"The experience was life-changing. I came away feeling different, closer to who I am, and more connected to my identity, my body, my soul, and my purpose. I also came away with a deeper understanding of the pain I have carried for so many years and the true devastation it has caused, not only mentally and emotionally, but physically. I could feel how much my life experiences had left an impression on my body."

Lindsay is wonderful...I struggle with depression and she reminded me of my self-worth, of who I am, to think before I speak... I am still moving forward."

I cannot thank Lindsay and Dan enough for the gift they gave me: the power to see, the power to understand, and the courage to do something with it. This experience helped me reconnect with myself, my children, my ancestors, and the life I am trying to build. "

That has also affected the way I show up for my children. I want to parent differently than what I was taught and what I grew up with, but it is hard to break cycles when you do not always know another way. Lindsay gave me tools I could bring home and use with my kids, and I have started implementing them in our daily life. I feel closer to my children because of it. I feel more present with them, more intentional, and more aware of the kind of love, safety, and connection I want to give them.
Can’t believe it’s been a month since my retreat with you and what a month it has been. I’ve noticed little things that have made me go “oh wow”. A word I have used several times is “calm”. I just feel so much calmer and not the urgency I was feeling... I feel less hurried and less stressed.
I just feel happier.
Thank you Lindsay for helping me. I truly believe that with doing the EMDR therapy and then topping it off with your amazing body therapies, my life has been transformed.

After 25 years working as a social worker in a crisis driven practice, I was burned-out at work. Add
marriage and life challenges to the mix and I was miserable I knew I needed help but didn’t know where
to turn or what to do.
I heard Lindsay speak at a conference and I thought this could be the answer. I was fortunate to be given
the opportunity for a weekend retreat in McCall with Lindsay.
The weekend retreat was amazing. Lindsay welcomed me and we immediately went to work. No
pressure and all at my own comfortable pace. Lindsay was very intuitive and used her skill and
experience to give me what I needed and what would serve me the best. She taught me tools that I can
use every day, tools I brought home with me. I left my weekend with Lindsay feeling lighter and more at
peace with myself and the world around me. Lindsay provided a deeply personalized experience, unlike
anything I have ever experienced before.
There is a real connection between mind and body. B

One of the most powerful parts of the retreat was recognizing how disconnected I had become from myself, and then feeling that connection begin to return. I am Native American and Shoshone-Paiute, and that part of who I am became especially meaningful during this experience. A lot of my family is gone now, and I have been thinking more deeply about what it means to carry their stories, their strength, and their presence forward. In our culture, stories matter. Our connection to past generations matters. So does our responsibility to future generations. This retreat helped me feel that in a way I had not fully felt before. I felt closer to my grandmother, my ancestors, nature, and the earth. I also felt reminded that healing is not just personal. It is connected to lineage, family, culture, and the people who come after us.

Before this retreat, I had never done anything like it. I was hesitant at first and honestly nervous because I did not know what to expect. I was stepping into something completely unfamiliar, staying overnight in someone else’s home, being cared for, and allowing myself to receive help in a way I had never really experienced before. I did not realize how unfamiliar it would feel to be welcomed and treated with such gentleness. But Lindsay and Dan made me feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Lindsay created a space where I felt safe enough to soften, open up, and begin seeing parts of myself that I had not fully understood before.
