 LINDA BRADY

‘Linda Brady is the President of The International Center For Creative Choices, holistic teacher and Karmic Astrologer. Our primary mission is to educate our visitors in the philosophy so vital in understanding and living in the Age of Aquarius. The symbol that represents Aquarius is the triangle of Mind, Body, and Spirit. At Creative Choices we present this as Soul/Personality Integration. We use astrology as our language that supports that philosophy. Astrological charts have the information necessary to understanding our personality and soul direction. This is our work. We believe that our soul creates all of our life experiences so that we may learn and grow. Because of this we do not predict the future, we create it!”

Testimonial:

Linda's astrological work is absolutely groundbreaking.  After studying for more than 30 years, I had still never had anyone say, "Oh -- THIS is the way you get actual information out of the chart....".  I was so unconscious when I first found Linda....I truly don't think I would ever have awakened to the level of awareness I live in now if I had not studied with her and had the benefit of her insight and understanding on the symbolism of the events of my life.  Her emphasis on astrology as a tool is a core piece, and her explanation that until you have an actual individual in your chair who can tell you what they have and have not done with their potentials is one of the most life-changing perspectives anywhere.  It changed the way I did everything, and it continues to change everything for the people I work with as clients and students.  That is the intellectual side of the equation.  The other piece that is uniquely hers is simply who she is and her energy in connection to her Soul.  I have come to understand that the minute I am in contact with her, even just by phone, I get plugged in to an energy source that immediately upgrades the operation of my own system and sets things into intense motion with the issues facing me, as if I have suddenly switched from 110 to 220.  I cannot express the depth of my gratitude for all she has done so far and what she will continue to do to change all of our lives, individually and collectively.  Lita Miller, Astrologer

I wanted someone I trusted, someone who would not use a "cookie-cutter" approach to my life, but would honor my soul mission and help me stay on track with my journey.

Linda is a caring coach, who has helped me stay on my soul path, to find my own answers and to celebrate my journey. Deb Harris: Facilitative Coach, President of TeamWorx, LLC.

 Michael Brady

Michael  is the co-founder and Vice President of the International Center for Creative Choices, Inc. Michael has a B.S. in Psychology from Towson State University and an M.A. in Clinical/Developmental Psychology from Anitoch University.  For twelve years Michael worked in the field of psychiatry at various hospitals and private practices in the Baltimore area. He was a School Psychologist for three years. In 1979 he met Linda and became a holistic practitioner.  Michael specializes in helping people understand the various aspects of their  own personal symbolic language including: dream interpretation, past lives, unconscious motivations and soul purpose, \

He assists clients in clearly connecting with their emotions through hypnosis, including past life regression and dream interpretation. All of these techniques are utilized in conjunction with Karmic Astrology, the individual birth chart, and a process known as Soul-Personality Integration.

His love of hypnosis began when he was 14 years old. His background in psychotherapy and karmic astrology make him an excellent life coach in soul/personality integration, hypnosis and past life regression. He has over 30 years’ experience as a counselor, mentor, teacher and guide.  Michael specializes in helping people understand the various aspects of their own personal symbolic language including past life memories, unconscious patterns and motivations as well as soul purpose.  His understanding of the client’s astrological chart is a key tool in all of his work.

Empathetic hypnosis, a system developed by Michael Brady, helps his clients face and transform deep, unconscious patterns that challenge them. 

As a result he has achieved an extraordinary ability to intuit his client’s thoughts and feelings.  Making this connection to another person allows him to choose the exact words during trance to bridge directly to their unconscious mind. Using a hypnotic voice that has been honed over 40 years he is able to coax optimal harmony and cooperation between his client’s conscious and unconscious mind.  It is this cooperation between both parts of the mind that catalyzes genuine change.

I have worked with Linda and Michael Brady for over two years and have changed in so many ways for the better.  Still, life throws me for a loop sometimes, and I recently needed a "tune up."  I did a half-day intensive retreat and spent most of my time with Michael.  I thought I was going to do a past-life regression to get to the bottom of my current problem, although I also thought that I've done enough of those by now to understand my core beliefs.  Michael knew this intuitively, and we instead spent our time having a very long talk.  Listening to him almost put me in a trance.  I wanted to record or take notes on everything he was saying because it was so beneficial and I did not want to forget a word, but I did not.  He assured me it was being absorbed by my unconscious mind and I feel that he is right.  By the end of our talk, I felt like a transformed person.  I got exactly what I wanted out of my day, and heard everything that I needed to hear.  The lessons are still with me.  Thank you both, once again, for helping me stay so centered.
