Lindsay received her degree in Exercise & Sports Studies from Smith College (2001), and her Personal Trainer / Corrective Exercise Specialist certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (2000).

Her research on cardiovascular exercise was published by the Journal of Strength & Conditioning (2006), and her case-study on the Effectiveness of Massage Therapy in treating TMJ Dysfunction was published by the Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies (2007). Read the abstract.

Quote Great Reviews for Beth!
Hello!
I am sorry I am a week late with this but the spa ritual pedicure I had with Beth was the most relaxing pedicure I’ve ever experienced! I am on my feet for most of the week and not always choosing the most comfortable footwear, but feet and my calves felt brand new afterwards. I loved the variety of polish colors! Beth did such a nice job making me feel at ease. It was nice to lay back and relax in the comfort of my own private room. Thanks Beth, I will be back soon! KM
