In 8 years of university I saw one slide on EDS. Not good enough.

How did I learn how to work with these conditions? I was curious to learn more.

I researched cases, studied papers, read books, listened to podcasts, tapped into all my knowledge on biomechanics and strength training to develop a unique approach to understanding the hypermobile body.

Now, I teach what I have learned to help more practitioners, to help MORE people living with these poorly understood conditions.

My next courses are coming up in August, the posts are pinned to my profile. If you’re curious to learn more, I’ll see you there 🫶🏽

True Story: These were quotes I literally heard from my patients yesterday.

I returned to work after an awesome week at the POTS conference in Adelaide feeling inspired and motivated to bring back the knowledge I had acquired. I was so disheartened to hear these words from my patients about their experiences within the medical system.

Hypermobility just means your flexible

MCAS and POTS are just “trends”

It’s all in your head.

The research is here, the advocacy is loud and there are practitioners out here looking to connect the dots between hEDS/HSD, POTS, MCAS and many other conditions with shared symptoms. You don’t need to know everything about these conditions, but you sure as heck can listen and show some curiosity to learn more about them.

Medical Gaslighting, I’ve had enough of it. Let’s do better.

May is EDS & HSD Awareness Month 🦓

This is now the 5th year I’ve shared content to help raise awareness around hypermobility, hEDS and HSD.

We’ve absolutely come a long way in our understanding of connective tissue disorders, but there is still a long way to go.

These slides highlight just a few of the things I wish more practitioners understood, based on years of seeing hypermobile people present after feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or unsupported within healthcare and rehab settings.

Awareness matters because it can:
✅ reduce diagnostic delay
✅ improve long-term health outcomes
✅ lead to more appropriate rehab
✅ improve patient experiences within healthcare
✅ help people better understand what’s happening in their own bodies

The goal isn’t to create fear around hypermobility.
It’s to create better recognition, better conversations, and better care.
