If you’ve ever worked with HerPath OT & Wellness, I would be so grateful if you took a few minutes to leave a review!

As a small, locally owned business, your support truly makes a difference. Reviews help build trust with women who may be searching for pelvic health therapy, fertility support, or women’s wellness services but aren’t sure where to start.

Google also considers reviews as part of how it ranks local businesses in search results, which means your feedback can help more women in our community find the care they deserve.

Whether you’re a current or past client, sharing a few words about your experience is one of the most meaningful ways you can support HerPath and help other women find the support they’ve been looking for.

Thank you for trusting me with your care, supporting this small business, and helping HerPath grow. It means more than you know!

ENDO-205 is generating a lot of excitement in the endometriosis community—and there is a legitimate scientific reason to be interested.

It is an investigational, non-hormonal peptide being developed to target signaling pathways involved in endometriosis, including the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

In preclinical research, researchers created endometriosis-like lesions in mice by transplanting uterine tissue into the abdominal cavity. After the lesions developed, they treated the animals with a β-catenin-targeting peptide.

The reported findings included regression of the lesions and changes in β-catenin signaling. The researchers also reported that the animals maintained normal estrous cycling.

But here’s the part I really want you to remember:

These were NOT human clinical trials.

The lesions were experimentally created in mice. We don’t yet know whether the same results will occur in women with endometriosis.

We don’t yet know whether ENDO-205 will reduce pain, improve fertility, eliminate human lesions, prevent recurrence, or replace surgery or hormonal treatment.

What we do know is that the FDA cleared the drug’s IND application in March 2026, allowing it to move into human clinical testing.

That’s a major milestone—but FDA clearance to begin testing is not FDA approval, and it does not mean the treatment has been proven effective.

In Part 3, I’ll talk about what this could mean for women with endometriosis and what we still need to learn.

Endometriosis is so much more than “tissue growing where it shouldn’t.”

It is a chronic, inflammatory disease involving tissue similar to the endometrium growing outside of the uterus. These lesions can interact with hormones, inflammation, the immune system, nerves, and surrounding tissues—and can contribute to pain, adhesions, fibrosis, bowel and bladder symptoms, painful s*x, and infertility.

And one of the most important things to understand?

The amount of disease does not always correlate with the amount of pain.

Someone with relatively limited visible disease can experience debilitating symptoms, while someone with extensive disease may have few symptoms.

Current treatment can include hormonal suppression, surgery, and pain management—but we still need treatments that more directly target the underlying disease.

That’s why emerging treatments like ENDO-205 are worth paying attention to.

In Part 2, I’ll break down what ENDO-205 actually is, what the early research has shown, and the very important limitations of that research.

Save this series if you want to understand the science without the hype.

My heart is heavy reading recent headlines, though stories like these are not unfamiliar to me. I specialize in complex pelvic pain as a pelvic health OT and this is a reality I see every day. Every. Single. Day. So while this statistic is startling, I’d bet the true number is much higher. Granted I work with a very select part of the population, it doesn’t make any of this easier to digest.
Working in pelvic health I often see the aftermath of these headlines and similar cases. So when I read conversations of ruined lives and missed potentials it is almost always about the perpetrator and rarely about the survivor. So what does like after look like? For many it goes unnoticed and not talked about but there are physical, emotional, and mental changes left in the wake of these events. This is where my work truly is life changing. Some women are open about what has happened to them, others don’t disclose their history until much later in our time together. I have learned that no two survivors will present the same, some walk in very confident and you would never know what they have endured, others are anxious and closed off—nervous about what pelvic health therapy is and can entail.
I have heard countless stories about fathers, friends, husbands, boyfriends and strangers committing the unimaginable and rarely with consequence. It is one reason trauma-informed care is so important and again, often not recognized or talked about.
I hope the publicity of this case will allow other survivors to continue to speak up and seek justice, I hope that we as a community keep this conversation going long after the headlines fade and we all settle back into our routines, because those living in the aftermath continue to press on and continue to rebuild. I hope those of us in the medical community continue to be a resource and seek training that supports trauma-informed care. I hope that we all can treat each other better and that we recognize being a good person and doing good as a person require us to look beyond ourselves and often doing no harm and stopping harm from happening are two different things entirely.

I know that being an out-of-network provider can feel like a barrier, and I completely understand that cost and insurance coverage are important considerations when choosing a healthcare provider.

But there is another side to the conversation that I think is important to share.

Being out of network allows me to create a different kind of pelvic health experience.

I don’t have to wait for your symptoms to become severe enough to justify care. I don’t have to prove your need for treatment to an insurance company. I don’t have to make your care fit into a predetermined number of visits or a diagnosis code.

Instead, I can spend time listening to your story, understanding the bigger picture, educating you about your body, and creating a plan around your goals.

It also allows me to incorporate the different areas of women’s health that are important to my practice, including pelvic health, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum care, nutrition, movement, and nervous system regulation.

And perhaps most importantly, it allows me to provide truly individualized 1:1 care.

I know that choosing private-pay care is an investment. My goal is to make that investment as transparent and worthwhile as possible.

I provide clear pricing upfront and can provide a superbill upon request for patients who want to pursue potential out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance.

Out-of-network care isn’t the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay.

But for me, it is what allows me to practice pelvic health care in a way that feels thorough, personal, and centered around the person sitting in front of me.

Meet your pelvic health therapist

I’m Dr. Kelsie Kavadas, OTD, OTR/L, PRPC, PRFS and the owner of HerPath Occupational Therapy & Wellness.

You might be wondering what makes a pelvic health therapist different from a traditional occupational therapist or what all those letters and certifications actually mean. So I wanted to introduce you to the training and education behind the care I provide.

My training includes:
• Doctorate in Occupational Therapy
• Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC)
• Advanced training in pelvic health and complex pelvic pain
• Pelvic rehabilitation fertility specialist (PRFS)
• Certified Perinatal Nutrition Expert
• Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist
• Certified Babywearing Educator
• 200-hour registered yoga teacher

I’m passionate about looking at the whole person—not just the pelvic floor.

Your symptoms can be influenced by movement, breathing, nervous system regulation, digestion, nutrition, hormones, pregnancy and postpartum changes, stress, daily routines, and so much more.

My goal is to combine evidence-informed pelvic rehabilitation with an occupational therapy perspective to help you understand your body, address the things that are impacting your quality of life, and get back to the activities that matter to you.

Whether you’re dealing with pelvic pain, bladder or bowel concerns, painful s*x, pregnancy or postpartum changes, fertility-related pelvic health concerns, or another pelvic health issue, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
