Empower Your Healing Journey with Expert Guidance As a Doctor of Physical Therapy living with hEDS, POTS, CCI, bilateral jugular vein stenosis, Pelvic Venous Disease (Pelvic Congestion Syndrome/May-Thurner Syndrome), chronic CSF leaks, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension , I intimately understand the challenges of hypermobility-related conditions. With 15 years of clinical experience in orthopedics, pelvic health, and hypermobility/dysautonomia , I combine science-backed strategies with compassionate, individualized care to help you regain control of your health and befriend your body. Before becoming a PT, hypermobility served me well as a professional dancer. Now, with 30 years of experience teaching movement, I take a holistic, evidence-based approach —blending therapeutic exercise, Pilates, yoga therapy, mindfulness, and vagal nerve stimulation —to help retrain the autonomic nervous system so that it can shift to a more balanced state. Regulating the nervous system from a state of chaos to calm allows your protective mechanisms- like pain, ANS dysfunction, and MCAS- to recalibrate and become helpful warning signals rather than hypersensitive alarms that sound off inappropriately, causing chronic symptoms rather than helpful alerts. My ideal clients are curious learners eager to understand how their hypermobility and physiological adaptations have shaped them. Education has been a vital part of my own healing, and I love helping others harness their resilience to retrain their nervous system and optimize function. Research shows that neuroplasticity is not diminished in hypermobile individuals —our brains and bodies can rewire and adapt. There is hope. 📌 Telehealth PT is available for patients in South Carolina and North Carolina. Virtual health coaching is available regardless of location. Learn more & book here: [Health Coaching with Dr. Cat](https://dr-cat.embodiaapp.com/patientportal/clinicpackages). My research focuses on autonomic regulation, vagal nerve stimulation, neuroplasticity, and healing from trauma —including the medical trauma of delayed diagnosis, conflicting messages from healthcare professionals, and misdiagnosis or mistreatment.

Core Pilates

Hilton Head Island, SC · Movement / Exercise

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.

Spiro Physical Therapy

Mauldin, SC · Physical Therapy

I have been practicing for 13 years and working with patients with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome for 12. Over these 12 years my knowledge of how to best help patients with EDS has been shaped by my patients, other practitioners and any educational resources I can find. As a Physical Therapist my focus is on improving motor control and strength through neuromotor re-education, guided movement patterns, education and biofeedback. With this approach our goal is decrease in pain, improvement in proprioceptive awareness and regaining function. At Spiro patients are seen one on one for an hour and given individualized treatment programs. The clinic is out-of-network, but with the individualized approach we find that patients have more success more quickly resulting in a savings of time and often a savings of money as compared to a typical in-network Physical Therapy clinic. If you are interested, reach out for a free 20 minute phone consultation. I would be happy to hear your discuss how PT could help.
