Unlock the healing potential of your body & mind.
Your body is a beautiful, complete structure capable of full health and healing on every level. As a Holistic Body Coach and Registered Massage Therapist, my goal is to unlock that power, find your sore spots, connect you to your innate healing capability, and get you moving the way nature intended.
Do you ever feel like you’re at war with your body?
Does it feel like no matter what you do, you can’t get your body to fall in line? When you’re dealing with chronic pain, persistent injury, tension, or dis-ease, it’s easy to become frustrated and blame your body for not towing the line.
The world is overrun with easy “solutions” in the forms of pills, diets and intervention. But if there is an easy solution, why doesn’t your body respond? If you’re doing everything right, it must mean your body is broken. Spoiler alert: It’s not. But it’s no wonder it’s so common to look at our bodies with disappointment and frustration.
Your body is your closest guide and ally.
Let’s face it. No one thing has been with you as long as your body. She’s been there through thick and thin. He’s carried your soul around since day one. When you were overwhelmed she released the tension with tears, and on the best day of your life he transformed your joy into an audible explosion of laughter to share with everyone around you. She healed every bruise you’ve ever had. Your body is what allows you to interact with reality as we know it!
Symptoms are your body’s way of politely asking, “Can we slow down for one sec? I need to recalibrate.” If you asked that question and the response was, “What’s wrong with you?” followed by a pill that makes your voice quieter so they can’t hear your complaint - how would you respond? Like a rebellious teenager, you’d probably give them the exact opposite response they’re after. So why would your body behave any differently?
“Too often we forget that we started as ONE cell, and those cells knew without any direction, how to grow and multiply and specialize to create the entire miracle that is your body. That magic is still there!”

You can change the way your body works.
Both you and your body want the same thing: To be healed and healthy, to move freely and to LOVE being alive.
When there is pain or resistance in the body, without your conscious guidance, your body will find a workaround. Under-utilized muscle groups, over stimulated nervous systems and emotional or physical trauma all present in a tenderness that your body attempts to alleviate. Your body will find a new way to move to protect you from pain, but it can also get stuck in those patterns.
By firing the body’s most powerful organ, the brain, we can tune in, become conscious of our body’s response, and consciously interrupt that pattern. By inserting new movement patterns we can bring everything back into alignment.
As a holistic RMT, I locate pain and resistance in the body, then guide you to release it for the long haul.
Hi. I’m Lindsey Bradbury, and I use mindfulness training to teach you to hear what your body is telling you, massage therapy to identify stress and tension points, then through conscious, pattern-interrupting integrated movement, we train your body to do what it’s been dying to do all along - support you in fantastic health.
Here’s how we do it.
The Mind Body Move method places special focus on developing strength, conditioning and mind-body awareness along with correct body alignment – in addition to mobility and relaxation. Whole health happens when mind, body and soul work together like they have been designed to do. Physical, emotional and spiritual trauma can disrupt this perfect dance, causing pain in the body. Through the following mediums, I seek to quiet the noise, bring equilibrium, and allow for optimal communication between mind, body and soul bringing you into alignment with health.
In other words: I re-introduce you to yourself.
Meditation
Mediation is the key to unlocking the power of the body. By tuning in to what our bodies are saying instead of trying to tame its voice with pills and quick fixes, we can get to the root of the problem. Old, ineffective patterns and beliefs are what are causing your pain and frustration, so we need to address them head-on, by consciously introducing new patterns. As we learn to connect with ourselves, we establish the mind-body connection - an integral part of healing.
Intuitive Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy helps in relaxing the body’s nervous system, shifting the body into a state of healing. But it is also an excellent way to assess and map the body’s energetic flow and stagnation points. With the use of energetic intuition I tap into the needs of the body to support the release of “stuck” energy relieving physical pain, mental distress and emotional turmoil, as well as determining the best way forward for your specific body’s healing requirements.
Natural Movement & Mobility
Each body is as unique as the spirit it totes around. There is one thing however, that they all share: The body was made to move as one piece. Having a body that is aligned from crown to sole is essential. It’s what allowed us to move freely as children before we got older and more experienced in life, picking up traumas and patterns that don’t serve us. Our body beautifully adapts to meet us in our brokenness and will be grateful for a reminder of how it was intended to move.
“Man is what he believes.”

Do you believe you can heal and feel amazing?
When we approach our symptom as something that needs to be quieted, we lose the most important piece of our communication with the body. To turn up the volume on your body’s voice, we need to pause and check in. All of the tools you need to heal already exist within you. When we connect a mind that knows this, to the body that will bend over backwards to support you, real magic happens.
Establishing a mind-body connection and re-training your body is not an easy fix. But it is a lifelong one. I won’t lie, not everyone is up to this task. But if you are, or think you could be, you’ve found the support you’ve been looking for.
“Lindsey is a very special person. From the minute we spoke, I knew this would be a long term solution. Her deep understanding of the body’s movement patterns addressed issues with my son’s feet that I have been trying to help him with for years. Turns out everything he needed to heal was already there; he just needed to learn how to strengthen some neglected muscles, and train his body to move as it was designed to.”
