Kara Welke, OTD, OTR/L, CLT creator of the Next Level Occupational Therapy platform interviews Erin Lindberg who has been an Occupational Therapist since 2001. She has always had a passion to help and serve others. She chose the field of Occupational Therapy due to the holistic nature of the profession and her fascination with the mind-body connection. She graduated from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of North Dakota with a minor in Psychology.

Throughout her career, she has practiced in various settings and leadership. Erin discovered her calling in 2004 when she began her holistic therapy journey with John F. Barnes and his Myofascial Release approach. The personal experience created an understanding and empathy for women suffering from pelvic health issues, which led her to expand her holistic practice into women’s health in 2010.

Erin is passionate about whole-body health and hands-on individualized care, without the constraints and restrictions of insurance and large corporations. This sparked entrepreneurship with a non-traditional service model that provides comprehensive holistic care to clients that aligned with her personal and professional goals. In 2018, she opened her cash-based, holistic OT practice and multidisciplinary holistic health collaborative.

This came with challenges and learning experiences due to the limited resources for Occupational Therapists who want to start their own business. Erin’s mission is to empower clients through holistic OT practice and mentor professionals on expanding beyond their traditional OT role.
