About Lindsay

From an early age I always had a sense there was more to life than met the eye. As an only child I had a rich, imaginary life, full of friends and foe, and worlds within worlds to explore. 

I loved animals and nature and being outdoors on horseback in the wild woodlands at the edge of my urban home. I knew then there was a greater adventure awaiting me, a mission somewhere, a quest.

When I graduated with a degree in modern languages Italian and French, I thought journalism was my calling, to travel and to tell the truth. I wrote and broadcast for the BBC, among others, from Spain and Slovenia, to St Petersburg and Prague. 

Fascinating years they were the early nineties and such a privilege to witness and document the collapse of communism, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the emergence of the newly fledged democratic states.

Becoming a wife and a mother of three children brought my focus inwards to the home and I got lost on that journey. I lost my mother and grandmother in quick succession, I found myself in a dark wood, deeply unhappy and desperately alone.

My marriage crumbled and I set out on my spiritual quest. I found myself at the feet of Tibetan Lamas and Buddhist monks, a Native American Blackfoot, a Slovakian shaman, mediums, Reiki Masters, Tai Chi and yoga teachers, Tarot readers and psychotherapists, seeking on some level what I knew I already knew...

...that death is never the end, that our loved ones live on in another dimension, and that we have the harder task of finding the courage to pick ourselves up and carry on and to continue to learn and to grow.

"What you seek is seeking you" - Rumi

It’s now more than 20 years since I trained as a Reiki Master/Teacher and began my journey with mediumship. Along the way I also trained as a transpersonal psychotherapist and clinical supervisor.

I have extensive one-to-one and group work with clients presenting with trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD and dissociative disorders, and whilst I am no-longer accepting new clients, I owe so much to this solid, grounded psychological work.

‘The wound is the place the light enters,’ wrote the Sufi poet Rumi.

My archetypal journey is that of the Wounded Healer, Chiron, in Greek mythology, who used his injury from Hercules’ poisoned arrow as a catalyst for his own healing journey from which came the wisdom, compassion and empathy to help others.

I work from lived experience and extensive professional training.
