Areas of Expertise
I have always been a natural mystic, which brought me to a deep practice of Kundalini Yoga from the age of 19, creating a strong foundation that feeds me to this day. As my path evolved, it brought me to the realms of Plant Medicine, Sufism, Meditation, and Shamanic Arts.
My journey with plant medicine and ceremony began in 2008 when I sought a deeper connection with myself and the Earth. I encountered the Camino Rojo in Chile and Mexico. The community, ceremonies, and Grandfather Peyote opened the door to my heart and an unshakable connection with the Earth which I am eternally grateful for.
In 2009, I had the honour of meeting Ayahuasca and have been a devoted student ever since. I have been blessed to work with teachers in the Don Selon Tello Mestizo lineage, and the Shipibo Mahua Lineage. I have also worked with the Sacred Valley Tribe members, both in Peru and other locations. Since 2013, I have been working with Huachuma and feel incredibly grateful for the integrative and heart-opening support this medicine has brought into my life.
Through my travels in Peru and my training in the Packakuti Mesa tradition, I have cultivated a deep connection with the Sacred Valley and am honoured to be a carrier of Andean wisdom teachings. At the core of my being, I am a lover of sacred sound, and am honoured to be a song carrier of many medicine songs. I love inspiring people to discover their voices and the joy of singing.
I’m joining the Nectara team with over 14 years of experience as a student of the medicine path and Plant Medicine Counselling Support. In the last 10 years, I have supported and co-facilitated retreats with teachers and other facilitators in Canada and abroad. My areas of focus include Plant Medicine Integration, Divine Feminine Embodiment, Dieta Support, and Microdosing Support. I also have over a decade of experience nourishing people as a retreat chef when working with plant medicines, and offer guidance to people navigating restricted diets on this path. As a Registered Counsellor, I weave a therapeutic lens into my practice that is informed with the healing modalities of Somatic Therapy, Pre and Perinatal Studies, and Inquiry-Based Coaching.
I believe we all have the capacity to thrive and not just survive. My life coaching services will nurture your spirit and help you to overcome personal challenges and unlock your full potential. Through one on one on one coaching and counselling therapy, as well as group coaching, I draw on my training and knowledge of Somatic Therapy, Herbalism, Pre and Perinatal Studies, Shamanism and Eastern Spiritual Practices to support you in your healing journey.
I support people to feel empowered in their healing journey, to both heal and integrate wounds from their past that are in the way of greater ease and flow in their lives. I am passionate about supporting my clients on their path of healing generational and ancestral trauma and to rise into a place of empowerment to share their unique gifts and medicine with the world.

Testimonials
Throughout my experience of working with Lindsay, I felt deeply supported in my vulnerability, pain, and healing. Her open and loving way of holding space welcomed deep pieces to be brought to the surface for me, and allowed space for them to be seen and felt fully. For me, Lindsay was a fairy, always knowing the support that was needed for the moment. I am deeply grateful for my experience with her.

Lindsay has a special talent for supporting individuals on their healing journey. I could feel how present and dedicated she was to supporting me during our sessions. She also takes a very individualized approach, allowing the client to guide the session to some degree while she offers various tools, resources, knowledge, and insights along the way. I would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone who seeks a dedicated, warm, approachable, and empathetic therapist who strives to create the safest container possible for those she supports to be vulnerable and heal.

I loved working with Lindsay. She is empathic, caring and loving and offered a safe and welcoming space for me to go back in time and handle trauma from the past. I would highly recommend Lindsay for anyone who wishes to work on themselves.
