About Linda Vermeulen

Linda Vermeulen is a licensed therapist with over thirty years of experience teaching, counseling, and helping people navigate change.

She developed the Pull Up a Chair curriculum after witnessing firsthand how many capable, intelligent adults feel left behind by technology — not because they can't learn, but because no one has shown them in a way that respects who they are.

Her workshops are warm, unhurried, and built around the belief that confidence comes before capability. She has taught her six-session AI curriculum to senior adults at a leading entertainment industry organization, and she brings the same care and presence to every group she works with.

A note from Linda

“AI is a powerful tool — but never use it alone for medical decisions, financial advice, or mental health support. Those deserve a real professional.”

— Linda Vermeulen, Pull Up a Chair

We teach confidence first and AI second.

Technology changes. People stay the same — and people deserve to feel confident.
