We had the good fortune of connecting with Kate Weed and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kate, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
At Internal Locus Pelvic Health PT, I help people come home to their bodies—especially those who’ve been dismissed, misunderstood, or straight-up ignored by traditional healthcare. I offer pelvic floor physical therapy to women, men, and nonbinary folks navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic pain, bladder or bowel issues, and struggles with intimacy.

This work is grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and zero shame—because healing happens faster when you feel safe, seen, and heard. I offer in-home visits for folks who need extra privacy or convenience, and I also see clients out of a women-and-nonbinary-only gym in Denver, where care feels accessible and affirming.

I’m helping build a world where people actually understand their bodies, feel in charge of their care, and know they’re not broken or alone. Whether someone is running without leaking, having pain-free sex for the first time in years, or finally being told, “What you’re experiencing makes sense”—that ripple effect goes far beyond the treatment room.

This isn’t just physical therapy—it’s community care.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets me apart? Honestly, I think it’s the way I show up – with zero shame, a lot of curiosity, and a deep belief that people deserve to feel at home in their bodies. I don’t just treat symptoms – I listen, I educate, and I partner with my clients to figure out what healing actually looks like for them. That means pelvic floor physical therapy that’s affirming, trauma-informed, and tailored to real life – not some one-size-fits-all protocol.

I’m most proud of the trust I’ve built with the people I work with. It’s no small thing for someone to come in and say, “Hey, sex hurts,” or “I can’t sneeze without leaking,” or “I feel broken.” And then to be met with understanding, real answers, and a plan that actually makes sense? That changes lives.

Getting here wasn’t easy. Starting a cash-based practice, especially in a niche like pelvic health, takes a ton of work – and more emotional energy than I expected. I’ve had to learn how to run a business while also being a clinician, which means wearing all the hats and making peace with things being messy sometimes. There were moments I wondered if I was doing the right thing, or if anyone would actually find me. But I stayed connected to my “why”: people deserve better care, and I know how to give it.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to not make perfect the enemy of the good. Waiting until everything is perfect has kept me stuck in the past. But taking one step forward, even if it’s not the most perfect step, is how I keep moving and how I keep from feeling like I need everything needs to be perfectly aligned before I take action. I’ve also learned that community matters. I wouldn’t be here without the support of other badass providers, mentors, friends, and clients who believed in me.

What do I want people to know about me and my brand? That Internal Locus Pelvic Health exists because I believe in people’s ability to heal – especially when they’ve been told they’re “fine” or “it’s just anxiety” or “that’s normal after birth.” I’m here to say: you’re not broken, you’re not alone, and you can feel better.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, my partner also owns a small business (Weedhart Pies up in Lafayette!) so I’d probably drag my besties to the new Lafayette Farmer’s Market on the weekend for breakfast. In the afternoon, we’d head over to a museum (my favorites are the Science Museum or the Art Museum). Then we’d probably go hang at a favorite brewery for a bit (Cohesion or Cerebral come to mind), maybe catch a show at Mission Ballroom or even Red Rocks. I’m an outdoorsy person (I know, super original for Denver), so we’d probably spend a few days in the mountains camping, hiking, or toodling around on paddleboards.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Big shoutout to the queer community and the radical pelvic health providers who’ve been out here doing the work before me—fighting for affirming care, rewriting what healing can look like, and making space for bodies that don’t fit the textbook. I wouldn’t be here without that lineage.

And also, for my patients – for every single person who’s walked into an appointment nervous, vulnerable, or carrying years of being brushed off, and still chose to trust me. You remind me every day why this work matters. You show up for yourselves, and that inspires me to show up better too.
