Weldon Wellness / The Light Clinic

I am licensed as a physician in Oregon and work over telemedicine with neurodivergent and chronically ill clients across the United States as a health coach, including people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and its associated conditions (POTS, MCAS, etc). I provide trauma-informed naturopathic consulting and coaching services, using herbs, nutrition, education, movement, and health counseling, to establish and embody a concept of wellness that includes neurodivergent and disabled populations, and support clients in navigating the healthcare system as they see specialists for diagnosis and treatment. For clients living in central Kentucky, I also specialize in craniosacral therapy and mind/body medicine in person at The Light Clinic in Frankfort, KY. There is increasing evidence of the significant overlap between autism and hEDS; tailoring support for clients and patients who have these co-occurring experiences can greatly improve outcomes. I have significant additional training in hEDS, MCAS, and dysautonomia, and I live with these conditions personally as well. Much of my approach is about improving quality of life while living with chronic conditions, and so includes both practical support and a focus on the mental/emotional experience and nervous system health.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Autonomic Dysfunction Center in Nashville is particularly relevant for EDS patients with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia. The Nashville area is growing in EDS resources. IU Health's EDS & HSD Clinic in Indianapolis is the nearest EDS Society Center of Excellence, about 4 hours from Nashville. Memphis patients may access programs in other regions.
