Learn more about me

My practice name is inspired by the Yoga Sutra. The literal meaning of sutra is “sew”.

The sutra is the thread that holds things together; a collection of ideas seen as a whole. It’s holistic focus brings completeness to each individual as they find their connectivity to the whole. No one element in the healing process is elevated over another.

Because everything is connected.

I work with those who are looking to deepen their process on their healing journey and cultivate their creative instincts and their spiritual connection.

My approach creates a container for you to reclaim your connection with your body, mind and soul through energy healing, breathwork, guided meditation, somatic trauma healing exercises, embodiment and creative practices, bodywork and ritual.

 

This work is for anyone who is waking up to their next level of soul awareness because they know it’s time to call in a new paradigm for themselves and the world around them.

I also work with youth who are sensitive to energy and need support with self-awareness and acceptance of creative and spiritual gifts that make them unique.

At the root of my work is a deep respect for and background in trauma healing, somatic awareness, energy healing, movement and creative practices. I also work with a deep connection to the elements and Gaia and weave in an awareness of the relationship between the body, the Earth world and the larger mosaic of cosmic consciousness. All of this is woven into my sessions and classes.

We’ve too often pathologized the nature of our intuitive and creative sides because underlying trauma and ancestral wounds have kept us from learning how to authentically anchor into our core essence.

If you’ve done the work: trauma healing, mental health protocols or even spiritual ‘activations’ and you’re still spinning my approach helps you find what has remained elusive but so deeply a part of you. Together we bring home more of your soul so you can expand into what your called towards.

I believe the soul communicates through the body. When life’s experiences take us out of balance we can lose our alignment with our core essence.

In my practice I look at all aspects of self as a whole system in order to find deeper alignment.

I believe our bodies contain an energetic ‘map’ with a key that is unique to each of us.

I assist you in tuning into and tending to the histories you’re holding in your body, mind and soul.

The healing modalities and creatives practices I work with assist you to release blocks both physically and emotionally in order to heal and create a more grounded environment to access higher levels of awareness and life force. This process of building connection with the terrain of all that is you ultimately leads one to find more peace, stability and connection.

Entering into a journey of healing and ‘becoming' allows you to observe forgotten histories and reclaim a lost intimacy with yourself. The study of epigenetics understands that we hold the information of many generations of DNA before us in our body. This stored information in our bodies contains: Ancestral codes. Beliefs. Pain patterns. Trauma. Any of which can become a limitation or a possibility.

We each carry ancient wisdom. We each carry medicine.

It’s a matter of peeling back the layers of symptoms and conditioned identities to find our inherent coherence and our unique essence.

  • Testimonials

    “I have been a student/practitioner of the holistic arts for 20 years. I’ve gone to Lindsay not only for Reiki healing but also for Reiki training. Lindsay is the first person that I truly connected with as a healer and teacher. Her way with words and the energy she possesses is interdimensional and magical. She has a gift that I continue to see her nurture as a healer, educator, and artist (so inspiring!). Lindsay’s empathic, ancient and relevant approach has broken through areas in my soul that I have been working at for years. Highly recommended both as a healer and teacher. I am so blessed that our paths have crossed.”

    “Lindsay is an amazing healer and teacher. She is able to explain and teach Reiki in a way that makes me so appreciative to be involved with Reiki and do the work that I do. I have never heard energy work explained so eloquently! Lindsay has taught me Reiki levels I, II and III and I am so happy I found her as a teacher and a healer. Her sessions, including breath work, are catered to the client and can be intense, but so so rewarding afterwards.”

    “My session with Lindsay was calming and transformational. I went through many levels of being and consciousness from dream-like and meditative to vision, clarity and back again. Old memories surfaced that I hadn’t contacted for a long time. Some were painful, but she helped me with patience and grace to work through them. I am currently in treatment for cancer following a devastating heartbreak and ending of a long marriage. The session allowed me to connect to emotional fears I’m experiencing with this illness – locating them in my body and allowing them to settle and dissipate. She gave me practical tools for taking our work together further. I am grateful and wiser as an outcome.”

    “I was hoping to move some energy around a new career direction and make healthier choices in relationships. Like anything, it’s been a process. But reflecting on my intentions a few months later, I’ve been able to leave a toxic work environment, form a clearer sense of where my next steps are in relation to income/work and creativity, and I’m having a great time dating a wonderful person. I think the remote session acted as an energetic jumpstart in making these much needed changes.”
