Gail on Lindsay: "We met when Lindsay came for a solo retreat in August of last year, which began a like-minded connection and friendship. The healing work we did was pivotal to my healing process, life changing even! I love our relationship and what it has provided to others in my practice. I am taking the Art of Facilitation online course. It's the finest explanation and treatment of trauma that I've encountered. Look forward to the upcoming workshop here on October 14."

She writes and sings beautifully, loves to photograph women in nature, has vast knowledge of plants and animals, designs and builds healing gardens, and has a huge appetite for beauty and rightness. Her essence is contagious. Being with her is profoundly enlivening. She articulates her visions with great clarity.
