She is the founder of Dreamscape Ketamine and Wellness, a ketamine clinic located in San Diego, California. Lindsey has experienced first-hand the benefits of ketamine infusions. For years, she battled severe fatigue, migraines, body pains, and other symptoms secondary to Lyme Disease that made it difficult to go about everyday tasks.

After her third treatment, her symptoms disappeared, and she was able to start rebuilding her life. It's this experience that inspired Lindsey to open Dreamscape Ketamine and Wellness.
