Lindsay Fauntleroy is an acupuncturist, integrative counselor, educator, thought leader, and expert in flower essence therapy. She started her journey into holistic wellness while on her own healing path. She was first introduced to flower essence therapy when she was going through the process of trying to conceive her daughter. At the time she was diagnosed with what was referred to as 'ovarian failure,' thankfully a term that is no longer used. She found herself in her early twenties and in menopause, being told she could not conceive on her own-- a devastating revelation. That's when she found Bach flower remedies in her sister-in-law's cabinet. She started mixing some tinctures and when Lindsay gave them a try, she started to feel better. From there, the pathways to healing started to open up for her; she then began doing acupuncture and felt a connection to spirituality. Through prayer, meditation, and ritual, she was able to regain control of her life. Listen to this episode to hear Lindsay talk to hosts Steph and Carolyn about falling in love with the magic of another way of thinking about our body, and how body and mind are closely interconnected.
