HYPERMOBILITY 101 WORKSHOP

I was going to call this workshop “Everything I Wish People Knew About Hypermobility, hEDS, and HSD” but that seemed like a mouthful. So instead I went with Hypermobility 101: Your Essential Guide for Hypermobility, hEDS, and HSD.
Here’s what you need to know:
  • the workshop is at The Light Centre Monument 36 Saint Mary at Hill, London EC3R 8DU from 12:30-4:45pm
  • tickets are super limited. We’re talking 15 tickets total as the workshop is being hosted in a cozy venue with heaps of character in the heart of central London
  • the Hypermobility 101 workshop will cover everything I wish people knew about hypermobility, hEDS, and HSD in the time that I’ll have with you. You can see the itinerary for the day below.
  • your ticket includes coffee/tea/cake from the most gorgeous little cafe at the venue. Most dietary requirements can be accommodated for as long as I know in advance, so please reach out ASAP if you get a ticket and have a specific dietary requirement!
  • there will be goody bags featuring products from some of my favourite brands
  • there is AIR CONDITIONING!
  • the venue is on the ground floor, there are no stairs, and there is a single-stall accessible bathroom

more about me

hey there!

I’m a UK registered osteopath who specialises in working with hypermobile patients who have complex, chronic, and seemingly ‘treatment-resistant’ injuries. My years of professional experience (as well as my lifetime of personal experience of being hypermobile!) have given me a wealth of knowledge that I use to craft bespoke, scientifically-informed, truly patient-centred treatment plans for hypermobile patients whether they’re dealing with 1 injury or 10! I take pride in offering hypermobile patients healthcare support that addresses and works with their uniquely hypermobile bodies.
