Pelvic and Sexual Pain Is Real. And It’s More Than Physical

It’s not just discomfort it’s the way your body flinches before anything even begins.The way you hold your breath, tense without meaning to, or check out completely. It’s how something that’s supposed to be intimate, playful, and pleasurable starts to feel like a performance.

If you’re here, you might be:

Meet Dr. Hope

Hi, I’m Dr. Hope L. Hayes, DPT, EdM a pelvic floor and sexual wellness specialist with advanced training in pelvic and sexual rehabilitation. I support women who are ready to feel at home in their body again, especially when intimacy has become painful, stressful, or confusing.

Before earning my doctorate, I worked as a technology architect. That experience taught me how to see patterns, uncover what’s being missed, and build real solutions, not quick fixes. I bring that same root-cause mindset into pelvic and sexual wellness, because surface-level solutions don’t work if no one’s asking why the pain or dysfunction is happening in the first place.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you’re still experiencing painful intimacy, pelvic pain, or chronic tension, I’m here to help you make sense of it. Together, we take a whole-body approach that honors your nervous system, your story, and what feels safe for you, so you can reconnect with your body and intimacy again.

My work focuses on:

Life-changing clarity... After one session with Dr. Hope, I gained more clarity than years of appointments elsewhere. I finally understand what’s happening in my body."

Linda, 52
