About Lindsay Percy:
Redhaven Healing [https://redhavenhealing.ca/]
Motherhood did not begin gently for me. My journey began with infertility and hormonal challenges in my early twenties, followed by an aggressive cancer diagnosis just weeks after welcoming our second child.
In the years that followed, I walked through fear, depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, and seasons of feeling completely lost in my identity as a woman and mother. I know what it feels like to be overstimulated, to raise my voice and sit in guilt afterward, to wonder why connection feels harder than it should. Those experiences forced me to rebuild from the inside out, learning nervous system regulation, somatic healing, intuitive and spiritual grounding, and how to lead my home with steadiness instead of survival.
Today, I am a trained intuitive energy healer, somatic healing practitioner, and spiritual mentor, bringing both lived experience and professional training into the work I offer. My family’s shift toward homeschooling, homesteading, growing our own food, and living more intentionally was not aesthetic, it was necessary. The land, nourishment, rhythm, and presence restored something in us that crisis had shaken.
