  Linda Franklin, Founder and Director

Sam'sLinda Franklin has a natural talent for thinking outside the box. She was the first Canadian woman to own her seat on the New York Stock Exchange, which gained her acceptance into the “all-boys-club”. That approval was exactly what Linda needed to crash through the financial community's "glass ceiling". Her career accelerated and she became a managing partner in charge of arbitrage trading for a leading Wall Street investment firm. Her ability to think unconventionally, process information quickly and make informed decisions, are the qualities that dictated her success.

Linda had a dream-come-true career which spanned 25 years. However, just before her 50th birthday, she realized it was time to leave the business. This was a very tough decision, because she had been part of a wonderful organization that had given her so many opportunities to grow. But, her company was transitioning and so was Linda. She was starting to experience many unwanted changes in her body and her psyche. It was these changes that prompted her to begin an in depth exploration into the challenges of aging.

Never being satisfied with cookie cutter information, Linda began doing her own research. She did extensive study on the effects of menopause and andropause on our overall health. She delved into the many emotional components that are an integral part of the aging process. And experiencing firsthand how devastating the psychological effects of aging can be, this quest became extremely personal. Learning how to recreate your belief system when the familiar framework no longer is working, was essential to Linda. She had to understand why she could no longer rely on the core beliefs that had taken her so far.

For a nearly a decade Linda immersed herself in finding the answers. She interviewed and consulted with scores of medical and other experts. And, in the process, she literally became her own guinea pig, seeing what was beneficial and what wasn’t. She worked with physicians in varying specialties including gynecology, endocrinology, psychology, anti-aging and homeopathy.

Linda supplemented her education with intensive training in various methods of rejuvenation. She took several courses with Dr. Thierry Hertoghe of Belgium, one of Europe’s leading professional advocates of anti-aging medicine. For over a year she was mentored in aesthetic medicine at Clinic’estetica in Baja, Mexico. She observed first hand various cutting edge non-surgical techniques and treatments for facial and body rejuvenation. Her spiritual needs were met by studying philosophy with thought leaders in the field, including Neale Donald Walsh and Ester Hicks. She received a comprehensive education in nutrition and holistic practices at the Institute of Integrated Nutrition in New York where she trained for one year. During this time she also interviewed a cross section of men and women from different walks of life about their experiences with aging.

Utilizing the knowledge she had gathered, Linda created High-Yield Living™. It is a unique methodology that helps guide others entering a new chapter in their lives. High-Yield Living™ is a true triumph of the spirit and is designed to resurrect the passion and promise that defines the baby boomer generation.
