Lindsay McKinnon is on a mission to help others heal and live a rejuvenated life with joy.
In 2016, I lost my home, all of my possessions and my two beloved children, Patrick and Logan, in a traumatic house fire. I chose to feel the grief, heal trauma, rebuild my life and realign my purpose by doing what I knew to do – I turned towards my body’s innate wisdom. Later, I leveraged my direct trauma experience and studied the neuroscience of somatics with additional trainings and became a certified coach. I am on a mission to help others heal and live a rejuvenated life with joy.
Working with individuals and groups, I help others harness their unique and deeply spiritual mind-body connection. I support my client’s journey by equipping and empowering them with a wide range of effective tools for health and wellness. Folding my 20+ years of experience as a board-certified massage therapist and childbirth doula to help clients restore and grow their capacity for resiliency, navigating pain points with grace, reduce stress, and create boundaries and practices that heal and are even fun! When met with open compassion and willingness to own your story, your greatest obstacle can become your greatest teacher, and even the playground to restore and reclaim the joy of living. You are made better for rising to such challenges and influence your loved ones, as well as your community, in positive, beautiful ways by showing up as your full, authentic self.
The 20% – 80% Rule for YOU
When I learned this little fact about somatic healing, my whole world illuminated. My eyes bulged, my jaw dropped, I got goosebumps and I suddenly understood why my approach to my own trauma-healing was so deeply and quickly effective.
FACT:
- 20% of healing work begins in the cognitive, analytical brain and delivers messages of safety, connection and healing to the body.
- 80% of healing work is rooted in the body and delivers messages to the brain of safety, connection and healing.
WHICH MEANS…
- If you are only using talk therapy (CBT) (which is amazing in it’s own rite), it’s not enough. You are barely scratching the surface by 20%. You must involve the body, The Body, The BODY.
