also trained in various emotional release modalities that she shares during her sessions so that each person is empowered to carry over the work accomplished during the sessions into their daily lives.

Her passion for health and empowerment has come from years of her own personal health challenges and frustrations with vague physical and emotional symptoms that didn't seem to resolve nor could be diagnosed with conventional means. She knew that something was wrong and that life didn't have to be painful and dissatisfying. This deep conviction and passion set her on a personal journey to seek solutions. She found that just treating her symptoms wasn't the answer and that she had to address her "dis-ease" from a different perspective - emotional and spiritual as well as physical. Through her journey, she began to rejuvenate her health through proper nutrition, addressing emotional issues and shifting her beliefs to create a higher degree of health. As such, she brings years of professional experience and her own passion for health into her work at Universal Wellness Associates.
