Kathy Kates, FNP-BC (she/her/hers), is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and founder of Pelvic Health Support, a specialty practice for people with sexual, pelvic, and hormonal health concerns.

 

Kathy helps patients who have been told "everything looks normal" - but who still have pain - move from feeling ashamed, confused, and unheard about their symptoms, including sexual pain, pelvic pain, and low libido, to feeling proud, confident, educated, and empowered to flourish with their sexual, pelvic, and hormonal health. Her approach connects the dots: pain with sex, pelvic or vulvar pain, and hormone changes are usually treated separately, but she treats them together - muscle, tissue, and hormones - and every patient leaves the first visit with a clear, step-by-step plan. No guessing.

​

After her own breast cancer treatment, Kathy experienced firsthand how these symptoms get dismissed in survivorship care - and built her practice around changing that. Before Pelvic Health Support, she spent over a decade founding and leading a pelvic health program at a community health center.
