Born Bendy
About
I am a non-clinical movement professional who specializes in supporting individuals with hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and co-occurring conditions such as POTS. As both a hypermobile person myself and a parent to a hypermobile teen, I bring deep personal understanding to the work I do. I recognize the unique frustrations, challenges, and emotional landscape that both adults and teens experience when trying to feel stable and confident in their bodies. This lived experience fuels a compassionate, patient, and highly individualized approach. Professionally, I have extensive experience training hypermobile clients under the guidance and collaboration of physical therapists. My role focuses on bridging the gap between physical therapy and real life—helping clients carry over therapeutic recommendations, build stability, improve proprioception, and develop functional movement patterns long after insurance-based care has ended. I frequently support clients managing joint instability, chronic pain, fatigue, pelvic floor considerations, and autonomic challenges, always staying within my scope of practice while empowering them to continue progressing. I work with teens, adults, and families who want to better understand their bodies and move through the world with greater ease and confidence. My training is rooted in empathy, education, and an unwavering belief that bendy bodies are capable and deserving of support that honors their unique needs. I currently train out of The Juniper House in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake, conveniently located near Target, where I provide a welcoming and accessible environment for clients seeking ongoing guidance beyond the clinic.
