About these Clinics/Practices

I am a personal trainer with hEDS and POTS (among other things). After completing a BA in Psychology and Coaching, I became certified as a personal trainer and then went on to complete multiple advanced certifications, including the fitness industry’s most respected certification, CSCS. I have an MS in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. Through my education, living with EDS myself, and spending years training clients with EDS and other chronic health struggles, I have developed unique programming and methods for helping those with EDS build stability, strength, and cardiovascular endurance. I launched online programs in 2023 designed to help those with severe limitations due to joint issues and dysautonomia; research consistently shows that exercise greatly improves quality of life for those with EDS, and I wanted to make getting started on an exercise program more accessible for those with EDS. In addition to offering online programs on zebraworkouts.com I train clients in-person at my gym, Intersect Fitness in Matthews NC. I also have number of clients who I train virtually through FaceTime or Zoom. Feel free to reach out over email with questions. It might take me a minute to get back with you (fellow zebra with limited spoons), but I will do my best 🙂
