Wellest Integrative Health

Fantastic experience: The team at Wellest goes above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their clients. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with kindness and made to feel at ease. I've been working with Sarah on and off for about a year, and it’s clear she is just as invested in my progress as I am. She takes the time to ask thoughtful questions, exploring various potential factors for my symptoms. Each session feels tailored to my needs that day, whether it involves assessing posture, external massage, or internal work, and she adjusts her approach as needed. Sarah’s expertise extends beyond her direct care—she thoughtfully suggests outside resources or therapies that might complement my treatment. I’ve seen meaningful improvements in my overall symptoms and deeply appreciate feeling supported and validated throughout this journey. Her bedside manner is exceptional, making what could otherwise be an uncomfortable process feel manageable and even enjoyable. At Wellest, I never feel like just another number, and that personalized care makes all the difference.

Fantastic experience: I am very appreciative of the excellent care I have received from Kathy Kates, NP over the years. I highly recommend her and the Wellest team who will offer expert and empathetic clinical care for your individual needs. Thank you! Wendy C

Fantastic experience: I received a first rate PT, professional, friendly and very effective

Fantastic experience: Wellest has been my rock from before pregnancy thriving while pregnant and now beyond! The breadth of skills and knowledge combined with the deep expertise in women’s help has been amazing! Can recommend to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful! They’ve been great with collaborating with my treatment team and finding different ways to help manage my pain

Fantastic experience: Wellest is truly the best of the best. Working with Kathy has completely changed my life, and I don’t say that lightly. After dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction for over 10 years, Kathy was the only provider to swiftly and accurately diagnose Endometriosis, and work tirelessly to make sure I received the proper care. Kathy is a wealth of knowledge who always goes above and beyond for her patients. To have someone as knowledgeable, compassionate, and talented as Kathy on my team is a true gift. I would recommend her and Wellest in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: I first found Melissa when she was just starting her practice and our work changed my life. I had studied women’s health, given birth 4 times, taught prenatal exercise and was a doula. I thought I was very informed. My OBGYN told me I that my chronic “UTIs”, pain with intercourse, stress incontinence and heaviness in the pelvic area when I would run were the result of having 4 pregnancies and were “normal aging”. I felt shame and I felt isolated. These symptoms affected my sexual relationships and were impacting my self-confidence. Working with Melissa, I learned that while many women do experience these symptoms, there are ways to heal the pelvic floor and live pain free. She helped me learn how to reconnect with my body and to trust it again. I am so grateful that I found Melissa all those years ago and am so inspired by the community of caring and knowledge she has created. I highly recommend Melissa and her team- book a session. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Kathy! She went above and beyond to make me feel supported and cared for, from my physical to mental wellbeing. I am so grateful to have found Wellest!

Fantastic experience: I suffered from pelvic floor issues for over 25 years until I found Kathy at Wellest Integrative Health. Working with Wellest has truly been a godsend. The care, support, information and advice has helped me to finally feel in control of my pelvic health. I have tried many PTs and other options for solving pelvic floor syndrome and Wellest is the only one that has brought long lasting relief from symptoms and peace of mind that I can actually take steps to cure myself.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Shannon for years and wouldn't be able to do my job or live my life fully with my kids without her. So grateful to have found her.

Fantastic experience: I have had such an amazing experience with Wellest both for birth prep and postpartum recovery pelvic floor physical therapy. The office is such a comfortable space with great energy. I am able to bring my daughter with me, they even have a bouncer for her. Kristin (and the whole Wellest team) has been an essential member of my team for healing and strengthening I have learned so much from her. I definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience at Wellest - If you have digestive issues I highly recommend working with Sarah, she was very knowledgable in this area and able to provide me with relief and techniques I could do on my own at home. The atmosphere is very soothing and everyone was enjoyable to interact with!

Fantastic experience: Wellest quite literally changed my life! I was suffering from a hip injury when I became pregnant, and was so worried it would only get worse as my pregnancy progressed. I saw Dr. Sarah weekly and with a combination of hands on work and PT exercises, she was able to help me heal months before having my baby. I continued seeing her for birth prep and felt so prepared and ready! I can’t recommend Wellest enough

Fantastic experience: Sarah and everyone at Wellest is amazing. So helpful and supportive after I had my baby!

Fantastic experience: Wellest is an amazing group of practitioners, and I have loved going to see Kathy for 5 years now! Not only has she helped me recover from two pregnancies/deliveries and other pelvic health issues, she has been great about addressing any other needs that come up in my life, from work-related strains to back pain. I always look forward to my Wellest appointments and would highly recommend them to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Over the past thirty years I've had dozens of injuries, multiple surgeries and probably seen at least 20 physical therapists for one thing or another. But Melissa is by far the best. She's both analytical and holistic in her assessments, exceedingly thorough in her recommendations and an expectional listener, too. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: Wellest is incredible. The staff is so welcoming and supportive. I’ve learned so much about my body. I really appreciate the personal care I am receiving and the various therapies we’re trying to find what works best for my body. I would highly recommend Wellest for anyone struggling with pelvic floor pain.

Fantastic experience: Kathy and the staff at Wellest are exceptional! So incredibly knowledgeable, holistic, and supportive. Beautiful office and top notch job - I feel heard, validated and like there are realistic actions I can and will take to address my concerns. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: The team at Wellest is one of the best. Melissa treated me personally during my first pregnancy, and was so helpful preparing my body for my birth. As a local perinatal and pediatric chiropractor, Wellest is always on my referral list for people looking for the best pelvic health care in Boston. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Wellest with Melissa and her team! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. Melissa is incredibly kind and genuinely makes me feel comfortable discussing any topic, which is so important in this field. I look forward to my sessions because not only is she a skilled practitioner, but she’s also fun to chat with. Her listening skills are top-notch; she really pays attention to my comfort level and needs. In addition to her manual therapy, Melissa has a wealth of knowledge that can be applied in various areas -- she even helped me adjust my exercise form! I truly believe everyone could benefit from the educational perspective offered at Wellest. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with Melissa and the team at Wellest! Patient experience is so important, and Melissa has absolutely nailed this. Communication is always clear, it’s very easy to get in touch with the team, and it’s obvious Melissa and the other therapists truly care about their patients. Boston is so lucky to have Melissa and the Wellest team!!

Fantastic experience: Melissa Hines at Wellest Integrative Health is highly recommended by me from my three years of working with her. Melissa is a hands-on therapist who will wholistically move you to greater health deeply and meaningfully. Her diverse skills, knowledge, and compassion always bring me into awe and gratitude.

Fantastic experience: Melissa is a wealth of information about the body, tone, hypermobility and how to improve function and health. I am a provider myself in the area of myofunctional therapy and her standards are quite high to ensure quality care. I'd recommend this practice to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Wellest is great! Melissa and Kristin are both so attentive to my needs, are consummate professionals and wonderful people. Team couldn’t be more kind!

Fantastic experience: Melissa and The Wellest Team are amazing!! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and striving to improve patient wellbeing and pelvic floor awareness - your care is in great hands!

Fantastic experience: Melissa and the Wellest team were integral to my postpartum care. After childbirth, it can feel like your OBGYN has moved on and there is very little follow up on your recovery. Knowledgable, compassionate & warm, the Wellest team provided that much needed care, which has set me up for the long-term. Since my time with them, I've had more babies and had the resources to recover from each birth smoothly. I can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: As a fellow physical therapist, I hold high standards for patient care and treatment outcomes, and Wellest exceeds them in every way. Their expertise in pelvic floor rehabilitation is unmatched, and they truly understand how to deliver personalized care that addresses each patient's unique needs. I have personally seen the transformative impact their work has had on individuals struggling with pelvic pain, incontinence, and post-partum recovery. Patients leave with improved function, confidence, and a better quality of life. The attention to detail and genuine passion for helping others sets this clinic above the rest!

Fantastic experience: Wellest health has helped me so much in many aspects of my healing journey. I have been a patient here the past few years and will continue to be. I am so thankful for the staff here!

Fantastic experience: Before having my first child, I wanted to prepare in every way possible. While getting the nursery ready, buying the essentials, and stocking the fridge were all important, I quickly realized that preparing my body physically was just as crucial. That’s what led me to Melissa for sessions before delivery. Melissa not only helped me prepare my body physically but also provided significant mental support. Her expertise and calming presence made a huge difference. She listens attentively and answers questions thoroughly, making sure you understand everything. I highly recommend seeing Melissa for treatment, whether you’re a soon-to-be mom or a new mom, and no matter where you are on your pelvic floor journey!

Fantastic experience: I was nervous before my first pelvic floor therapy appt but so glad I invested in this step. I owe my easeful first labor (5 min of pushing!) and more comfortable second pregnancy to working with Kristin Kennedy. The entire team at Wellest is compassionate, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping their patients.

Fantastic experience: Melissa and Kathy have both been extremely supportive and knowledgable! I absolutely love how they take so much time and effort to support individuals needs, I highly recommend Wellest

Fantastic experience: The team at Wellest Health are leaders of the pelvic health community here in Boston and beyond. Melissa has assembled a group of compassionate, detail-oriented, expert practitioners who truly care about the wellbeing of each patient. As the owner of a therapeutic pilates studio, I have witnessed many clients benefit directly from their care. I repeatedly hear clients remark upon improved quality of life, and I've seen first-hand how they find relief, gained functionality, and increased strength and mobility by working with Melissa and her team. I am also fortunate to have experienced Melissa's care personally. I am now 34 weeks pregnant and have seen her regularly since very early in my pregnancy. Her treatments and guidance have eased discomfort through each trimester, and I know I am preparing my body the best way possible for the upcoming birth. It has also made such a difference working with a provider who thoroughly takes the time to listen and address concerns or questions during each appointment. This has helped bridge the gap I have sometimes experienced during rushed visits at other doctor's offices. It is incredibly supportive and reassuring to know Melissa is overseeing my care and will continue to do so during my recovery after labor and delivery. I am immensely grateful Wellest Health is such a fantastic resource here in Boston!

Fantastic experience: Kristin and Wellest were incredible to work with! Kristin is extremely knowledgeable about Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (which I have) and was able to provide insight and expertise as to how I can best manage it even outside of pelvic concerns. Going in, I expected pelvic floor PT to feel awkward but Kristin is able to make visits feel very comfortable and laid back. I genuinely looked forward to each visit. I would highly recommend Kristin and Wellest to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Wellest Integrative Health has been so helpful with all of my physical therapy needs especially while being pregnant! There are so many unknowns throughout process and Kristen Kennedy has been incredibly knowledgable and supportive throughout it all. I could not recommend this practice more!

Fantastic experience: I was first introduced to Wellest after being diagnosed with two bladder conditions. At 23 years old, I wasn't anticipating said diagnoses so soon, and felt ill equipped to navigate a condition(s) that none of my peers were experiencing alongside myself which left me feeling unsure of next steps. I came to Wellest experiencing strong and persistent symptoms that were very disruptive throughout my day to day. Within 4 months, Sarah Ellison gave me the tool kit to not only mitigate my symptoms, but treat them in addition to creating a prolonged asymptomatic state. I've gone from having multiple flares per day for multiple years to having flares once or twice a month if that. I highly recommend having a consult with Wellest and treatment by Sarah!

Fantastic experience: I see Kristin for pelvic floor therapy and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It is clear that Kristin is very passionate about helping her patients and she looks at the whole person and not just the symptoms to optimize your health and well being. I would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kristin at Wellest pre- and post-partum. Kristin was incredibly knowledgeable, talented, encouraging, and caring. She helped me prepare and recover from the birth of my first child. I would highly recommend Wellest to those in need of pelvic floor therapy.

Fantastic experience: As a dietitian and group practice specializing in gut health and eating disorders, Kristin has been integral to our clients' care and healing process.  Her compassion and expertise as well as her collaboration has been invaluable and we have noticed that the patients who see Kristin for pelvic floor therapy have the best success with their symptoms, goals, and ongoing health.  We highly recommend her services!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend seeing Kristin if you have any pain or concerns about your pelvic health. She is extremely knowledgeable, very calm and comforting presence, and clearly passionate about helping others. As a prenatal massage therapist, I refer all of my clients to Kristin, they all rave about her as well!

Fantastic experience: Wellest is a wonderful business. It is clear from the first visit that not only are they passionate about what they do but they have extensive knowledge on pelvic health. Pelvic health can be a vulnerable topic for patients so having a practitioner make you feel at ease and comfortable is essential, Melissa and her team do an overall incredible job at just that. I recommend them to clients whenever I have the chance!

Fantastic experience: Wellest Integrative Health holds a special place in my heart as they've been my trusted partner in holistic wellness - like a warm hug in healthcare. Whenever someone I care about needs support during pregnancy or post-partum, I always recommend Wellest for their personalized care and access to top-notch specialists. With their help and amazing network, I discovered an incredible acupuncturist and massage therapist who have greatly enhanced my well-being. What sets Wellest apart is not just their quality of care, but the genuine sense of support, incredible network and empowerment they provide. For anyone seeking holistic wellness, I cannot recommend Melissa and her entire team enough!

Fantastic experience: As a Certified Professional Midwife and Birth/Postpartum doula in the Boston area I have 100% trust in Wellest and all the amazing practitioners within. I would argue that Pelvic Floor health should be the #1 focus all pregnant/ postpartum people should put their time and energy into. Over the years, I refer all my clients to this practice and have never heard a negative thing. All my clients rave about this practice. Melissa Hines is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate pelvic floor PT practitioner that I highly trust and recommend! I hope you can make time for this practice and taking great care of your pelvic health!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, nurturing providers with unique expertise and commitment. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Such an incredible office. Super safe and relaxing environment. Dr. Kennedy has been incredible. My situation has really been a fact finding mission and I truly feel like we’re in it together to work on it. And my consult call with Dr. Hines was so great. She listened actively to my history and gave me what all women hope for in those conversations - the “this is a valid concern and you’re not alone” chat. And to top it off, I’ve been going to Wellest for just a few months and have already seen some incredible progress!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Kristin and her expertise, comprehensive treatment plan, and willingness to treat my subsequent pains to my tailbone injury truly make her the best. I can’t recommend Wellest and Kristin Kennedy enough. You’re getting the best of the best with this team!

Fantastic experience: Wellest Health has been the backbone of my care for many years now. The providers at Wellest are some of the most kind, dedicated, and innovative people I have met. As a patient, being listened to and being a part of your own care is hard to find. At Wellest, every symptom or struggle that I am having is heard, taken into consideration, and addressed. Kristin, Melissa, and Kathy have worked so hard to help me throughout my pelvic floor and hyper-mobility journey. Simply the best pelvic health care there is in the Boston area!!! I can't recommend them enough to anyone who is having any pelvic floor issues!

Fantastic experience: Melissa and her team of PTs are THE best of the best! Super talented, knowledgeable, and effective.

Fantastic experience: I work out a lot and like to take care of my body. That being said I have issues with my feet and knees every few months. Wellest is the place to go! Everyone is very professional helpful and they try their best to fit you in although they have a packed schedule!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Kristin Kennedy here for several months, and she has been incredibly helpful. I have hEDS (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and some comorbidities, and she has really helped me identify weaknesses to work on in my body, calm my nervous system, and just generally feel better. She's amazing at listening to what's going on, really takes a holistic view, and uses tons of different modalities. Her treatments feel really tailored, and she has a very calming presence. Highly recommend her to anyone with hypermobility struggles (and really anyone needing PT!) She's amazing.

Fantastic experience: I had always been hesitant to start PFPT and now my only regret is having not started it sooner. Wellest Integrative Health creates a safe and welcoming environment. My PT is Kristin and it’s amazing to work with someone compassionate and understanding of your symptoms. She also connected me with a nutritionist that was in network which was a fantastic added bonus. With the combination PFPT and help from my nutritionist, I feel like I have a shot of gaining back control over my life that my symptoms had taken from me. I had a laparoscopic surgery to remove endometriosis and it left me in even more pain. But with Kristin’s manual work and take home exercises, I’m definitely feeling better!

Fantastic experience: Melissa and the team at Wellest Health are the most knowledgeable and caring PTs in pelvic floor work in MA. They really care about what they do and the people who come in to see them. Whether it is pelvic pain, pregnancy, post parpartum rehab they provide the best care and empower/educated the patients to take back their own healing journey and find relief.

Fantastic experience: I am an online pre and postnatal fitness and nutrition coach, so I am very involved with lots of pelvic floor PTs in the Boston and NYC area. I started working with Melissa after my first c-section 4 years ago, and worked with her and Kristin during my last pregnancy and c-section this past year. I highly recommend wellest as well as Kristin and Melissa!!

Fantastic experience: Five stars aren't enough for the team at Wellest. After 10 years of pelvic pain with little understanding/intervention from GYN providers, I found Wellest and it truly changed my life. As a patient, the clinicians made me feel comfortable talking about the "taboo" topic of pelvic pain. They guided me with empathy, patience, humor, and humanity in a way that can be hard to find in medical providers. The team provided education in language I could understand so that I could advocate for myself at GYN appointments. They assisted me to determine the root causes of my pain and offered real-life strategies to mitigate, manage, and eventually eliminate my symptoms. As a mental health counselor, I appreciate that Wellest clinicians recognize that pain is complex and requires holistic treatment of the whole person, not just a single symptom. I have referred family, friends, and clients to Wellest with confidence that they will be treated with respect and dignity. If you are hesitant to make a pelvic floor PT appointment because talking about your pelvic pain is too embarrassing, scary, or overwhelming, call Wellest today; they will listen to your story, believe your experience, and collaborate with you to improve your wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: I have worked closely with the whole incredible team at Wellest. As an acupuncturist, I regularly refer patients struggling with pelvic pain, endometriosis, urinary dysfunction, and EDS as well as issues related to pregnancy and post-partum. All the practitioners have an incredible ability to put patients at ease while giving them the tools to greatly improve their wellbeing. They take the time to understand the underlying issues that are causing difficulty, and they care deeply about the people they work with. I have personally worked with Kristin who helped me with a variety of musculo-skeletal issues, also teaching me how to manage some long standing scar tissue that was creating pain. She helped get me back into my regular exercise routine! More people (men and women) should know about all of the benefits of treating the pelvic floor, and Wellest is just the best!

Fantastic experience: If I could give Wellest 6-Stars...I WOULD! Wellest Integrative Health and their services should be offered to all mothers pre and postpartum. Is it normal to cross your legs each time you sneeze? Should I accept the saying "I'm laughing so hard I think I peed my pants"? The simple answer is NO. Melissa is such an amazing educator. I talked to her about all these misconceptions about women's pelvic health after having children. She made me feel less "uncomfortable" about it and more accepting of the fact that I was not alone! I would 1000% recommend Melissa and her team. They have such amazing bedside manners and made a once "awkward" conversation now one that I'm happy to share with any women that will listen!!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Kennedy was fabulous to work with at Wellest. She and the team helped me work through a torn hip labrum and L5/S1 disk degeneration. Kristin is deeply knowledgeable, excellent with analysis, bodywork, as well as exercise plans and modifications. I could do very little when I began and she had me very strong and stable in short order. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The entire team at Wellest has been incredible! I worked closely with Kristin who supported me through pre and post surgery for endometriosis. The team goes above and beyond when it comes to answering questions and supporting every aspect of your health - not just the physical! I highly recommend Wellest Integrative Health for your health needs.

Fantastic experience: Wellest Health are the best PT and pelvic health providers in Boston! As a Functional Nutritionist, I work with a lot of clients dealing with digestive irregularity, like constipation and hormonal imbalances contributing to painful periods/pelvic pain and inflammation. I often recommend clients work with pelvic health specialists at Wellest to make sure they get well-rounded, comprehensive care, from talented, thoughtful providers.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my experience at Wellest and with Kristin. She is incredibly welcoming, professional and knowledgable. I worked with her for postpartum care, and she immediately put me at ease. Each session she made me feel comfortable and always made sure to check in at the beginning of each session to understand how I felt that day. I would definitely work with her in the future and cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I have seen Melissa, Kathy and Kristin during the postpartum period after 3 births. I cannot recommend them enough. Everyone on their staff is professional, relatable and takes excellent care of their patients. I always felt like I gained a personalized program, increased the knowledge of my body and its recovery back to fitness and sports. Their space is warm and welcoming and they clearly love what they do and it translates to the way they take care of their patients.

Fantastic experience: As a postpartum doula I refer clients to pelvic floor therapists often. I appreciate their extensive knowledge and approach to woman’s health. My first “go-to” PT is always Melissa at Wellest Health. What I’m am certain of for my clients when I refer them to Wellest… clients will get the very best care, excellent education, the most compassionate and respectful PT and the calm peaceful environment in the office is unmatched by others. Visiting a pelvic floor therapist for many of my clients is a new idea, a new concept and often can be met with some hesitation. I encourage them gently to reach out to Melissa and always I hear back from my clients who are relieved and hopeful that the treatment they receive will benefit them in ways they were unaware of. It’s always so rewarding for me to hear the feedback. If you are looking for a pelvic floor therapist, look no further!!! Call Melissa at Wellest Health.

Fantastic experience: The PTs at Wellest are informative, caring, and supportive! They helped me feel better prepared for labor and birth and also provided recommendations and exercises for foot and low back pain I was experiencing. I've seen both Kathy and Kristin for prenatal PT before the births of my second and third child, and highly recommend seeing them for treatment and education before and after giving birth. Pelvic floor therapy should be part of every woman's pre and post natal care, and I am grateful to have found the team at Wellest!

Fantastic experience: You're in great hands at Wellest Health! As a physical therapist myself, who specializes in the exercise and return to run piece of pregnancy and postpartum, I'm very selective about the providers I work with myself. Especially when it comes to pelvic floor, this is even more personal. I have trusted them for a while when referring patients for pelvic floor care and trusted them with my own postpartum care after having my son. I worked with Kristin and she made me feel very comfortable and gave me lots of helpful guidance which I wasn't aware of in the early stages postpartum. Melissa, Kathy and the whole team are also phenomenal providers and their space is warm and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Melissa and her team at Wellest Integrative Health. I've had the privilege of knowing Melissa for over 10 years and had the chance to work with Kristen after my c-section. Although I know much about the body and movement, Kristin's care, expertise, body work, and attention to detail helped alleviate pain I had around my scar tremendously. I'm confident in referring my clients to Wellest because I know they will receive the best care in Boston!

Fantastic experience: Melissa and the entire team at Wellest Integrative health are truly life changing. First off, their office is in a gorgeous historical building, and the decor is serene and beautiful. I visited them post surgery with pelvic pain that I was beginning to think was forever. They were so kind, so thorough, and so reassuring to me that I WOULD get better and my quality of life would improve. I had a wide variety of treatments with various lovely providers in the practice, and I am happy to say my pain has all but resolved at this point. Any person who is pregnant, postpartum, post pelvic surgery, or dealing with pelvic pain should do yourself a favor and get an appointment with Melissa and her team at Wellest!

Fantastic experience: Wellest Health saved me. As a sports chiropractor, I’m very particular about the providers I see personally, and those whom I refer my patients to. I received expert level care from Melissa Hines after my c-section in 2018 and after a VBAC delivery in 2022. She was instrumental in my post-partum recovery. She is knowledgeable, extremely skilled, and listens to her patients concerns and questions. Any patient whom I have sent to Wellest Health for pelvic floor physical therapy have always reported back with positive experiences! The space is relaxing and inviting, beautifully decorated and makes you feel comfortable. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I came to see Kristin with a lot of pain, weakness, and dysfunction and have made so much progress with her guidance. Kristin is a fountain of knowledge & resources when it comes to pelvic floor health and hypermobility spectrum disorders. I’ve been able to get back to many aspects of my life I was missing out on thanks to the physical therapy techniques I’m learning. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Kristen was so knowledgeable and supportive. I had previously gone to PT with someone who wasn’t a specialist and it was a night and day difference seeing Kristen. I was uncomfortable daily before seen Kristen. Thank you for getting me back to myself.

Fantastic experience: I would HIGHLY recommend Kathy Kates at Wellest Integrative Health. She is was extremely helpful in treating my symptoms. She not only provided the hands-on treatment but she was very helpful in reviewing the exercises that I needed. I have been a personal fitness trainer for over 28 years. I have worked closely with a lot of physical therapists to help my clients recover from injury. Kathy is one of the very best physical therapists I have worked with. She is caring, kind, and most of all, extremely knowledgeable and capable! I had been dealing with some issues for a year and within 4 sessions, my symptoms were drastically better!!! She is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Kristin is the most wonderful pt you could ever find! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease and taught me so much about the pelvic floor and pain during intercourse. I highly recommend this practice and Kristin in particular!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Wellest. I had been suffering with daily pain for four months which almost completely disappeared after just four sessions of working with Kristin. She will be the first person I call if I have any more pelvic health concerns. I am so grateful for her help and happy to be pain free! I cannot recommend Wellest enough.

Fantastic experience: Kathy Kates is a remarkable clinician. She diagnoses and treats through an iterative process that continues to evolve over many sessions. She is intuitive, evidence-based and is a wonderful listener. Kathy and the Wellest practitioners are also passionate educators for the womens health community, sharing their knowledge about how pelvic health can be diagnosed and treated. I can't say enough about Kathy, Wellest and the wonderful results that I've experienced. They are exceptional!

Fantastic experience: About a year ago, I was suffering through a host of seemingly unrelated physical and mental health issues that were severely impacting my quality of life. I saw a variety of doctors, each of whom offered a palliative treatment for the particular issue they were trained to diagnose. On a mission to connect the dots and actually fix underlying issues, I stumbled across pelvic floor dysfunction and noticed that it mirrored many of my symptoms. I was then fortunate enough to find Wellest. In my very first session I could tell that I was in the right place. Now, a year later, I've graduated from active treatment feeling stronger, healthier, and happier. Much of my discomfort and dysfunction feels like a thing of the past. I can't thank both Rachel and Kristin enough for their support, compassion, guidance, and expertise along the way. They've made a huge difference in my life, and I'll be forever grateful!

Fantastic experience: I really appreciated my experience with Wellest and received tremendous benefit from my care. Kristin was my PT and immediately made me feel so comfortable in my disheveled postpartum state. She took the time to get to know me, learn more about my birth story and concerns and I noticed significant improvements to my pelvic floor health from the very first visit. She is very skilled and smart and provided useful resources. Most importantly, Kristin made me feel at ease and very hopeful from the start—I gained confidence day by day and now, five visits later, I’ve *graduated* —I will absolutely go back in future for prenatal and postpartum care and would recommend Wellest to anyone! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Wellest Integrative Health for pelvic floor PT. I went bi-weekly during my pregnancy and returned at 6 wks PP for several visits. Kathy Kates, NP has helped me so much! She’s addressed my hypertonicity, taught me breathing techniques (both for labor & daily life), and shown me how slight alterations in simple every day moves can help stabilize my pelvic floor. To anyone considering pelvic floor PT for any number of issues- or even just to have an assessment in pregnancy- look no further than Wellest! It’s the best investment in your self. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: About 30 weeks into my pregnancy, I was suffering from pelvic pain and was getting no relief from my chiropractor. My doula suggested Wellest Health and I was able to get a same-day virtual consultation with Dana. I was skeptical about virtual Occupational Therapy, but have not been disappointed! Dana has helped me manage my pain through our work together in our sessions as well as providing me with things to do by myself. I have been quite impressed with the practice - everything from the appointment availability/flexibility to the friendly staff to actually getting pain relief! Can't recommend Wellest Health enough!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kristin Kennedy was absolutely phenomenal in providing post-surgical education, support and direction in the healing process. Everyone deserves such a warm, caring, nonjudgmental, and smart guide! Not to mention, the entire Wellest Integrative Health space is beautifully calming.

Fantastic experience: Kristin has been the most amazing help on my endo journey! She makes me feel seen and heard every time I see her, She’s professional, personable and knowledgeable! I always leave there feeling so much better! If I could give her and Wellest 10 stars I would!!

Fantastic experience: In addition to helping me recover from my condition, from the first moment, they made me feel so at ease in a situation that could be very uncomfortable. I came to actually look forward to my appointments. My experience at Wellest was truly life changing, and I can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I had several appointments with Dana regarding my acid reflux / GERD symptoms. The gastric manipulation treatments were very comfortable and also very effective. Dana also showed me some exercise and breathing techniques that I could use at home to help my issues. I would highly recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: Melissa was great! She made me feel so comfortable and really took the time to help me learn about my body. You're definitely under phenomenal care working with Melissa.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Kristin Stetzel highly enough! She addressed a number of different issues from pelvic floor to lower back. She was thorough and patient and helped get me strong again.

Fantastic experience: Pelvic therapy in the hands of Kathy Kates changed my life! I had a surgical menopause in my 30's and struggled with pain and other issues for decades as MDs told me it was just something I just needed to live with. When I finally received a referral to Wellest a miracle occurred. Every woman should have knowledge and access to this treatment. Kathy, in particular, is a true healer!

Fantastic experience: After two c-sections, I knew I needed help with scar massage, healing my diastasis recti, and rehabbing my core. I saw Kristin and am SO glad I did. Kristin was incredibly smart, kind, and helpful. She knows SO much (especially about c-section recovery!), and I am so much stronger after working with her for three months. Even though I didn't work with the other folks in the office, everybody was incredibly kind and friendly. The space is beautiful and it's close to the T (and has easy street parking!). They were very accommodating when I brought my newborn in with me at first. I absolutely will be back if I have any other pelvic floor issues in the future!

Fantastic experience: Kristin Stetzel was amazing! She made me feel super comfortable, and she gave me great tips to do on my own. I was able to see improvements really quickly. I can't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Kristin was great to work with and really took the time to help me learn to engage the correct muscles to gain back more functional strength. I've had unresolved disastis recti since my youngest was born 3 years ago and after working with Kristin it is now so much better.

Fantastic experience: Wellest has helped me tremendously with pelvic floor tightness. Definitely helped with my bladder issues and lower gut issues. Kristin Stetzel is a patient listener and curious about what can be causing issues. One of the few practitioners I've been to who is actually interested in getting to the root cause of the problem, instead of making assumptions and not deviating from them. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Kristin from Wellest is an amazing pelvic floor therapist. I was feeling very low around 4-5 weeks post partum. I was in pain. It hurt to sit and move and it felt like no one was listening to me or taking my concerns seriously (from my OB). I went as far as to diagnose myself with a prolapsed bladder. I started going to Kristin around 5 weeks Post partum. She heard and validated all my concerns. Reassured me that everything was okay and worked with me to build up my core and pelvic floor. I finished my treatment around 20 weeks post partum and I feel very strong and back to normal. At the beginning, I couldn’t even sit up by myself. Kristin is also so friendly and personable that I couldn’t wait for my appointments. Going there was literally the highlight of my week. It was worth every penny going there and feeling in control. I’m not sure how well I would have been able to cope with the wait and see approach that my OB wanted to take. I am so grateful for Kristin and her services!

Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky I was referred to Melissa. After having my first baby, I had NO clue about a pelvic floor therapist, or that every post partum woman should see one. After having pain near my belly button and being diagnosed with a hernia AND diastatis recti,, and being told by multiple doctors that surgery was the only answer, I had minor surgery to repair the hernia. Well, the pain returned almost immediately after the surgery and I went searching for other solutions. Enter Melissa. She listened, asked questions, and was determined to find a solution that would help me return to an active lifestyle, pain free. Fast forward 8 sessions of seeing Melissa and putting in the work, and I went from being in pain just lifting my infant, to being able to ease back into my normal workout routine... WITHOUT surgery. Of course I returned to see Melissa when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby, and I also had no idea how impactful it would be to see her before having baby. She helped me gain the ability to relax my pelvic floor and truly prepare me for labor and delivery. 100% recommend her if you are having or have recently had a baby.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't say enough great things about Kathy and the Wellest team. I saw Kathy nearly weekly for pelvic floor PT starting in the second trimester of my recent pregnancy. In addition to our in person sessions, Kathy provided simple exercises I could perform at home - being very mindful to ensure I could work them into my lifestyle. Within the first two weeks of seeing her I started noticing relief from pelvic and hip pain. I attribute a smooth third trimester and labor/delivery to my work with Kathy (and Kristin while Kathy was out for a few weeks, who is also amazing!!) and highly recommend this practice to every pregnant/postpartum person I know. I also submitted the superbills to my insurance and was reimbursed as the service was considered covered out of network.

Fantastic experience: Kristin has been incredible to work with. She is kind, empathetic, passionate and listens. I have had such a wonderful experience working with Kristin over the past 6 months and have had such a relief and turn around with my symptoms. I highly recommend seeing Kristin at Wellest Health!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for Wellest! I have been working with Kathy for many months now, and she is the best PT I have ever worked with. In our first session, she immediately made me feel calm and cared for. Her wealth of knowledge is truly impressive (I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the fact that I often have my toddler with me, and she is always very accommodating of her). We have met and surpassed my initial goals for PT. Lastly, the space at Wellest is inviting, calming and impeccably clean. I cannot recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: I met Kathy Kates in 2017. Working with her has forever changed my pelvic floor health, body awareness, and general wellness for the best. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, a super capable problem solver, and connects with empathy to allow her to meet you where you’re at. She’s hands down one of the best health providers I’ve ever worked with.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Wellest and Kathy Kates. I am a fairly young, healthy, active person and injured my SI joint in 2018. I went to multiple chiropractors and PTs to help heal the injury and no one was able to help me improve. After my first appointment with Kathy I knew she was different and would get me results. Kathy is incredibly smart and caring. She takes time to understand her patients and set up a care routine that will ACUTALLY WORK. She set up an individualized routine for me and along the way explained why each part was important and how each part would be helping me heal. I learned so much about how my pelvic floor muscles and breathing are connected to my injury and saw amazing results. I was even a bit sad to have my final appointment with her because I really loved working with her and learning from her. I cannot recommend Wellest and Kathy Kates enough! Do yourself a favor and work with Wellest.

Fantastic experience: Kathy Kates and the team at Wellest were so warm and professional. I felt very comfortable and safe in their beautiful, clean office space. Kathy is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and taught me so much useful information about my body. I felt I made significant progress under her care. Her communication skills both during appointments and before/after by email were detailed and helpful. I can't recommend Kathy/Wellest highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Melissa and her team are absolutely incredible. I have seen Melissa (and more recently Kathy and Kristin) over the past 5 years - throughout postpartum, pregnancy, 2nd time postpartum and more recently, various shoulder/hip issues that have come up. Melissa and everyone in her practice is so welcoming, kind and patient, and also, truly knowledgable in all aspects of the body. I would normally think of them when I needed help with pelvic floor issues but their knowledge is so vast (and have taught me everything is related) so I sought them out more recently for some pretty awful shoulder and back pain. Within a few sessions, I woke up with no pain, for the first time in months. Melissa is a true miracle worker and I will be a client of Wellest for a very long time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I thought I would post the thank you email I am sending Kathy after our last day of treatment as my review: Kathy, Thank you so much for all your help with my pelvic floor. I didn't know what to expect when my doula suggested I proactively see you before the birth of my son, but working with you has wildly exceeded my expectations. Rather than appointments I expected to dread or feel neutral about (who wants a pelvic exam?!), I actually looked forward to our appointments and feeling more relaxed, knowledgeable, and on the right path after each one. I appreciated that you accommodated working with me virtually during those early and scary days of COVID-19 until I was comfortable coming in-person and expanding on what we could do virtually. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, responsiveness, comprehensiveness, accessibility, passion for your work, and also your positive reinforcement. Now I understand why women in Europe routinely see a pelvic floor PT after they give birth. But I can't imagine most people are lucky enough to work with such a talented PT as you. I look forward to coming back to you if/when I'm able to get pregnant again. Thanks again for the amazing work you do and for all your help and guidance! Sara

Fantastic experience: I have been to Wellest on multiple occasions for various services, but most recently Melissa and the team there helped me recover from c-section surgery. I am already back to fully working out with no diastasis recti after following their recommended abdomen strengthening program. I also have no scar pain after receiving therapeutic treatment to break down scar tissue. The combination of at-home work, plus in office therapeutic treatment services really sped up my recovery and I couldn't be more grateful for their guidance and support! I highly recommend their team for anything pelvic floor and pre/post partum therapeutic treatment!

Fantastic experience: I was referred by my OB/GYN to Wellest Integrative Health after living with pelvic pain and dysfunction that was impacting my quality of life in multiple areas. Kristin Stetzel has helped me immensely. Kristin is very mindful and caring in treatment of what can be a sensitive and challenging issue. She is a knowledgeable and empowering teacher as well. I have made major improvements in functionality and only wish I had begun PT years ago! I highly recommend Wellest and Kristin.
