I am a lymphedema therapist, massage therapist, clinical aromatherapist, and Integrative Health Coach and owner and founder of Beauty Kliniek Aromatherapy Day Spa & Wellness Center and Lymphatic Therapy services. I empower my clients to live a life full of vitality and health. I began my journey in South Africa where I graduated as a Beauty Therapist as an Internationally trained CIDESCO Beauty Therapist and Esthetician and helped clients with skincare, massage and health, I moved to San Diego, California in 1980 with my husband and two young children.

In 1983 as a new immigrant, I opened a small boutique salon, Beauty Kliniek in 1983 and rapidly built up my clients. At that time, nobody was aware of the benefits of facials, skincare or massage. I expanded and added more services. I offered the first-day package in San Diego. We then expanded to become a Day Spa and soon added health and wellness services to become a Wellness Center.

I trained in England and France and also the USA and graduated as a Clinical Aromatherapist. I lecture and teach nationally and Internationally at many Lymphedema, Fat disorder, Spa, and health conferences, and also teach an Aromatherapy certification program.

My purpose is to empower each and every client to learn how to live a life full of vitality and to achieve optimum health from the inside out. I achieve this through the use of aromatherapy, manual lymph drainage, nutrition, mind-body therapies, and health and lifestyle counseling.

Do you ever feel like you’re living the same day over and over again?

Do you struggle to get things done when you are in a cycle of endless tasks?

It can be difficult to manage all your responsibilities when you have so many plates in your hands that are demanding your time and energy.

Pushing yourself to achieve everything can have a negative effect on your work and personal life.

SAN DIEGO — Some people are just born with a smile on their face and a positive outlook on life. Linda-Anne Kahn is one of those people. From the time she was a young woman, she has taken pleasure in bringing beauty and healing into other’s lives.

An immigrant success story, Kahn was born in South Africa and arrived in San Diego in 1980 with her husband and two young children. Her husband had been a pharmacist in South Africa and she worked with him in their pharmacy as a beauty therapist giving facials and massages.

However, neither one was happy with the political situation in South Africa and Apartheid. They wanted a better life for their children, so like many immigrants, they sold their business, packed up, and arrived in San Diego to start a new life from scratch.

They lived In the UTC area among many of their compatriots and attended Congregation Beth El- which was in Clairemont before it moved to La Jolla- at the time when Rabbi Wayne Dosick was the spiritual leader. Her husband opened up a sheep skin seat cover business and her children attended San Diego Jewish Academy. Kahn opened up a very small beauty salon called, Beauty Kliniek.

For some people, Tikkun Olam is just an expression. Other folks embody it into their everyday lives. Linda-Anne Kahn is one of those people.From the time she was a young woman, she has made a point of giving back. For example, right now, she is part of a group called the United Aromatherapy Effort, a group that hopes to work and coordinate with firefighters and first responders in California providing aromatherapy help.

Kahn is spearheading a team that will be making aromatherapy personal inhalers and sprays for the first responders and firefighters who have congestion due to smoke inhalation. They will also be making inhalers for stress and anxiety for those who have lost their homes or have been evacuated.

Linda Anne Kahn was interviewed on Marvy Moms, Marvelous Moms, Marvelous Life!

Linda Anne Kahn is the owner at Beauty Kliniek Aromatherapy Day Spa & Wellness Center located in San Diego, California. Linda Ann was my table-mate at the first half of the Aromatic Medicine class I took with Mark Webb in Atlanta. She has a vast amount of knowledge about aromatherapy and is an expert in lymphedema treatment using massage and essential oils. She is scheduled to speak on the topic of Lyme disease at the upcoming AIA (Association of International Aromatherapists) conference in August 2017. She also gives workshops on color healing and chakras. Linda Anne is a wife of 47 years, a proud grandmother of two girls, a mom and a daughter.
