My Story
My name is Lindsay Hurst, owner of Healing Root and Branch.
For as long as I can remember I have held a deep desire to help the people around me see who they are - their true essence and soulful self. My heart has always been full of compassion and empathy, and the ability to SEE. As I grew toward adolescence though, I slowly started the process of unlearning love for myself and instead grew towards shame and self-hatred as a result of the purity culture within which I was raised.
When I entered my thirties I realized that living with the deep emotional and physical pains caused from self loathing was no longer something I could take, and I started to seek out how to find healing for my broken heart. I began the return to that innate self love with which I had come into this world. Through the process of returning home to my essence I have studied and personally experienced countless methods, processes and techniques that have helped me find healing for the mind, body and heart.
Today I use these techniques for my continued healing along with a daily divine practice of yoga, hiking, meditation, educational reading and absorbing as much love and light from the sun as I possibly can to allow for the continual unfolding and blossoming of self love.
My Approach
In my practice I use polarity therapy, cranial sacral therapy, emotion code, healing touch, multiple massage modalities, parasympathetic reset, active listening, spiritual coaching and other hands-on energetic healing techniques to transforms client’s blocks and root stories into forward movement, energy, direction and love. In my essence I am a healer, but so are you. I am the healer for my life and I can help you see how you are the healer for yours. In my sessions, clients can expect a combination of healing touch and positive emotional release as I create a sacred space for them to release root stories and fear, and accept love and healing. The result of my work for my client is parasympathetic rest, freedom from both mental and emotional blockages that have inhibited healing, self-discovery and an increased sense of direction and resolve to move forward in love and health.
