Lindsay has trained for over the past 21 years in Victoria with Stan Peterec and also lived in Thailand as a sponsored professional Muay Thai fighter at Promtep which later closed, and then at both Sinbi and 13 Coins with Saenchai Kotmuay, where the gyms gave her their last name - Lindsay Sinbi Muaythai in Phuket and Lindsay PK Saenchai Muay Thai gym in Bangkok. She was taught her Wai Kru by Saenchai who has been considered pound for pound best Muay Thai fighter in the world. She was asked by a Lumpinee promoter at 13 Coins in 2012 to be Sangmanee's main Sparring and clinching partner after she had been playing around with him in the ring one day because all the guys they had had become tired and they needed to keep him busy, and the promoters were sitting ringside watching and felt she was the perfect fit for him, so she continued to train with him every day. Sangmanee was just breaking onto the Muay Thai scene that year and went on to become a well known top champion and was also named Thailand fighter of the year later in 2012, so it was an honor for her to be personally invited to train with a very small exclusive group of the top Thai fighters in the world.

Lindsay has competed professionally all over the world including in Thailand, China, Korea, japan, United States and Canada. She was invited to fight at the Queens Birthday at the Royal Thai palace grounds as the main event for the World Professional Muay Thai Federation Featherweight title which aired live on the famous Thai Channel 7 sports network, and she won her WPMF title on August 11th 2011 as Lindsay Sinbi Muaythai. She went on to win the WAKO Pro Kickboxing World title in Korea later that year.
She has also competed in Boxing with some Amateur fights, as well as trained in various martial arts such as Arnis/Escrima/Kali, Yeung Chuan and Krav Maga over the years.
She began Meditation and Qi gong practice at age 13 to strengthen her mind and spirit.

She is currently the head instructor for the Women’s Muay Thai class at Peterec’s gym and has also taught Muay Thai classes out of the Pacific Centre for Sports Excellence (PISE) and out of the Aboriginal Recreation Centre in Duncan.
