Lindsey Cartwright
Lindsey is a dedicated health and wellness coach specializing in supporting sensitive adults who experience high anxiety and emotional challenges. She helps clients who haven’t found success with traditional methods by using tools to reset and calm the nervous system, addressing core issues and fostering emotional balance. Lindsey is the creator of the Compass Method, a comprehensive coaching program offered in 3- and 6-month formats, with a 1-hour private session option currently in development.
Her coaching journey began at OsteoStrong, where she worked with clients on osteoporosis and bone health using alternative methods like specialized machines and vibration plates. This experience inspired her to help people approach wellness in holistic, personalized ways. After being let go during her pregnancy, Lindsey took the leap to start her own business, building her practice from the ground up by developing her program, creating her website, and establishing systems to serve clients effectively.
Lindsey’s approach blends practical wellness tools with compassionate guidance, emphasizing gradual progress and celebrating small victories. She believes that healing is not about forcing change but learning to feel safe in one’s body, understand emotions, and move forward with clarity. Through her coaching, clients reconnect with their inner compass, cultivating calm, confidence, and a sustainable path to emotional well-being.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to persistence more than anything. I've been through the imposter syndrome and questioning whether I can really do this - even all the way through college until I got my degree, my brain just wanted to question things. But it's really about stepping away from those thoughts, breaking that cycle, and just trying to stay focused and get the job done. Even if it's a small task that I got done, I will take it and run with it, and that keeps my drive going. My family is a huge drive too - that's pretty much what's pushed me to do a lot of the things that I normally wouldn't do because I was fearful of it or worried about the risk. I thought about going to college after I graduated high school, but there was just never anything that triggered with me. Then as soon as I had my first daughter, it just changed everything for me - it gave me the motivation to get over the fear of things and just go for it.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
The biggest thing I would say is to really plan out your time before starting. Make sure there really is time allotted for what you're taking on. Whether you're single with no family or you have a family and a lot going on, everybody's busy, so being aware of how much time things take is crucial. Really focus on taking those small steps of progress - even if you just did one little thing, think of it more as 'hey, I got that done' rather than 'oh, I only got one thing done.' It's all about that perspective of not letting yourself get into your own head and get that imposter syndrome. I've already gone through the imposter syndrome and all of that. Another important thing is to make sure you're fully prepared before you start with your first client. You don't want to start with that first person and not have some kind of game plan, some way to schedule that appointment, some way to go through your program. But you also don't want to take preparation too far and get so prepared that you forget everything else - there's a balance.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenges I’m facing right now include managing limited startup funds, balancing my time while parenting multiple children, and securing my first paying client. On a broader level, I’m working on gaining visibility and moving from preparation to actively engaging with and supporting clients.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are persistence, staying motivated by family, and focusing on steady, meaningful progress in serving others.
