About

Hi, I’m Lindsay Wheeler.

After 15 years in corporate leadership—while also teaching yoga, coaching speakers, and building community-rooted nonprofits—I felt a quiet but persistent pull to bring it all together. To create experiences that are deeply human, thoughtfully designed, and truly transformative.

That’s how LDW Coaching & Retreats came to life.

Rooted in presence, beauty, and intention, these retreats are more than just a getaway—they're a return. A return to yourself, to what matters most, and to the parts of life that often get lost in the noise.

I draw on everything I’ve learned—leading high-performing teams, guiding movement, supporting visionaries, and building community—to craft spaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow. 

Where transformation isn’t forced, but gently unfolds.

Whether we’re gathered on a yoga mat, around a shared table, or under the stars in Tuscany, my hope is simple: that you leave feeling more grounded, more connected, and more you.

A Quiet Pull Toward Wholeness

After 15 years in corporate leadership—while also teaching yoga, coaching speakers, and co-creating grassroots nonprofits—I began to feel a quiet, persistent pull: Bring it all together.

That whisper led me here— To a body of work where presence becomes power, and transformation unfolds with grace.

The Heart of LDW Retreats

LDW Retreats were born from this integration. They’re more than a pause from daily life—they’re a return.

To intention. To beauty. To the parts of you that may have gone quiet in the noise.

A Life of Integration

From leading teams at Global Fortune 50 companies, to teaching yoga, coaching TED Talk speakers, and building community-rooted nonprofits—what once felt like separate lanes now flow as one. Leadership, movement, storytelling, and service have all shaped me, and together they form the foundation of the work I offer today.

The Space I Hold

Whether we’re on a mat in Atlanta or gathered at a table in Tuscany, I hold space for clarity, connection, and becoming.

This work is about remembering who you are when you're fully present— and building a life that rises to meet that truth.

I had the immense pleasure of working with Lindsay during TEDx Peachtree Atlanta 2016.

Lindsay is a force. There are people who have big ideas, and then there's Lindsay. I've rarely seen anyone bring big ideas from ideation to creation the way that Lindsay does. She continuously delivers, all while leading with passion and heart. I've had the privilege to work with Lindsay on various projects, and it's been not only successful, but a fun process. If you're considering working with Lindsay, do it. You won't regret it!

Lindsay is an incredible and engaging coach, able to connect with a diverse team in a variety of situations. She has provided individual coaching, group coaching and group training both in-person and virtually to our team with widely ranging speaking skills. Lindsay’s expertise and talent allow her to adapt to a variety of situations, connect effectively and warmly, and elevate the speaking skills of individuals with varying experiences. We’ve learned how to capture an audience’s attention and maintain it throughout the speaking engagement, ensuring the focus stays on our set goal for the particular meeting/speaking engagement. We are so thankful we found Lindsay to help equip our team to confidently share our mission with our communities, grantors, partners, and employers.

Lindsay is hands down one of the sharpest, most collaborative, driven and compassionate leaders I have worked with in the tech industry. Beyond work, Lindsay is just a great human being, a true multiplier, someone that others want to be around, learn from, have a good laugh and push beyond the status quo. Lindsay is a true force who is to the core ethical, always striving towards a win-win outcome and most importantly the greater good. Working with her teams has been an honor, getting to know her as a person is a gift.

Living in the same community as Lindsay, I've witnessed first-hand her ability to transform a neighborhood into something that's more than just a place to live. With her entrepreneurial spirit, our community thrives because of her efforts. When Lindsay speaks, her community listens and responds because they know the quality of the work that she represents. Not to mention, she's an A-class person of the highest magnitude.
