Meet Lindsay

I believe that health and wellbeing are complex. Personal and collective stress, self-worth and shame, systems of oppression, capitalism, mental and physical health, and generational and ancestral trauma impact us deeply as humans and can have profound impact on our quality of life. 

THE WHY

Connect with your body

Become aware of the barriers that may stand in your way

Access courage and agency

Shed old ways of being that no longer serve you 

If you are someone who struggles with chronic stress, difficulties with health or chronic pain, or has complex and/or medical trauma, working with me can help you to… 

I’ve been a nurse since 2009, most notably working in cardiothoracic intensive care and in professional practice, tending to nurse burnout and compassion fatigue. After realizing my own burnout multiple times, I quit hospital nursing in favor of starting my own practice now focused on the intersection where physical health and the nervous system meet. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work with the nervous system through the body to help clients connect to safety and their life force. I am also a Kathy Kain (Link “Kathy Kain”: https://somaticpractice.net) somatic touch practitioner, supporting nervous system regulation and healing through safe, boundaried touch. 

The HISTORY

I am a nurse, a mother, and a partner. I am someone who experiences stress, is impacted by the cruelties of the world, and has wounds that have impacted my whole being health, vitality, and quality of life. I do my own work with my traumatic themes, conditioning, and fears I’ve collected in my decades as a human. Somatic experiencing has changed my life personally and so this work IS personal for me. 

The REAL STORY

I practice from a whole-being approach, which includes the experiences and sensations that you have in your body. We are so often taught to ignore our bodies, that we may not be able to understand or interpret what they are trying to tell us or we might just now be realizing that we have a one.

Somatic experiencing gets us in touch with our entire human experience, allowing us to complete stress responses, notice and enjoy feelings of safety, and grow a greater capacity to feel.  

I and LGBTQIA+-affirming and work well with those who have chronic health conditions or pain, medical traumas, or health care workers experiencing chronic stress, moral injury, burnout, or compassion fatigue (take your pick).  

If you are a somatic experiencing student, I am approved for sessions for credit- please see services link for details.
