About Lindsay

Hi, I’m Lindsay!

I am an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, Certified Athletic Therapist, Registered Kinesiologist, and a certified comprehensive Pilates Instructor (mat, reformer, Cadillac, chair and springboard) with over 20 years of experience in the health and wellness industry.

Wherever you are on your wellness journey, I believe in your body’s ability to heal. It’s my passion to assist and facilitate this process of self-healing through osteopathic manual therapy, therapeutic movement & exercise, so the balance of health can be restored and maintained for a lifetime.

I have a deep appreciation and understanding of the unity and interconnectivity of the body, with a particular interest in the mind-body connection, and the effects of stress on the body. With that in mind, I take a holistic approach towards your treatment to discover the underlying cause of the symptom or condition.

Each of us has had a unique journey to bring us to the point we’re at today. We’ve had to adapt to physical and emotional stress that disrupt the physiology of the body. Overtime, an area becomes overloaded, has less mobility, and gradually, we begin to lose our ability to adapt. You might see this expressed as an injury, disruptions in digestion, anxiety, headaches, or simply pain.

Throughout my years of experience, I’ve come to recognize that an individualized approach to treatment is most effective. So, just as your history is unique, your course of treatment will be unique. After all, the journey to lasting health begins with you.
