Lindsey graduated as an OT from NYU in 2011 destined to be in pelvic health. She followed her destiny, knowing she was going to be a double horned unicorn. Not many people know what OT is and add in pelvic health, well, she knew she had to perfect her elevator speech. She became the proud founder of the first in-home pelvic health practice in NYC (the Functional Pelvis) run by an OT. Now, she teaches OTs how to become rock star pelvic floor therapists (aka double horned unicorns.). She has had the honor of supporting more than 1,000 OTs in becoming pelvic health therapists. Her goal is that 10,000 OTs are trained in Pelvic Health by 2030! Lindsey thrives on being a connector to bring people together so that both therapists and clients alike can thrive.
She is the host of a weekly live show called "OT Empower Hour" on her Facebook group OTs for Pelvic Health which has over 6,000 members. There are over 150 hours of free training available. She is also the host of her weekly highly rated podcast "OTs in Pelvic Health" empowering fellow OTs with the path to take to have a successful and fulfilling career in pelvic health.
