She graduated as CMT from A to Z Health, Reseda, CA in 2014.
During these few short years she has gained much experience. Having worked for chiropractors since graduation, she has seen a pattern of chronic pain and tension due to our demanding life-styles of today.

During my time with InnerMovement, I have developed my prenatal technique, learning from the best prenatal chiropractor I’ve worked for, “Dr. Heidi”. It has boosted my confidence in providing optimal care for prenatal patients & prepping them for birth. I’ve been able to relieve many pregnancy related conditions such as back pain, pelvic pain, carpal tunnel and heart burn.
Lynsey can be very strong, but also has a light touch for the faint of heart. She listens and pays extra attention to her patients' needs, to provide a perfectly tailored session. She is very detailed and has an intuitive healing energy in her touch.
