New Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Support Group

Registered nurse, CranioSacral Practitioner and reiki master Carrie Tetkoskie, owner of Loving Heart Blissful Soul, is now a member of the Ehlers Danlos Society’s Global Affiliation Program. Her CranioSacral Therapy practice specializes in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and she is the group facilitator for a new Healing Hearts of PA EDS Support Group. Tetkoskie has received the 2024 Readers Choice Award for the Harrisburg magazine Simply the Best Alternative Medical Specialist Clinic, winning two years in a row.

 

EDS, a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissues which provide support to the skin, bones, blood vessels and other organs, is often overlooked in medical society and patients report it is not uncommon for them to wait more than 10 years to receive a diagnosis. A multi-system approach and strong support system is often necessary in order to transcend the many issues and complaints. People with EDS often have overly flexible joints, stretchy skin and fragile tissues, leading to frequent joint dislocations, skin that bruises easily and slow wound healing.

 

Support group admission is free with phone registration at 717-603-1732. Practice location: Cumberland County. For more information, email [email protected] or visit Tinyurl.com/LovingHeartBlissfulSoul.
