Her healing story: Lindsay's journey into integrative wellness began as a personal quest for wholeness, shaped by a childhood marked by trauma and the resilience that was lit within.  Lindsay experienced early on the power of the mind-body connection as someone who lives with chronic illness. The desire to be seen and supported by medical/wellness practitioners ebbed and flowed with each milestone achieved and the changing seasons of life. The same message glared in her face: "this is your job, your healing is in your hands." So despite the overwhelm, it was clear that establishing and maintaining an adaptable wellness practice was happening . Mindfulness-Based Meditation, served as a humble introduction and ultimately a catalyst for igniting additional behavior change, cuing authenticity and aligned action with each holistic wellness tool gathered along the way.  Navigating the professional helper role as a Behavior Analyst (BCBA) for in-home services and school-districts highlighted the ethical necessity of finding, curating and sustaining a holistic all-encompassing self-care practice.
