About UsAs a registered nurse in England, Lindsay spent her career working with patients to provide care where she assessed, planned, implemented and reviewed cases to ensure individualized attention within the hospital setting.

About UsIn 2009, Lindsay was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis). She soon discovered that for as many cases as existed, there were as many different paths for which the medical community had no easy answer. Combining her professional nursing background, her ability to navigate the research arena and her desire to uncover the best treatment plan for her, she set out on a journey as her own Advocate. She is now interested in helping others navigate their journey and help them to live a better life.
