The Middle, High School and Body Image groups are led by Lyndsey, who trained as a classical ballet dancer while maintaining academic excellence in her youth. She understands first hand the complexities of perfectionism in school as well as through artistic expression and body image challenges. Her welcoming nature and familiarity with these issues provides a relatable, comfortable, and accepting environment for all age groups.
