About this Speaker

Lindsay is best known for supporting people on their spiritual journey and helping them to reconnect with their intuition. On 24 October 2016, her best friend Lisa passed away; she was only 52 and she lost her on her 36th birthday. Grief hit her really hard and she came to realise how emotionally numb she'd been for so many years. A full-time mum to two children – living a routine existence devoted to doing everything for everyone else but nothing for herself – ‘Groundhog Day’ was her reality. Her husband thought she was depressed, but the diagnosis was that she was grieving. She later attended an access bars taster session, where the practitioner physically touched 32 specific points on her head. She went home and, ever the people-pleaser, she set her first boundary – saying no to her husband about something she can’t even remember. Her new mindset led to a snowball effect and by 2017 they were divorced. Living under the same roof for six months until her mutual living arrangements were sorted out was hard, but she got through it – drawing upon her own ‘spiritual toolkit’ and focusing on taking care of her children. Self care was her top priority. In the nine years leading up to the divorce, she'd become a Reiki teacher, learnt about crystals, angel cards and spirits, as well as mindfulness and meditation. Up until this point she hadn’t put this knowledge into practice for her own wellbeing, but her toolkit served her well and it bore a book! It was April 2018 when she woke up and wrote the first 5,000 words of ‘A Gentle Hug for the Soul’; by September that year it was finished. Self-published on Amazon two days before her birthday, it was the perfect way to remember Lisa. When it won an award at the 2019 Soul & Spirit Book Awards, she felt euphoric. Having founded her business in 2017, NRG Healing, initially it was to do Reiki and crystal healing. However, over the last few years as she has developed spiritually she has learned to listen to her intuition, connecting with not only spirits of loved ones but those well known too, such as Winston Churchill, George Michael and William Shakespeare. Her life’s purpose is to support people through their own spiritual journey. It isn’t always easy and sometimes it is good to know which tools there are to navigate your way.
