A Lighthouse of Intuition and Compassion

"LNZ is a truly gifted intuitive — the kind that feels like a warm, steady lighthouse in the fog.

She holds space with such loving presence, guided not only by her deep inner wisdom, but by the kind of intuition that asks just the right questions — the ones that bypass the surface and speak straight to the soul.

Her heart is enormous. Her energy is grounding. And every moment spent in her presence feels safe, seen, and sacred.

If you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply a space to be held without judgment… LNZ is the real deal. Pure magic wrapped in compassion and truth."

- Kathryn Malek

From Lifelong Fear to Complete Calm

“I struggled with fear in cars for most of my 72 years of life. Before a 1,500-mile road trip, I wanted to release the belief that I had to stay hyper-vigilant and worry in order to stay safe.

During our sessions, LNZ created such a calm and relaxing space that I felt confident something deep was shifting rather than just ‘white-knuckling’ through my fear.

On the trip we were caught in a sudden storm with heavy rain and hail. Our car fishtailed while passing a semi and it looked like we might crash. But in that moment I felt completely calm and had a sense of well-being. We safely went off into the median and no one was hurt.

Before working with LNZ I was at a 1 out of 10. Now I’m a 10. The fear is gone. I can travel in a car and actually enjoy the scenery.

LNZ has a very calming voice and made me feel at ease and confident the whole time.”

- Kathleen Eldred

From Stuck to Clear and Moving Forward

"I partnered with LNZ during a period of transition when I felt stuck and unable to move forward in a way that truly supported my goals.

Throughout our sessions, LNZ demonstrated a natural intuitiveness and presence that helped me identify and release patterns that had been holding me back for some time.

Because of our work together, I gained clarity, a renewed sense of acceptance, and a greater ease in how I show up in both my professional and personal relationships.

I came in with a plan for what I wanted to work through, but it was LNZ's ability to connect, create safety, and build trust that allowed me to fully engage in the process.

I am genuinely grateful for the experience, the growth I experienced, and for LNZ’s thoughtful guidance every step of the way."

- Josh Seitz

Gentle Guidance, Profound Insight

"My session with LNZ was truly transformational!

From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of safety and relaxation. Her ability to listen without judgment really allowed me to open up and share in a way that felt really good to me.

During the session she expertly guided me in such a gentle and soothing way that really allowed me to open up and experience profound insights that really helped bring clarity to my business and life.

If you are looking for deep support so you can reach your next level, I highly recommend booking a session with LNZ!"

- Sarah Thorman

From Obstacles to Confident Progress

"LNZ's coaching has been truly transformative. Her ability to listen deeply, reflect meaningfully, and ask thought-provoking questions has helped me gain clarity, build confidence, and take purposeful action toward my goals.

She brings an authentic, positive energy to every session, creating a space where growth feels both supported and possible.

Through our coaching work, I've been able to move past obstacles, tackle challenges with confidence, and stay committed to my worthy goal — even when it wasn't the most urgent thing on my plate. LNZ's empathetic approach, combined with her deep understanding of positive psychology, makes her an outstanding coach.

I highly recommend LNZ to anyone looking to move forward and thrive.

Her support, insight, and encouragement make all the difference in achieving meaningful personal and professional growth."

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is Lindsay Oberst (LNZ)? And What Is Shiny Happy Life?

I am Lindsay Oberst (LNZ) — an intuitive healer, transformational coach, and lover of self-expression and creativity. I also make fabulous hats and art.

Shiny Happy Life is an invitation to reconnect with the truth of who you are beneath the noise, the conditioning, and the stories that say something is wrong with you.

Through mindfulness, transformational coaching, embodied presence, and somatic exploration, our work helps you soften the patterns that keep you stuck and rediscover your natural capacity for joy, ease, and aliveness.

Many people come feeling disconnected — from their bodies, their emotions, or their sense of purpose.

This work creates a space where you can safely return to yourself.

What led me to this work?

My path to this work grew out of my own healing journey.

In my 20s, I struggled with chronic health challenges, including blood sugar issues, which affected me daily. Through holistic lifestyle changes, mindfulness, movement, and self-care, I was able to restore my health — and these lessons became a foundation for the work I do today.

I also experienced social anxiety, recurring depression, disconnection from myself and others, and a deep sense that something about me needed fixing.

Through practices like yoga, breath, mindfulness, meditation, somatic awareness, and accepting support, I began to discover something surprising: beneath all the striving and self-improvement was a deeper truth — nothing was wrong with me.

This realization changed my life. It sparked a deep curiosity about how humans heal, reconnect, and rediscover their inherent wholeness.

Today, I bring together my training and experience in positive psychology coaching and mindfulness with years of embodied practice to support others in remembering the truth of who they are.

What makes my approach unique?

My approach blends professional training, lived experience, and deep embodied presence.

I combine mindfulness, transformational coaching, somatic exploration, and unique breath and embodiment processes to create a powerful healing experience.

This work supports reprogramming the subconscious, retraining the brain, and rewiring the nervous system.

I use breath techniques, somatic unwinding, energetic realignment, verbal guidance, and sometimes gentle touch to create the right conditions for you to let go of old fears, self-sabotaging patterns, and limiting beliefs — even the most ingrained ones.

Unlike approaches that focus only on thinking or behavior, this work is experiential and body-centered, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and create a life of ease, deep fulfillment, and joy — just the way you desire and deserve.

Who is this work for?

This work is especially supportive for people who:

Feel disconnected from themselves and others and want a safe space to release fear and self-doubt

Struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism and are ready to gain clarity and insight into their patterns

Want to feel more alive, joyful, and present, and to move forward in life with confidence and ease

Are curious about somatic healing, self-discovery, and mindful practices

You don’t need any experience with meditation, breathwork, or somatic practices.

Just a willingness to explore.

How does my process work?

Step 1 – Create Safety

I begin by creating a grounded, safe space using mindfulness, somatic awareness, guided breath and meditation, and compassionate presence.

Your nervous system relaxes, and your body feels supported, preparing you to release what’s been holding you back.

Step 2 – Generate Clarity

Through positive psychology coaching, mindful reflection, and embodiment processes, insights naturally emerge.

You become aware of patterns, beliefs, and habits without judgment, opening the door to deeper understanding and transformation.

Step 3 – Move Forward with Freedom

I use positive psychology tools, strengths-based exercises, resilience practices, and mindful embodiment to help you move forward with ease, confidence, and aligned action — fully stepping into the life you want to create.

My work for each person is personalized, combining breath, embodiment, mindfulness, and coaching to meet you exactly where you are and guide you to where you want to be.

What training or background informs my work?

My approach draws from both professional training and lived experience.

I spent 15 years as a health and wellness journalist and copywriter, focusing on nutrition and holistic health. About five years ago, I shifted to supporting people directly.

I hold a master’s degree in positive psychology coaching and am certified through the International Coaching Federation.

My training includes mindfulness, acceptance and commitment–based practices, appreciative inquiry, solution-focused coaching, laughter yoga, and happiness training with Marci Shimoff.

I am currently continuing my training with the SOLignment Institute, studying trauma-informed breath and embodiment practices with internationally renowned healer Julia Mikk, and pursuing certification as an internationally accredited mindfulness meditation teacher.

Together, these influences shape a compassionate, body-centered approach that helps people reconnect with themselves in a safe and supportive way.

What kinds of changes do people experience after working with me?

Everyone’s experience is unique, but many people come to this work feeling stuck in patterns like anxiety, fear, overthinking, or a sense that something in their life isn’t flowing the way they want it to.

Through working together, people often experience shifts such as:

Releasing lifelong fear patterns

Moving from hyper-vigilance into a deeper sense of calm and trust

Feeling more present and able to enjoy everyday moments

Letting go of limiting beliefs that have quietly shaped their choices for years

Experiencing real internal change — not just learning to cope with the problem

Reconnecting with a deeper sense of peace, joy, and possibility

For some people, the change feels subtle at first — a quiet sense of relief or spaciousness inside.

For others, the shift can feel profound. One client came to a session before a long road trip after living with fear in cars for most of her life. After our work together, she found herself calm and grounded even during a sudden storm on the road. Later she shared that the fear she had carried for decades was simply gone — and she could finally enjoy traveling.

While every journey is different, many clients say they leave sessions feeling more relaxed, more present, and more connected to the truth of who they are.

What do you mean by “remembering the truth of who you really are”?

Knowledge of the self is the foundation for human flourishing, according to many great teachers. As Carl Jung said, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are” — reminding us that our deepest work isn’t becoming someone new, but uncovering who we’ve always been beneath conditioning.

Remembering the truth of who you really are means reconnecting with the part of you that has always been whole, wise, and enough — beneath the stories, fears, and patterns that life has layered over time.

Most of us learn to move away from our natural feelings, instincts, and inner guidance in order to adapt, survive, or perform. Over time, this creates a sense of disconnection from ourselves — our bodies, our emotions, and our sense of aliveness.

This work gently helps you remove the layers of conditioning and return to your natural state of clarity, presence, and joy.

It’s not about fixing anything.

It’s about remembering what has always been true: you are inherently complete, capable, and deserving of a life filled with ease, play, and connection.

Why do so many people feel disconnected from themselves?

Many of us learned, often at a very young age, to move away from our natural feelings, instincts, and inner knowing.

Sometimes this happens because life asked us to be strong, to perform, to adapt, or to push through difficult experiences. Over time, we can become very skilled at living in our minds while losing touch with the wisdom of our bodies and hearts.

This disconnection is incredibly common — and it is not a personal failure.

In many ways, it’s a natural response to living in a fast-paced world that rarely invites us to slow down and listen inwardly.

The beautiful thing is that the connection to yourself is never truly lost. It simply becomes quiet beneath the layers of habit, stress, and old protective patterns.

The work we do together gently helps you rediscover that connection, so you can experience more presence, freedom, and aliveness in your life.

What if I feel nervous about trying something new?

Feeling a little nervous is completely natural.

Trying something new — especially something that involves slowing down and listening to the body — can feel unfamiliar at first.

In our sessions, we move slowly and with care. You are always in control of your experience, and nothing is forced.

Many clients say that they feel a sense of safety, ease, and being deeply supported. One called me "a guiding light for people to go into places that are terrifying."

Curiosity is often all that’s needed to begin.

How will I know if this work is right for me?

If something in you feels curious, relieved, or quietly hopeful when reading about this work, that is often a good sign.

Many people say they felt a subtle sense of “This might be what I’ve been looking for.”

The work is not about fixing you.

It’s about creating the conditions where your natural clarity, joy, and wholeness can re-emerge.

If you're curious, please sign up for a complimentary connection call where we can explore what you're experiencing and if my approach is right for you. You don't have to do this alone!

Is this work only about positivity or happiness?

True happiness isn’t about avoiding difficult emotions.

It comes from turning toward our full range of emotions and allowing them to move through us with compassion and awareness.

How do I get started?

If you feel curious about this work, the simplest next step is to schedule a complimentary Connection Call.
