DEB BLAHA, NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/hEDS

"I have Ehlers Danlos (hEDS) and have worked with Dr. Blaha for over three years. I see her weekly and it’s the only appointment I never miss! This syndrome is tough to live with and many providers have never worked with it. Dr. Blaha understands and listens. She is curious and keeps learning. Our work together has made such a positive impact on my quality of life, I recommend her without hesitation!"

"I am a highly sensitive, neurodivergent woman with a long history of medical trauma, and I live with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome along with multiple musculoskeletal and nerve injuries. Finding medical providers who feel safe, attuned, and truly helpful has been extremely difficult for me.

I came upon Dr. Deb Blaha almost by accident after being diagnosed with a functional movement disorder. Following a car accident, I had been experiencing uncontrollable movements for over a year—movements that severely impacted my activities of daily living and overall quality of life. Despite seeing multiple specialized providers, no one could explain what was happening or offer meaningful help.

After seeing Dr. Blaha for just a couple of sessions, the improvement was undeniable. Her intuition and unique abilities allowed her to communicate with my body in ways that are difficult to explain but profoundly effective. The changes were so significant that my other medical providers were genuinely blown away by my progress—and have since referred other patients to her because of it.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Blaha or what she is capable of helping people accomplish. For anyone who feels unseen, misunderstood, or stuck after exhausting conventional options, she is truly exceptional!!"

Ehlers-Danlos patients are in a tricky situation as their symptoms are often not understood, minimized or dismissed and then they fall between several different modalities with specialists each only seeing a part of the picture.

With craniosacral therapy I can treat the varying symptoms that emerge with a deep listening to the body, unwinding of the fascia, supporting structures that don't have enough structure. Understanding that joint pain, neck pain and nerve pain present differently with EDS/hEDS. And working with other common pieces that are often part of this complex puzzle: trauma, brain inflammation, headaches, anxiety, constipation etc.

I also participate in The Ehlers-Danlos Society’s monthly live drop-in sessions where medical practitioners from different disciplines and different parts of the world share current clinical insights, concerns and case studies. www.ehlers-danlos.com
