Hello!
To introduce myself, I am Lindsey Kaupp - full-time mother, wife and occupational therapist
residing in Ponoka, AB.
I am a education-hoarder and always have a continuing education course on the go. If I wasn’t
an occupational therapist I would love to be in real estate or architectural design. When I walk
into a space I can see it for its potential and I feel I am the same way with people.
I try to look for the good in the world and enjoy my life as it flies by, however I could definitely
benefit from a slow motion button that would force me to spend more time in the moment and
not miss today while looking for tomorrow.
Hockey is a passion for me and I have met so many of the amazing people in my life through
sport. As a student-athlete with the University of Lethbridge Women’s Hockey team, I thrived on
the team atmosphere and community of athletes, coaches and support staff. This has translated
into a passion for connecting with other professionals with similar interests and trying to be
involved with young female athletes whenever possible.
My journey in women’s health has come about through my lived experience with pelvic health
dysfunction, and my unexpected career in mental health. I am an anatomy and movement geek
at heart, so employment in mental health was never a goal of mine, until it happened. The years
I have spent in mental health have been the most rewarding time of my career thus far and has
prepared me to work with women from all walks of life, with all different issues and solutions.
E-Motion Therapy was created out a recognition of a gap in services, not only regarding
women’s health in rural Alberta, but within women’s health services as a whole.
As an occupational therapist, I am equipped to address the vast majority of the factors that
impact a woman’s pelvic health and daily life, such as physical function, psychological factors
and environmental influences. This enables a holistic and individual approach. It has also
allowed me to become comfortable asking the hard questions around topics that often carry
stigma or are not talked about such as sexual function or maternal mental health.
In short, I want to be the resource that I wish I had access to or had known about in my time of
need. This is my way of providing hope and encouragement for women in my community in
seeking quality whole-person care regarding women’s health and pelvic health in rural Alberta.
