I’m Dr Linda Kantor, a psychologist, mindfulness trainer, hypnotherapist, and yoga teacher-and the founder of Be Awake.
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel overwhelmed, stressed, and constantly on the go. We’re pulled in countless directions, managing the pressures of work, family, and an ever-changing landscape. With the constant demands of work, relationships, and responsibilities, it’s easy to feel scattered, overwhelmed, and disconnected. In a world that often measures our worth by how much we achieve, we forget what it means to simply be. We become experts at preparing to live – always striving, always chasing – rarely pausing to recognise that we are already here, already alive, in this very moment.
It’s easy to lose sight of what grounds us, what nourishes us, and what truly matters.
But what if there was another way?
What if it were possible to stay grounded and present, even in the midst of chaos? To develop habits that nourish the mind and restore balance? What if you could pursue your goals with curiosity and ease, meet challenges with wisdom and courage, and lead from a place of compassion – both for yourself and those around you? What if stressful environments could be transformed into spaces of connection, creativity, and care?
These are the questions that have guided my work. Drawing from a rich blend of therapeutic approaches—including schema therapy, somatic experiencing, hypnotherapy, and depth psychology – I offer an integrated path toward inner stability and transformation. My approach is grounded in the belief that profound change begins when we slow down, turn inward, and truly listen.
Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support people as they navigate life’s ever – changing landscape—helping them rediscover clarity, calm, and a deeper connection to themselves.
Peace, clarity, and happiness are not things to be earned or chased – they are already within us. Real transformation arises not from struggle, but from presence. When we move with life instead of against it, we find ourselves aligned with something deeper: a quiet wisdom, a steady strength, a renewed sense of possibility.
My passion is to walk beside those on this path of presence, peace, and compassion—helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and navigate life with greater ease, clarity, and heart.

What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness, the capacity to pay attention in the present moment on purpose with care & heartfulness, is the remedy for the automatic ways of being that disconnect us from what is truly important. Mindfulness training cultivates equanimity & well-being. If we are awake to the moment, we can touch the happiness & peace that is available to us all the time, & we can navigate the waves of life with more skill & balance.
Mindful Coaching & Psychotherapy
One-On-One Sessions provide a space for clients to address current issues in their lives, combining practices of psychotherapy and mindfulness in a way and a pace that can work for you.
Corporate Interventions
Mindfulness is the missing component in organizational development. In this day and age, we have become accustomed to filling the in-boxes and our minds with information.
Events and Workshops
Linda runs Mindfulness-Based Interventions both online and in small groups for individuals with stress related problems, chronic conditions or who simply want to learn how to be more mindful in daily life.
“We cannot stop the waves of our lives, but we can learn to ride them with more grace, peacefulness and wisdom.”
