I am passionate about what we are doing here at Vitality, Bodywork is an essential investment in your health, just like exercise, adequate sleep, proper nutrition and plenty of water.
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).
From there, her interest in the optimal performance of the human body led her to study massage at the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy (2005), the most highly accredited school in the state, where she graduated at the head of her class.
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
