Lindy Ockuly, OTD, OTR/L, MBA

Lindy earned her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Pacific University in 2022. Her passion for occupational therapy began through years of volunteering with adaptive horseback riding programs, where she witnessed the unique impact that horses and movement can have on a person’s confidence, independence, and overall well-being.

Lindy specializes in incorporating equine movement into therapy sessions and enjoys using nature-based environments to create meaningful, engaging, and individualized experiences for children and families. She believes that some of the most significant progress comes from celebrating the small victories each day and values building strong, collaborative relationships with her clients and their caregivers.

Originally from Ohio, Lindy’s journey has taken her across the country—from earning her undergraduate degree in Colorado to living and working in California and New Mexico. She is thrilled to be back in the Pacific Northwest and to call Bend home. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her horses and cats, exploring the outdoors, and trying new recipes in the kitchen.
