Kindled Spirit was founded on the vision to kindle people’s spirit, awaken their soul to their purpose, and inspiring them to take responsibility of their life’s healing and happiness.

Esther-Maria Lindner has been interested in spirit realm, in the arts of healing and clairvoyance her whole life.  She has been fortunate enough to have experienced a wonderful journey so far, a journey that has seen her grow into a dedicated, humanitarian, compassionate and passionate healer, massage therapist and Reiki Jin Kei Do Master / Teacher. From a young age she had awake dreams, conscious dreams, premonitions and a very strong intuition, however this was not encouraged and consequently she hid it from people for many years. Just as she turned 16 her parents allowed her to take part in her first energy healing workshop, where she was attuned to Ashtar’s Licht.  It was a powerful experience for Esther-Maria. An experience that felt very natural, as if remembering a skill she always had - like riding a bike. In 2001 Esther-Maria Lindner landed on Australian soil and the next 3.5 years she used to rekindle her natural gifts.  Australia gave her the opportunity to try many new modalities including Isis Meditation, Pellowah, Animal Telepathic Communication, Celtic Shamanism, Psychic Workshops, etc. However the one modality that truly stayed with with her and became the foundation of her own self-mastery, was Reiki Jin Kei Do – Buddho EnerSense. In 2004 Esther-Maria left Australia and made her way to Cusco Peru, where she was fortunate enough to meet a Quechua Shaman who initiated her over a 4 months period in Andean ceremony. After leaving Cusco to be with her family in Germany again Esther-Maria Lindner took an opportunity to work in London for the following 12 months. It wasn't until 2006 that Esther-Maria Lindner finally returned to her chosen home Australia, where she struggled to find and employment that would secure her visa. Only in the last 2 months before her visa expired did her determination and commitment to her path pay off, and a Sydney Search Engine Marketing firm gave her the opportunity of a managerial position and the Australian visa. In the same year Esther-Maria committed herself to her Reiki Mastery - a commitment journey that was fulfilled in May 2009. 2006 was also the year that Esther-Maria Lindner met Christine Gregg.  An elder who, together with Ann Smith in Brisbane, has become one of the most important and influential teachers in her life.  Christine runs traditional sweat lodge ceremony based on Lakota traditions. Over the years she shared with Esther, and continues to do so, many profound teachings and wisdom. 2009 marked a year of great change and opportunity.  Esther-Maria Lindner finally became a Reiki Jin Kei Do Master and received the long awaited permanent residency. This enabled her to officially set up Kindled Spirit.  A business with the vision to kindle people’s spirit, awaken their soul to their purpose, and inspiring them to take responsibility for their life’s healing and happiness. Kindled Spirit is a vessel through which Esther helps bring greater health and inner peace to her clients and the community. The many years of study, practice, and self-mastery/healing have led Esther-Maria to another modality called the Arvigo Technique of Mayan Abdominal Therapy to assist her in her own healing of reproductive and digestive conditions.  Driven by the success of treatment she experienced herself and her passion for supporting women, she has become a professional therapist in the Arvigo Technique herself in January 2011. Her dedication to continued learning and expansion of knowledge to treat her clients on a multidimensional level, Esther has graduated as a Massage Therapist in September 2011 and as birth doula in December 2011.
