ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR PELVIC HEALTH
Melissa is a pelvic floor physical therapist with 8 years of experience and the owner of Wellest Integrative Health. Wellest is the leading interdisciplinary pelvic health clinic in Boston. On her journey to motherhood (she is a new mom!), Melissa saw first hand the disconnect between pelvic health and OBGYN care.
Kathy is a family nurse practitioner and pelvic floor therapist. Kathy’s firsthand knowledge about pelvic health comes from her experience being a mom and as a former cancer patient. Her work is enhanced by over 10 years as a nurse practitioner with a wealth of women’s health experience.
They utilize a holistic approach to pelvic health in their collaboration and mentoring of clinicians/ PTs and NPs. This unique approach works so beautifully, that Melissa and Kathy were inspired to create the Institute for Pelvic Health, an online community of clinicians that are passionate about elevating the field of pelvic health. We are so delighted to have you as part of our community. Let’s revolutionize the field of pelvic health TOGETHER!
