Ab (Abigail) Krumbein Somatic Therapy
We all deserve to feel safe and connected. Sometimes, overwhelming things happen that prevent us from feeling safe and settled in the world. In therapy, we support the strengths that have helped you survive and grow your capacity to move towards the life you long for. Whatever you are experiencing, be that anxiety, depression, or the pain of trauma or oppression, together we will collaborate to tend to what hurts and to nurture the vitality that exists inside you. I approach this process somatically, meaning we will listen for your sensations, emotions, movements, and memories as clues to guide the healing journey. I also believe we heal in relationship. I offer a place to explore your experience of connection and to practice how you want to relate with yourself and others. In my therapy practice, I specialize in helping sick and disabled people connect to themselves and their bodies. I am very knowledgeable about hEDS, and common co-occuring disorders like MCAS and POTS. I use this knowledge to help my clients come home to their bodies, learning tools to live well with illness. I work with sick and disabled people, queer, trans, and nonbinary people, folks practicing non-monogamy and polyamory, artists, healers, and activists. My style is warm, playful, gentle, and experiential. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation to see if we feel like a good fit.

The Feldenkrais Method of somatic education is an innovative approach to neuromuscular re-education built on the principles of biomechanics, neuroplasticity, and mind-body awareness. Feldenkrais practitioners approach your body holistically, looking at and working with movement patterns through the whole system, as opposed to in isolation. You can read more about the method [in the New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/well/trying-the-feldenkrais-method-for-chronic-pain.html), [ Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/a-different-way-to-relieve-years-of-back-pain/2018/09/27/f3e663f4-b505-11e8-a2c5-3187f427e253story.html), or this [bestselling dive into neuroscience](https://www.amazon.com/Brain-That-Changes-Itself-Frontiers-ebook/dp/B000QCTNIW/ref=sr12?qid=1574903747&refinements=p27%3ADoidge+Norman&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Doidge+Norman). The method works in two ways: group “Awareness Through Movement” classes and private, usually hands-on sessions that also incorporate elements of ATM. I, myself, have EDS (hypermobile type), and specialize in working with individuals who have EDS, other chronic conditions, pain, and/or are recovering from injury. I enjoy helping people discover and refine their innate sense of healthy movement. My primary teachers studied with founder Moshe Feldenkrais, the founder of the method.

Hypermobility Exercise Solutions
Robyn is an active researcher of Hypermobility Exercise Science and spent 10 years as a licensed Biological Sciences and Physiology teacher. Also, she earned an M.S. Degree in Human Physiology from New York Medical College in 2013. While she was finishing the program, she obtained her Personal Training Certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She is currently working on a team for research and guidelines surrounding Vascular Heritable Diseases such as vascular EDS, Marfans, Loeys-Deitz, Meester-Loeys, and others. Her understanding of the nuances regarding rarer types of connective tissue disorders allows her to create safer programming for this uniquely underserved population. Since graduating, Robyn has obtained certifications of Thermalist (2024), Pre/Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist (2022), Corrective Exercise Specialist (2020), Women’s Fitness Specialist (2018), and Fitness Nutrition Specialist (2016), along with a dozen minor certifications in Myofascial Release/Foam Rolling, Hydration, Body Building, and others. Robyn has a range of experience working with individuals at all levels of athletic ability; chronic illness and pain clients, professional athletes, as well as recreational and competitive climbers, mountain bikers, skiers, and more. We believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to fitness and injury prevention, especially if you are Hypermobile and/or live with HSD/EDS or a similar Connective Tissue disease. There are no quick solutions either. However, by creating a sustainable, long-term approach to your health management and fitness goals, you will feel and see better results quickly that stick over time and will ultimately lead to fewer flares and a highly improved quality of life. Based in Arvada, Colorado, we heal Hypermobility Spectrum clients from the Front Range of Denver to the foothills. Through virtual sessions, we are able to work anywhere in the USA. We focus primarily on Injury Mitigation for all stages, ages, and progressions of Hypermobility/HSD/EDS, and sport and recreation-specific training for mountain and road biking, rock climbing (outdoor, gym, trad, boulder V0-V15, and sport 5.Fun-5.13s), competitive and recreational skiing, horseback riding, ice hockey, and backpacking. We do highly specialized work with prehabilitation (before surgery or PT), post-rehabilitation (after PT is complete), as well as hypermobile/HSD/EDS pre-and post-natal fitness clients.

During my athletic career, I accumulated numerous injuries, and was diagnosed with EDS that led to years of chronic pain. This sparked a lifelong passion for how biomechanics, nutrition, and neurology interact with each other and affect how we experience pain. I have always loved learning and solving complex, multisystem problems and am especially interested in applying my knowledge to injuries and pain. Personal Training Individualized fitness programming that has a detailed why behind every decision made. Everything I do is built off an initial assessment that will be repeated regularly to assess progress and to ensure your programming is up to date. Together we will work to create a program that is tailored specifically to your goals and needs. There is no one size fits all when it comes to health and wellness. The human body is a system of dynamic subsystems that integrate into extreme complexity and what works for one person might not work for another. Context is key. I specialize in biomechanics and integrating mobility principles into strength training. I also have a special interest in helping individuals who are hypermobile and/or diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome learn how to strengthen, stabilize, and create a resilient body to combat risk of injury and pain so that they can live a limitless life inside and outside the gym. I have over 7 years of experience creating fitness and nutrition programs for individuals of all ages and experience levels. I have experience coaching and training athletes of all ages and levels (youth through professional athletes). I also have experience training individuals with various injuries and health conditions such as Lyme disease, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), hypermobility, chronic back/low back pain, knee pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, and spinal cord injuries. Nutrition Coaching Work one on one with me with online nutrition coaching. I provide simple, no B.S. nutrition education and recommendations so that you can become the best version of yourself mentally and physically while also having the confidence to maintain this for life. I have worked with people of all ages and with various goals ranging from weight loss to optimizing health to gaining weight/muscle. My goal is to be the last coach you’ll ever need Somatic Coaching My personalized approach blends methods such as inner child healing, somatic parts work (based off internal family systems), nervous system regulation, JournalSpeak, breathwork, movement, energy healing, and so much more. I am passionate about holding space for the body’s wisdom to come through. I trust that given the right space, time, support, and permission, our bodies know how to heal and repair. Somatic work involves healing through leveraging the wisdom of the body (the soma) where our most deeply engrained subconscious behaviors and beliefs are stored. Our work together, we will explore the language of your body by diving into inner explorations that involve your body, mind, and soul so that you can better understand yourself and find powerful ways to create change internally and externally. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I empower your intuition and honor your body’s natural pacing in order to support your lasting change.

I teach private sessions in a Pilates studio that also offers group and semi-private instruction. As a second career and following my own diagnosis with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I became a comprehensively trained pilates teacher in order to learn more about the methodology and how I could use it to assist myself and others with pain management and the other complications resulting from EDS and HSD. I have completed an EDS Echo course with Jeannie Di Bon to further understand how some of the Pilates principles can be modified in order to assist those living with EDS and HSD in developing a successful movement practice. More recently, I have completed several of the courses offered by the Postural Restoration Institute in order to further understand how normal human asymmetries impact postural alignment and balance. I have found that the use of the non- manual techniques taught by the Institute can be very beneficial in developing a movement practice that improves postural balance and assists in calming the nervous system.

I found my way into this work the same way many people with EDS do—by necessity. After navigating multiple chronic illness diagnoses in my early twenties, including Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, and MCAS, I turned to mindfulness, yoga, and nervous-system-supportive practices to make sense of my experience. I know firsthand what it’s like to live in a body that requires creativity, pacing, and constant problem-solving. And I also know the incredible joy that can come from finding strategies, movements, and routines that actually help and don’t make you flare for three days. Today, I blend lived experience with training as a hypermobility-aware yoga instructor, Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and meditation mentor.

But answers without direction can leave you just as lost. My job is to help you: Understand what your diagnoses actually mean Build a realistic care plan that fits your energy and symptoms Identify the right providers (locally or virtually) Prepare for appointments and advocate for your needs Cut through the noise, referrals, gatekeeping, and endless waitlists Feel grounded, informed, and supported—every step of the way No more waiting six months to see a specialist only to hear, “I don’t treat that,” or “You need another referral.” (What do some of them even specialize in—referrals? Yeah… we’re not doing that.) My Approach Living with EDS is complex. I won’t ever tell you to “push through” or “just try harder.” I believe in: Pacing and energy conservation Respecting your body’s limits Creating routines that are realistic, flexible, and supportive Small steps with big impact Honoring your lived experience You deserve care that understands chronic illness from the inside out. I’ve got you. Let’s do this—together.

Sheldrake Pilates and Movement
I offer private Pilates equipment lessons at my studio as well as online group and private classes for hypermobile humans. I focus on creating a sense of safety and support in the body using breathing techniques and hypermobile-appropriate exercises for strength, stability and proprioception. I believe it’s important to consider the whole person when teaching exercises – the mental and emotional systems are just as critical as the physical movements. My Pilates training was in contemporary methods (Stott and Balanced Body) and I have worked with my clients’ physical therapists as needed. I have completed Jeannie Di Bon’s Integrated Movement Method training and have many years of experience working with hypermobile bodies, including my own.

Vantage Health and Fitness Collective
I teach yoga for Bendy People on the first Sunday of every month at Vantage Health and Fitness Collective. The yoga classes are all about feeling into our bodies and learning how to adapt yoga for a hypermobile body. Spoiler alert! The emphasis will NOT be on stretching! It will be on stability and proprioceptive awareness. I teach in a trauma informed way, and I also add a healthy dose of healing shame, finding self love, and faith in ourselves. I also care for people’s bodies through Thai bodywork. I specialize in Thai for Bendy people. I have specific ways of supporting them and knowing what to stretch and what not to stretch, and how to make them feel better.
