About these Clinics/Practices

This is a private, integrative clinic focused on providing specialized and individualized care for complex conditions. I treat in person in Boerne, TX (just outside San Antonio) and provide virtual wellness, coaching and doula services around the world. I have a limited amount of openings in Austin for in-person treatment as well. My primary specialty is treatment for those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, POTS, Dysautonomia, and/or MCAS. I myself have hEDS and POTS, and have spent many years studying the physiology, symptoms, and various treatment approaches to managing this condition. I have now regained 95% of my function and am passionate about empowering patients to do the same. After years of working with my fellow zebras, I have developed a unique approach that is approachable and mutlifaceted, addressing the mind, body and nervous system from various angles at once so that we can truly get to the ‘root’ of each person’s issues, and from there build a strong foundation and grow.

I use a blend of vagus and nervous system retraining, vestibular/balanace rehab, visceral (organ) mobilization, craniosacral therapy, myofascial therapy, pelvic floor therapy, scar tissue release, and diet/lifestyle modification education. I often provide patients with gradual and progresive video home exercises they can safely do at home, focusing first on the nervous system and alignment before any strengthening to prevent the flare ups common with EDS and PT. If virtual, I can provide much of this education and exercise coaching online, and can teach you and/or loved ones how to do self releases of your muscles and organs at home. I am also passionate about helping problem solve with my virtual patients, working with them to find a team of well-trained local doctors, medical massage therapists, or other practitioners that can provide many of the specialized techniques I can, while I help guide the general direction of care. All sessions are one-on-one, and I am cash-based/ out of network with all insurances, however I can provide superbills for reimbursement to those in Texas. Sessions vary in length from 15 -120 minute depending on what the patient needs, and I also offer all-day intensive therapy options for my out of town patients who want to fly in for some hands-on work, as long as it is scheduled 1-2 months in advance.

‘Bend but not break’ is my personal motto – The strongest trees in the world can bend like crazy in a storm without snapping, it’s a superpower, but only if they have a deep and strong root system. We are bendy, we get thrown off easily by the external environment, yes – but that also means that with the right tool box and foundation, we can adapt and get back to thriving quicker than most. It often means we are highly empathetic, amazing friends and leaders, and pioneers in the health and wellness field because of how much we notice that which others block out. Its a double-edged sword and a huge burden, but I want to help others carry it so we can find the blessings in it as well.
