Mindy holds a Ph.D. in Counseling/School Psychology from the University at Buffalo. She is also a certified yoga instructor and founded the Tree of Life Yoga Studio in October of 2008. Mindy lives in Niagara Falls, NY with her daughter and husband Michael Lewis, co-founder of Living Wellness of Niagara.
Beginning in graduate school Mindy developed a fascination with the connection between the mind and body and how this connection could be utilized in order to foster healing, particularly in women. She studied prevention and treatment of eating disorders and how yoga might play a part in healing women struggling with body image issues and eating disorders. It was in graduate school that she first dreamed of opening a wellness center in her community, the City of Niagara Falls. Mindy envisioned a beautiful space that would welcome people in to seek relaxation, healing, and growth.
Living Wellness of Niagara is the culmination of these hopes and dreams! It is Mindy's hope that Living Wellness of Niagara will serve as a gathering place in our community where clients can come to nurture themselves. Currently, Living Wellness of Niagara is home to Mindy's practice as a psychologist and the Tree of Life Yoga Studio. Mindy and Michael hope to partner with a variety of health and wellness professionals in order to offer a rich array of services in the future.
