Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Linda Salvin.
Hi Dr. Salvin, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
I am a metaphysical clinician. I am a psychic, healer, and medium with an MPH in Public Health Epidemiology (big word today!) and a Ph.D. in Metaphysics. I started out in the public health field but after I survived a Boeing 737 commercial plane crash on February 17, 1981, at which time I had my first of three near-death experiences, I became a psychic. I ran for 12 years, denying the gift before I embraced it. During that time, my car was hit by a fire truck in 1982, at which time I had another out-of-body experience, elevating me to yet a higher level of psychic ability then in 1984, I totaled a car and had the white light experience. I was driving in Palms on a rainy night, totaled my car in an accident, and a white light literally went from the top of my head, through the ceiling of the car to the heavens and a voice said, “You can come with us now or stay and do…” and I was given a message. When the paramedics got me out of my car, I started yelling, “They want me off the planet, they want me off the planet!” I had no idea what was going on for those years and no one could help me understand. This was pre-internet. The net started for the average person in 1996… today, psychic, healing, near-death, out-of-body experiences and spiritual experiences are common subjects people search out and discuss more freely now.
Once I accepted the gift, I was working at Psychic Friends Network, with Dionne Warwick in 1992, and in 1994, I was chosen out of several psychics to do the nighttime drive on Los Angeles’ KBIG 104 FM. I was there for about 6 months when the creative director suggested I learn to host my own show. He taught me what to do and I spent the next 18 years on AM/FM/Cable radio and was ultimately in over 350 markets; I have been on TV talk shows, written up in books, interviewed on several radio shows, and appeared in a few movies. In 2005, I decided to return to school to earn my Ph.D. in Metaphysics to combine my scientific background with the spiritual ‘woo-woo’ to qualify and quantify the experiences, knowledge, and diagnostics I have to help people spiritually.
I became a psychic from the plane crash, a healer in 1991 after emergency surgery, and a medium after the removal of 100 tumors from hips and thighs. Each trauma elevated me. While on the air in 1999, I was trained in candle magic; I learned to further assist people spiritually and to help them get involved in their own alchemy. From there, I produced a TV Infomercial on my candle line, Wicks of Wisdom. I hired Kris Jenner as my show host; we filmed the show in 2006 and aired in 2008-09.
I recently built my own radio streaming system where I replay shows from the past and now have begun podcasting and YouTube to be out there like everyone. I avoided it for 13 years but succumbed to the digital world of broadcasting. It is quite a challenge after being on broadcast radio for so many years. My last FM show was on our local KLSX 97.1 FM but ended when talk radio went off the air in 2009.
I retired from my professional mediumship in 2018 after 22 years of communicating with the other side; I can still do it but I have moved further away from the paranormal and geared my career more clinical with a passion for integrative health and medicine. I am involved with assisting my clients with DNA nutrition and a few other cutting-edge products to improve health and well-being.
Preventative medicine was my passion in graduate school at the University of Michigan from 1975-77 and after all the changes, spiritual experiences, gifts to help people, and evolving with my product line, I have developed a name for myself against all odds. I had no clue what to do after the plane crash. I struggled for many years before it became clear to me what my purpose was to be. Here I am, 41 years later as a recognized psychic, healer, medium, and metaphysician, helping people open spiritually and direct them on their journey, a veteran radio talk show host, published many articles, and have a book coming out next year. I continue to find fulfillment in the work I do, have testimonials that still astound me, and am grateful to have literally been chosen by the other side, to help the people of the planet grow.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been a smooth road at all. Is anyone’s road really smooth? We always assume the other person has it easier or is lucky to get what they have or achieve what they do. It is work, dedication, successes and failures, hopes and broken dreams with many disappointments. Highs and lows, promises from people that never materialized and backstabbing, misunderstanding of my gifts, attitude, and passion. I am not a fairy-tale reader; many people mistake my passion and direct delivery as being nasty, bitchy, and mean when really, I’m just conveying the messages from their spirit in a manner to drive home a point.
Many people are blocked spiritually and expect much more than they get at a certain moment. I have been berated and a year or two later, people return, apologize, tell me I was correct, they respect me or value my work. Financially, I have produced my own radio shows, booked the appointments, and done the readings myself these past few years; I did have a staff of 3-5 people at one point when at the height of my radio days. One of the biggest challenges I had on the air was to convince people that true psychic abilities do in fact exist. I worked endlessly to dispel the myths and distinguish my gift from the wanna-bees and charlatans. Gratefully, I have been compared to Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, and Dr. Carl Jung, one of the metaphysical pioneers.
I often need to apologize as I am not one to coddle and nurture and hold hands at all times; each client is different, each soul has its own path and everyone has their own challenges; we are very much alike just dealing with situations with different views. My job is to shine the light on a path and help people watch for the boulders and avoid them. I love helping people understand true love, soulmates, twin souls, direction, career options, and successful ventures. I have fun with most people, using my humor and helping them lighten up. The challenge is the challenge dealing with so many varied individuals. I remember when one of my clients I helped through a difficult divorce and identified the new man she did marry, said to me, “You help strangers!” And, I do.
I don’t judge; we are all human; I’ve read people from the White House to the homeless. I feel many have tried to sabotage my efforts by leading me right to the next level of success or opportunity, only to close the door or disappear. I just keep doing what I do best, I have an amazing production team with support beyond belief and work with those who seek my services, heard me on a show, on YouTube, or came to me from referral. Work is work and we all have to make a living. Finding fulfillment is the key, regardless of the delays and pitfalls. I never give up. I keep the faith I am on the right path.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Kayla Productions, Inc.?
I specialize in personal readings, healings, and private sessions, offering candle magic options to enhance career, finances, legal health, luck, and love problems. I am psychic but draw from my preventative medicine education. I want people to know I am honest, work for the best of their highest good, that my candle magic line, Wicks of Wisdom is a combination of Santeria and Kabbalah, having been trained in both and that if people work with me, they will probably achieve their results and goals. I’m most proud of my brand of broadcasting, metaphysics, and candle line all in one.
I specialize in helping people grow, I work with a few doctors who refer their patients to me for more in-depth healing on a deeper level which I specialize in, and I offer private sessions by appointment only. I have lectured, taught seminars, and loved group events. In my earlier days before all this came together, I was performing my folk music around town and spent years on and off the comedy circuit. I understand the artist as well as the professional.
I often share my own experience to help someone understand they are not alone, different, or crazy in experiencing spiritual awakenings or activities.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Over the next few years, I hope to grow my candle line to a certain level, license my name and let someone else take over. I have more I’d like to do and pass the baton to someone who is spiritually inclined but business oriented with the vision I have and created to help people. I have removed the occult and made my line more mainstream. I would love to take my gifts to television with my experience of 20 years on radio, now online, and my ability to drive home the spiritual movement in an intellectual yet entertaining manner. I would like to see my radio show which began in 1994, come alive to reach more people.
Today’s market and the new generation are very open to spirituality, psychics, and metaphysics, just as they were 30 years ago only now, as I mentioned, the field is more accepted by mainstream personalities. Everyone is curious and many are skeptical. When I meet a skeptic I ask why if they have yet to experience the gifts. Spiritual and healing arts are here to stay. People want fulfillment, balance, and harmony while struggling with the material world which often leaves the person empty. Everyone is searching. My job is to help them connect, perhaps release addictions and fill up a spiritual, not religious, understanding.
