Lyndsey Housden

Lyndsey has a background in the arts and higher education. She is a lecturer in Interactive Media Design and an academic coach at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, NL, where she supports neurodivergent students and those living with chronic health conditions. She is deeply committed to making higher education more accessible, inclusive and responsive to diverse lived experiences.

After being diagnosed with MS in 2010 while living in the Netherlands, she discovered the Overcoming MS Program, a pivotal moment that strengthened her understanding of the role she could play in influencing her own health. Overcoming MS brought together the evidence-based lifestyle changes she had been searching for with a supportive community. This experience reshaped her path and inspired her to support others in living well with long-term health conditions.

Alongside her academic work, Lyndsey is an internationally exhibiting artist and former creative producer, with a background in installation art, somatic practice and interdisciplinary collaboration.

A coach and yoga teacher, she delivers the Yoga4Health social prescribing protocol and is passionate about making movement accessible and sustainable. She enjoys inspiring others to keep moving in ways that feel joyful and empowering.
