About

Her approach is gentle, informed, and highly individualized, with a strong emphasis on safety, communication, and nervous system support. Christy is deeply committed to creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, respected, and truly cared for- because she knows on a very personal level just how much that matters.
EDS Healthcare in New Jersey
New Jersey has no in-state EDS Center of Excellence. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside, New York is the nearest Center of Excellence for northern New Jersey patients. The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center is also accessible from northern New Jersey. Southern New Jersey patients can access CHOP and Penn State Health's EDS Program in Pennsylvania.
New Jersey's location is actually an advantage — most residents are within 1-2 hours of multiple EDS programs in New York and Pennsylvania. The main challenge is navigating out-of-state insurance coverage and choosing among the available programs. Central New Jersey patients have access to both New York and Philadelphia options.
Finding Other for EDS
Mention your EDS diagnosis at the start of any appointment so the provider can factor connective tissue fragility into their evaluation and treatment approach.
