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.

Body Reform Physical Therapy, Inc.
Providing quality care and education for the symptomatic hypermobile population is a true passion at Body Reform Physical Therapy. Co-owner Mary Perkins Harris has had a lifetime of personal experience managing her own hEDS since long before she was diagnosed. She’s not only a Movement Therapist at Body Reform, but she’s also one of its clients, practicing what she teaches others and receiving manual therapy regularly. In addition to the movement and exercise needs of our hEDS and HSD population, Body Reform also addresses the hypo -mobility that often plays a significant role in pain and injuries through our system of manual therapy called The Bowstring Method®.Hypo-mobility (often experienced as stiffness) is a protective mechanism that limits the amount of movement in one or multiple parts of the body if another area is unstable. For instance, if your lumber spine is hyper-mobile and moves too much, your thoracic spine and hip flexors may get overly stiff or hypo-mobile in an attempt to stabilize your torso. If the rigid hypo-mobile areas of your body keep you from finding and maintaining proper joint positioning while in movement, it can result in increased tissue breakdown in the hyper-mobile body part. Using The Bowstring Method® of manual therapy, we can decrease aberrant tension patterns throughout muscles and joint complexes while normalizing tone, position, and function; and in a way that is intense but uniquely tolerable to the client. This hour-long, transformative style of bodywork partners well with posture, stability, and strength training for people living with hEDS and HDS.

Whole Child LA Pain Clinic
After 30 years developing and directing the UCLA pediatric pain and palliative care program, where I saw many young people with EDS, my husband Dr. Paul Zeltzer, and I formed Whole Child LA pain clinic in our home office in Encino. This also allows us to see patients until age 30 years rather than the 18 year cut-off for pediatrics at UCLA. Before Paul worked with me, he was a pediatric neuro-oncologist where he saw many complicated patients. At UCLA I saw many patients with rare diseases and complicated conditions. My pain clinic was seen as “the clinic of last resort” since everyone sent their most complicated patient to me. Thus what was complicated to others became quite understandable to me and not that complicated. Our success rate at WCLA is about 85% with our seeing the patients that have typically failed other doctors and treatments.

Marta Long MD, Inc
Dr. Long offers consultations for patients who suspect they have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and require an initial diagnosis or a comprehensive evaluation of their symptoms. The EDS-focused consultation does not obligate you to join the house call based concierge primary care practice and includes an optional one-time follow-up to review results. As the evaluation and subsequent report may take several hours, the consultation may not be fully covered by insurance. However, we will bill your insurance as a courtesy for potential reimbursement. Many patients find this consultation beneficial in guiding them toward concrete next steps. For those who opt for concierge primary care and incorporate Dr. Long’s holistic approach, chronic pain and fatigue may resolve within 6-12 months. The comprehensive EDS evaluation includes: Diagnosis Assessment of the musculoskeletal system, including chronic pain and fatigue Evaluation of gastrointestinal, neurological, and psychiatric disorders Dr. Long also offers EDS consultations for children with hypermobility (minimum age of 2) but does not provide primary care to pediatric patients. Out-of-state patients will need to travel to California for an office visit. Patients living outside Orange County will be seen in the office, while those within Orange County have the option of a house call. Due to the complexity of the treatment plan, we recommend that patients involve a family member or trusted partner to assist with its execution, especially when “brain fog” and “attention deficits” are present.

Jessica Workman earned her B.S. in Physiology and Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego, in 2009. She then went on to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos in 2012. During her time in physical therapy school, she discovered that she had been struggling with chronic pain caused by hypermobility. Jessica began her career in an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Thousand Oaks before transitioning to a mixed outpatient orthopedic and neurological practice specializing in vestibular disorders in March 2014. With a focus on treating complex neurological, vestibular, and orthopedic conditions, she utilizes Functional Manual Therapy, Craniosacral techniques from Upledger, and Visceral Manipulation from Barral. She is nearly complete with a Functional Manual Therapy Fellowship through the Institute of Physical Art. It was during her in depth studies into treating a broad array of complex systems such as airway/sleep disorders, connective tissue disorders, concussions, and enhancing athletic performance that Jessica developed a deep passion for treating individuals with chronic pain related to hypermobility, recognizing the unique challenges these patients face. Her approach centers on a holistic evaluation of the person and their environments and lives, collaborating closely with her patients their physicians and loved ones to help them return to the activities and lifestyle that bring them joy.

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.

Sonoma Therapy
I offer virtual psychotherapy services in the state of California. I have an eclectic therapy style, and incorporate elements of mindfulness, somatic experiencing, expressive arts therapy, compassion focused therapy, parts work, and more. I have developed a relationship with many of these healing modalities through lived experience on my own healing journey. I also use trauma informed, strengths based, liberation psychology, and decolonial frameworks when working with clients. This means that I work in a non-pathologizing way, and often call attention to the ways in which trauma, systemic oppression, colonization, and capitalism shape our experiences and contribute to our suffering. Your feelings are not a problem to be diagnosed; your feelings are essential to your survival. Humans need other humans in order to survive and thrive, and healing relational wounds happens in relationships, including the therapeutic relationship. We will work together to build trust over time, and explore what it is like to navigate through life’s journey in your body. I support clients in becoming more acquainted with their bodies and learning how to be more deeply attuned to the messages your body gives you. This practice can help you understand how, where, when, and with whom to set boundaries, and discerning when being disconnected is the most appropriate response. It can also support you in feeling more deeply connected to yourself, other beings, and the world around you. In sessions, I will invite you to engage in a variety of practices. Although taking risks and trying out new tools can help us grow, I trust that you know best about what you need, and I will always respect your “no” if you decline an invitation. You are the expert on your experience, and I am a guide on your journey. My practice is inclusive for individuals who live in marginalized identities. I often support clients who identify as neurodivergent, chronically ill, disabled, queer, trans, people of the global majority, and more. I am committed to practicing deep empathy for the different ways we experience joy and suffering, and oppression and liberation, regardless of whether we share the same identities. Our identities impact all of our relationships, and I welcome discussion about how identity shows up in therapy. I work under the supervision of Katherine Nguyen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #108943) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC #7232).

Electric Edge Physical Therapy (virtual visits anywhere in CA)
I’m a licensed physical therapist and board-certified orthopedic specialist with a passion for helping people with hypermobility maximize their movement potential. My career has been dedicated to creating safe, supportive environments for pediatric and adult patients with hypermobility, beginning with a specialized rotation at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and continuing as I built a hypermobility specialty in an outpatient orthopedic clinic. In 2021, I founded Electric Edge Physical Therapy, a practice focused on treating individuals across the hypermobility spectrum. Whether I’m helping patients manage chronic pain that interferes with daily life, addressing acute joint subluxations and dislocations, or developing safe strength training routines, I’m committed to supporting each patient’s unique journey. I also specialize in treating hypermobile dancers, combining my expertise in joint hypermobility with my deep understanding of the physical demands of dance. I pride myself on solving complex cases, making progress measurable, celebrating small victories along the way, and providing sustainable, long-term solutions instead of quick fixes.

I also incorporate mindfulness and Motivational Enhancement/Motivational Interviewing into my work. I have a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach. My work tends to be a combination of support, education, proactive interventions, and building skills for coping.

Diana Solomon Lactation
I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and I can help families with all forms of EDS (including rare forms) prepare to feed their babies. I have personal experience with this and also have chronic low milk supply. I encourage families to begin working with me before the baby is born. There is so much planning we can do to help things go more smoothly in the postpartum period, and with breastfeeding, this can make a big difference to outcomes due to the hormonal response immediately after birth. Of course I also see patients who first find me after their baby is born and there is still a lot we can do to make feeding feel more comfortable and sustainable with Ehlers-Danlos and its accompanying conditions. I can help with all aspects of infant feeding, whether a family is direct breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or exclusively giving donor milk or formula. I provide non-judgmental care and support my patients however they feed their babies. Parental mental health is a passion of mine and I strive to help each family find a feeding plan that works for them. I accept many US insurance plans and should be in network with almost all plans by late winter 2026. My certification is international, so I can see patients from anywhere in the world online. I am just starting my clinical education of EDS but have many insights from my personal experience. If I don’t know the answer to something, I will work hard to find it. In 2026 I will be participating in three seminar series from EDS Echo, including the one for pediatrics, and I will also attend the EDS Society Female Health Summit. I have a bachelor’s in English and French literature from the University of Chicago and speak Portuguese (fluent), French (advanced), and Spanish (conversational). Please contact me if you are interested in having an appointment in one of these languages. You can follow me on Instagram and TikTok @diana.lactation, where I post about EDS, chronic pain, and low milk supply. I also run the Facebook group Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, & Baby Feeding: Chronic Illness & Ehlers-Danlos.

Living with chronic pain is exhausting—and often, very lonely. Maybe you feel betrayed by your body, angry at medical professionals who haven’t listened, or weighed down by grief over the life you imagined before pain took center stage. Pain touches everything—your relationships, your work, your sense of self—and many don’t understand that the emotional toll is often just as heavy as the physical. You may even find yourself neglecting your body in frustration. And while some days you may manage, on the hard days, it can feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. In therapy, you’ll find a safe space to process the anger, grief, and fear that come with chronic pain. Together, we’ll build coping tools for hard days and unpack the impact of these experiences. You’ll learn healthier ways to care for yourself, advocate for your needs, and begin living with more peace and freedom—even when pain is still part of your story. As both a therapist and someone who personally understands the challenges of chronic pain, I bring compassion, expertise, and lived experience to our work. Using approaches like EMDR, we’ll address both the trauma of pain and its impact on your daily life. Visit my website to schedule a free consultation today. I can’t wait to hear from you.
