My autism recognizes patterns. When you tell me you have jaw pain, I see it immediately. Your knees are locked. You wear glasses. You have thin lips. I know where this conversation is going.
I healed my own jaw at 37 through myofunctional therapy. By 46, I was seeing these clusters everywhere in our patient population. Allergies. Vision issues. Joint instability. Facial features. They all pointed to hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome—and suddenly my whole life made sense. My growing pains, severe allergies, stress fractures in the military, neurodivergence, chronic pain. Everything.
On average, zebras like me wait 20 years for diagnosis. I won't let that happen to you. We screen every patient for hypermobility and refer you to the right providers because the whole person matters, not just the jaw.
I don't want you going through years without answers, support, or direction. My goal is to help as many women find clarity, feel better, and become who they're meant to be.
