As her patients consistently tell her (see testimonials), Lindsay’s approach to natural healing is reflected in her professional and warm bedside manner as well as her gentle and reassuring presence.

Lindsay holds a Bachelor of Science in Recreational Therapy and Psychology from the University of Arkansas, where she also served as a scholarship athlete on the Razorback Women’s Soccer Team. As a collegiate athlete, Lindsay struggled to find ways to tend to the many injuries that affected her throughout her career. She began a life-changing regimen of acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments, an experience that enhanced her life and overall health and wellbeing. It also changed the direction of her career, leading her to Tai Sophia and train to be a wellness professional and healer. On her journey, Lindsay also acquired a Master of Social Work degree, honing her therapeutic skills to help people heal in multiple ways.
Lindsay continually furthers her education in Chinese-based healing practices, wellness, nutrition, and mental health. She also studied at the National Sports Medicine Acupuncture Program, furthering her knowledge of musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries, an area of expertise that she feels her own experiences as a collegiate athlete will help with and enhance her patient care.
Personally, Lindsay is an active mother of twin baby girls, an avid outdoors woman, sportswoman, music lover, dog adorer, and world traveler. Her diverse experiences with different peoples and cultures deeply influence her personal stance toward many issues of social justice in not only the world but also her community. She believes world peace begins with and within the self, and actively participates in mindfulness training exercises and approaches her treatments with patients in the same way. Lindsay’s calming, assured presence with patients during sessions reflects a life spent meditating on her own wellness and peace with herself. She views life as a process, not a prize, and works to help all her patients see their lives as a wonderful journey.
