Dr. Lindsey Faucette
Dr. Lindsey has devoted her life to health and wellness first as a massage therapist and now family physician working to guide her patients to greater health and abundance. She is an educator, speaker, and author on topics ranging from dance as medicine to cultivating healing relationships.
Her work is centered on personalized healing and explorations of health for both herself and those around her. Her work as a physician and healer invigorates her sense of purpose and has created many opportunities to be of service to those in need and provide thoughtful guidance for those who desire to live a healthy and satisfying life. First as a holistic health practitioner, then as a family physician, and later as a speaker and educator, her work comes from the heart as a listener and advocate for wellness.
Her particular interests in natural medicine, psychosocial wellness, and innovative care allow her to be a refuge for people in need of guidance in navigating their personal healthcare journeys.
