Lindsay's Story
Growing up in the Bay of Plenty allowed her to spend free time swimming in rivers, playing in native bush and with family camping. It cultivated a love of being in nature and with family as a ‘resource for health’. In later years travelling for 8 months in South East Asia, living with few material possessions and eating a simple diet enlightened her to life’s greatest treasure ‘health’.
A practice of Yoga, Chi Kung and Meditation, a love of Music, Reading and Cooking (gathered from her Mum, Granny and Grandma), a special interest in ‘gut health’ (focusing on fermented and whole foods) all have bolstered her ‘resources for health’.
Lindsay and her partner of 30 years have three children and a granddaughter.
Studies and skills have been driven by an interest with the interplay between mental, emotional and physical health. Lindsay found it extremely rewarding assisting children with special needs in particular those on the Autism Spectrum.
Lindsay was first offered BCST during a time of severe illness, and it complimented the mainstream care she was receiving. A series of sessions were instrumental in acknowledging PTSD, resetting a hypersensitive nervous system (reducing stress/anxiety), relieving chronic back pain, releasing brain fog giving clarity and renewed vitality. It set her on a new journey to up skill her knowledge by studying Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
