Kristen Parise has dedicated over 25 years to transforming pelvic health care through evidence-based treatment and fearless conversation. With graduate degrees in Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy from McMaster University, she founded Blueberry Therapy in 2017—a multidisciplinary clinic in Dundas, Ontario, that has grown from a small practice to a thriving hub serving families throughout the Golden Horseshoe.
Recognized with the 2020 YWCA Women of Distinction Award for Small Business, Kristen specializes in treating bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction for people of all ages. Her approach combines clinical expertise with refreshing honesty about topics many find too awkward to discuss.
In 2024, Kristen launched The Hole Shebang Podcast, which has spent a full year breaking down taboos around pee, poop, pain, and sex. The podcast has reached thousands of listeners seeking real answers about pelvic health without the shame. Building on her mission to advance women’s sexual health conversations, Kristen created The Pleasure Principle Conference. After its successful debut in 2025, the expanded 2026 conference returns on May 8th at McMaster Innovation Park, bringing together healthcare professionals from around the globe to tackle the topics that matter most to women’s wellness.
Kristen continues teaching at McMaster University and remains committed to making pelvic health care accessible through Blueberry Therapy’s comprehensive services, online resources, and community education programs.
