Malinda began her academic career at New York University and received her undergraduate degree in psychology.

Malinda traveled the world for a number of years, visiting shamans and traditional healers from the outer banks of Mongolia to the jungles of Peru, where she experienced profound personal healing. During a visit to South Africa, it was determined through the traditional Zulu and Bantu healers that she was being called by her ancestors to walk the path of Ngoma and become a Sangoma. She underwent 7 years of initiation and training in the United States and South Africa, during which she received her ancestral title of Gogo. As a Sangoma, she supports people in connecting with their ancestors and brings healing to ancestral lineages.
