Rolfing Resilience
Within the scope of Structural Integration, my therapeutic approach is to do no harm and consider the individual needs of my clients. I use gentle manipulation methods to avoid overstretching and to allow for calm nervous system response. When working with clients who have EDS, we focus more on fascial toning and proprioceptive re-education with a focus on stability, not mobility. Certified Rolfers are known for the Rolfing 10 Series®, a progressive, cumulative approach to addressing the entirety of the body’s fascial system. I recommend a single session to start, and together we can decide on an appropriate course of treatment.

Rolfing Resilience
I have been Rolfing for 10 years, currently working towards my Advanced certification. I have had many clients with EDS who have benefitted from my work and recommended I join this site. Rolfing is the pioneering work with fascia, which is more of a philosophy than an exact method or protocol. Understanding that fascia is what holds the body together and must be worked with as a whole system, I apply deep tissue bodywork, as well as movement and awareness exercises to address chronic pain, with an emphasis on holding compassionate space for my clients to gain more understanding of their bodies. Often this can include assignments to be completed between sessions such as strengthening or awareness exercises. In my practice, I find the few super tight places that are doing all the work of holding you together, and work to distribute that strain across more of your musculature by waking up dormant muscles, so that your system has more ease and sustainability. I have been teaching meditation for 15 years, so this can be a resource in sessions as well. I also practice Sourcepoint energy work, which is great for those with more severe EDS who need a lighter touch.

Welcome to Gravity, LLC
My specialty is the Rolf Method of Structural Integration, which I have advanced training in and have been practicing since 2002. Structural Integration is a hands-on soft tissue (myofascial focused) method designed to bring more order into the human structure over a series of 10-sessions. The goal is a more organized, orderly structure in a supportive relationship with gravity. Throughout the series, the whole structure is addressed in a systematic and wholesome way. The client will by guided learn what “home” feels like in their particular body. Body awareness is increased, as often is balance, coordination and stability. I have worked with a number of EDS clients over the years, and they have found SI work to be effective at significantly reducing chronic pain and discomfort, as well as stabilizing joints that had a tendency to displace easily. My understanding of why this last part happens is that when a joint is properly placed, it has to move further to be displaced, whereas when a joint is misplaced or unstable to begin with, it takes less to displace it. Developing overall body awareness and improving proprioception serve to catch the body from moving out of alignment sooner than later, and as a means to reinforce the newer, more orderly pattern. For further reading about this method I would recommend Dr. Rolf’s book “Rolfing”, published in 1979.

Soul Journey
At Soul Journey, our story is one of connection, healing, and transformation, inspired by the lives and philosophies of Pepper and Steve Wooten. This journey began with a shared vision: to create a sanctuary where individuals could reconnect with their true selves and cultivate a sense of wellness, peace, and purpose. Pepper, with her deep passion for holistic wellness, has always believed in the power of nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Her journey in the wellness space started as a quest for personal health, spiritual growth, and self-discovery, leading her to explore various modalities—from Shamanic energy healing and mindfulness practices to somatic therapy and nervous system regulation. This exploration not only transformed her life but also ignited a desire to help others embark on their own paths of healing. Pepper has accomplished this goal through her work as a personal coach, Shamanic healer, teacher, speaker, and retreat coordinator, empowering individuals to embrace their authentic selves and step into lives filled with clarity, balance, and intention. Steve is a dedicated wellness professional with years of experience in massage therapy and a deep passion for helping clients achieve balance, relaxation, and renewal. Inspired by holistic wellness principles and the transformative teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza and Ram Dass, Steve tailors each session to meet individual needs, blending intuitive techniques with focused therapeutic work. Whether relieving tension from a busy lifestyle or fostering a moment of peace, Steve’s grounded, mindful energy—rooted in a love for the beach, hiking, and connecting with nature—creates a space where clients feel at ease both physically and emotionally. Committed to helping others prioritize self-care, Steve strives to deliver deeply restorative experiences that leave clients feeling truly transformed. Together, Pepper and Steve founded Soul Journey in Melbourne, FL, as a space where people can gather to share their stories, learn from one another, and experience transformative practices. Here, we offer a range of services, from energy clearings and massage therapy to tarot readings and nervous system regulation, all designed to facilitate deep healing and self-discovery. At Soul Journey, we believe that every individual has a unique story worth sharing. Our mission is to create an environment where these stories can be honored, healing can occur, and connections can flourish. Join us as we continue this journey together, embracing the magic of self-exploration and the beauty of community.

I am a clinical massage therapist of 18 years with a background using assessments, brain-based movement therapy, kinesiotaping, and both toning and relaxing of specific muscles to bring alignment to the body, down-regulate the nervous system and leave clients feeling balanced at the end of each session. No two people are alike, so neither are my sessions, which are customized to client goals and desired outcomes. Clients should wear gym-type attire so we can work both on and off the table.

Over the 20 years of practicing massage therapy I have taken many different types of continuing education. I have been studying connective tissue. I began my research 20 years ago and found in Germany they had a documentary video explaining what connective tissue actually is. I have continued studying outside the US and through the Fascia Congress that connects the research being done around the world. I use a combination of techniques that your body needs. I begin with finding the dysfunction in your connective tissue. The massage therapy modalities include myofascial release technique, trigger point therapy, visceral manipulation, neuromuscular therapy, informed touch, and all the time the tissue needs to respond. I follow what your body needs. My abilities have allowed clients to decrease pain meds along with some stopping them all together. I also am diagnosed with EDS. Hypermobility with vascular symptoms. I haven’t been treated well from doctors. I had to figure out how to keep myself from becoming disabled and deal with my pain levels.

Do more of what matters with integrative occupational therapy – let your nervous system recover, give your body space to heal, and allow your spirit the deep rest you need with a blend of somatic therapies, manual therapies, and classic occupational therapy approaches custom-tuned to your needs. Hi! I’m Mara Levy, and my pronouns are they/them. I want to build a better world, with more justice, safety, and joy for us all. I think an important way to get there is helping us heal, so we have more capacity to do good in the world. As each of us becomes more whole, we can spread ripples of well-being throughout the world. As an occupational therapist, I work with body, mind, spirit, spirit, identity, roles, community – basically everything that makes us human. I have a lot of specialized skills available, but all my treatment is in the service of helping my clients build their capacity to do the things they care about. Somatic therapies are mind-body care that can help you reconnect with your body, learn to feel safe, manage stress, and live a more meaningful life. Somatic Experiencing is my favorite approach, and can incorporate talk, self-touch, mindfulness, bodywork, movement, and more. Bodywork can help with physical issues like pain and fatigue, and can also help with mind-body challenges including nervous system regulation and trauma healing. All of my bodywork is intended to be pain-free, trauma-informed, and deeply relaxing. My specific modalities include lymphatic drainage massage, craniosacral therapy, neurolymphatic drainage, visceral manipulation, and myofascial release. Occupational therapy is the therapy of doing – we support people’s ability to do the things that matter to them. I incorporate traditional OT approaches to executive function support, sensory regulation, interoception building, and pacing education into my integrative practice. Learn to feel safe in your body, heal from trauma, and build the resilience you need to navigate trying times with holistic care that’s fat positive, queer and trans celebrating, neurodiversity affirming, antiracist, and liberation centered.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

In addition to manual therapies, I utilize silicone cupping, energy work/Reiki, aromatherapy, facilitated stretching, breathwork coaching and sound healing to maximize sessions and promote wellbeing.
As a person with hEDS, I have the lived experience of the nuance and mystery of hypermobility. In my clinical practice, I find it extremely rewarding to work with all types of EDS, because of its relationship to connective tissue and the nervous system. I blend Swedish techniques (to relax the body and mind) with targeted myofascial release (to mitigate connective tissue dysfunction) and neuromuscular therapies (to ensure proper function of all stabilizing muscles and elimination of trigger points). I also find that applying craniosacral therapy with EDS clients assists in gently realigning the bones and structures of the spine, skull, pelvis, as well as the rest of the body. I am always seeking to improve clients’ proprioception and internal awareness, while alleviating pain. I also teach bodywork at the local massage college, and am excited to share information and self care strategies with my clients, particularly since I myself have recovered from many hypermobility-related injuries and dysfunctions. I hope to provide holistic support in accessing easeful movement, helpful resources, and increased quality of life.

Kaitlin Frady is a dual-licensed massage therapist (LMT) and physical therapist assistant (PTA) who has been practicing therapeutic bodywork since 2012. Kaitlin has treated and guided movement in a wide variety of settings, including a hospital medical-surgical unit, fitness centers, multiple outpatient physical therapy clinics, an aquatic therapy center, schools, and several private massage therapy practices. Kaitlin considers herself a lifelong student of the art and science of movement and functional anatomy. Kaitlin founded Root & Branch Bodywork in an effort to bridge her passions for human movement science, skilled hands-on treatment interventions, and evidence-based care. Kaitlin’s approach to bodywork is informed by her athletic background as a former professional aerialist and circus artist who has trained, performed, and coached all over the world. Having moved through both traumatic and chronic overuse injuries throughout her career, she is passionate about identifying and retraining inefficient movement patterns to prevent and treat injuries, address postural imbalances, and help individuals find greater ease of movement within their own bodies.

Art & Science Healing
Art & Science Healing offers integrative bodywork, a multi-faceted approach to address many of the symptoms associated with EDS. Gentle chiropractic adjustments improve joint alignment, reduce pain, and enhance neuromuscular control. Craniosacral therapy can relieve headaches, migraines, and dizziness while supporting nervous system regulation. Frequency Specific Microcurrent drastically improves tissue repair, relieves pain, and helps to balance the autonomic nervous system. Finally, clinical nutrition helps to address gut issues and nutritional deficiencies to further support tissue healing and relieve symptoms. Each session at Art & Science Healing is a personalized blend of these therapies and may include others such as cold laser and ultrasound.

Williamsburg Massage & Lymphatic Therapy
At Williamsburg Massage & Lymphatic Therapy, I provide therapeutic massage and manual lymphatic therapy to support post-surgical recovery, chronic pain, swelling and overall wellness. These modalities can be especially supportive for individuals living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), helping to ease daily discomfort and improve quality of life. While my practice services a wide range of clients, I have a special passion for working with those living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). As someone with EDS myself, and a parent to children with EDS, I understand the many daily challenges of navigating pain, fatigue, joint instability, PCOS, trying to get comfortable just sitting still and the constant search for supportive resources. Massage and lymphatic therapy can help bring comfort, ease inflammation, and provide much-needed relief. Beyond hands-on therapy, I aim to be a resource by sharing guidance on physical therapy, stability garments, and support groups. Supporting the EDS community is a deeply personal part of my work, even as I continue to serve clients with many different needs.

Deb Blaha
I find that the Ehlers-Danlos patients I work with are highly-sensitive (in a good way!) and very in-tune with their bodies. They know what is supportive to them and what is too much or aggravating to their systems. I am also highly-sensitive and work at the subtle, energetic and spiritual levels. I use craniosacral therapy and somatic bodywork to help reduce pain and regain function and well-being. I am also skilled at releasing trauma that is often stored in the body. As a Naturopathic Physician licensed in Washington State I specialize in advanced bodywork and do not practice as a primary care physician. I enjoy working with the complexity of Ehlers-Danlos patients and look forward to hearing from you!
