Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lindsay Vermeeren. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Lindsay, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the best advice you ever gave to a client? How did they benefit / what was the result? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)

The journey of learning to listen to one’s body and trusting oneself is profoundly personal and transformative. One of the most profound pieces of advice I’ve shared with a client during this journey was about embracing their intuition and inner wisdom.

The context was a young woman struggling to make important life decisions. She felt overwhelmed by the conflicting opinions and advice she received from friends, family, and society. She had a habit of seeking external validation, often doubting her instincts and feelings.

In our sessions, we delved into tuning into her body’s signals and trusting her gut feelings. I encouraged her to pause and reflect on her thoughts and emotions without the noise of external influences clouding her judgment. We explored mindfulness techniques and practiced listening to her body’s subtle cues.
One day, she came to me with a significant decision weighing heavily on her mind. She had received conflicting advice from those around her, and she felt torn between following the expectations of others and honoring her inner voice. We talked through her options, but instead of giving her direct advice, I prompted her to tune into her body’s response to each potential choice.

After some contemplation, she shared that one option made her feel a sense of peace and alignment while the other stirred up feelings of tension and unease in her gut. With newfound clarity, she trusted her intuition and followed the path that resonated most with her authentic self.

Over time, I witnessed a profound transformation in her. She became more confident in her decisions and actions by learning to trust herself. She no longer sought external validation to confirm her choices but instead relied on her inner compass. This shift in mindset empowered her to make courageous decisions and brought a sense of inner peace and fulfillment to her life.

Ultimately, the best advice I gave her was to trust herself, and the result was a newfound sense of self-assurance and authenticity that guided her toward a more fulfilling life path.

Lindsay, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Skincare isn’t just about products; it’s about transformation from the inside out. With over 15 years of experience in the esthetics industry, I started to try to understand the skin to end the frustration of chasing promises that never seem to materialize. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to provide honest guidance and effective solutions that guide my clients to shine from the inside out.

This journey led me to where I am today, armed with knowledge, experience, and a burning passion to help others achieve their best skin… Mind, Body, Spirit.

I don’t believe in quick fixes or empty promises. Instead, I prioritize long-term skin health, providing personalized solutions that address the root causes of your concerns. My holistic approach considers not just what goes on your skin, but also what goes into your body and mind.

I work intuitively with each individual to guide them and teach them to listen to their body and how to shift their beliefs. I never know what to expect or what I will see, but the transformations are amazing. From clearing stubborn acne to rejuvenating aging skin, seeing my clients regain confidence and radiance is my greatest reward. But beyond physical changes, I am proud to foster genuine connections and empower my clients to embrace their natural beauty.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

My name is Lindsay, and I’m the face behind Coastal Face and Body. I’m not just an esthetician; I’m someone who knows the transformative power of wellness intimately. You see, my journey has been marked by challenges, including battling Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and adrenal fatigue—a journey that stemmed from the immense stress of navigating a 13-year-long custody battle. During those trying times, I truly learned what it means to prioritize self-care and holistic wellness.

Wellness isn’t just about skincare; it’s about nourishing your mind, body, and soul. It’s about finding the balance that allows you to shine your brightest, even during life’s darkest moments. For me, wellness became a lifeline—a way to heal my body, soothe my soul, and rediscover my inner radiance.

That’s why I’m so passionate about what I do. Coastal Face and Body isn’t just a space; it’s a haven where people from all walks of life can come to feel safe, let go, and receive love. It’s a place where we celebrate not just outer beauty but the beauty within—a place where you’re welcomed with open arms, no matter your journey.

I’m here to share the wisdom I’ve gained, the lessons I’ve learned, and the joy I’ve found in the wellness world. We’ll explore clean beauty, mindfulness, holistic practices, and more together. This is a space where you can embark on your wellness journey, and I’ll be here every step of the way.
