Replays for everything will be uploaded into the course, which live everything else in the course you will have LIFETIME access to.  

You absolutely can do the entire course via the replays and the pre-recorded modules and classes. Many people have done this and/or prefer this! 

There’s a lot of info in the course,  and the live calls are designed make sure everyone is understanding the info that is already in the course.

If the call time doesn't work for you, I also added two office hours calls strictly for Q&A that will be at 5pm CDT…which may work for you to drop in and ask any questions.

And there’s plenty of ways to interact with me outside of the live calls. Before the live calls, I specifically reach out to everyone before the call and ask everyone who can’t make it to send me any questions they have. We also have a private Facebook group that I’m in there answering questions pretty much every day. 

Absolutely! This is the #1 reason people come to me looking for help. It can be quite confusing to know where to start and most "beginner" movement programs can be a bit too advanced for someone struggling with symptomatic hypermobility.  

Most of my patients and clients when they first come to me for help are starting from the very beginning, and may have very limited activity tolerance or may not tolerate upright activity due to fatigue, dysautonomia, pain etc. 

That's why the beginning of this course is rooted in simple body awareness (proprioception) and stability drills that can be done laying down in bed or on  mat, for just a few minutes per day.   

There is then guidance on how to slowly advance your practice as you're ready. 

In this course you'll learn the key fundamentals that help hypermobile humans stabilize their bodies to feel less pain. These skills are best learned with low intensity but very purposeful movements that are appropriate for just about anyone that has been medically cleared to perform activity.  

*like any movement based program, be sure to obtain clearance from your medical team for participation in a gentle exercise program. 

Most likely Spring 2026, with the caveat that this does depend on the number of spoons I have:) 

Mon Oct 6 is our 1st live call. 

Access to all of the course material will be available Sat Oct 4, and then you get lifetime access! 

Access to course will open on Sat Oct 4 to give you the weekend to pop in and look around prior to our 1st live call on Mon Oct 6. 

You'll receive an email notification to let you know you're good to go! 

Once the course is open, you can access the course anytime via my website.  Just click the "Login" button at the top right. 

Essentials

1.  Mini Bands
2. Long Bands  (either of the below)  
   • CanDo Bands - My favorite for anyone with wrist/hand issues that have trouble holding long bands.  They have loops! And are stretchy fabric instead of rubbery elastic and latex free :) 
   •  Theraband - Light to Medium, they also make a latex free version.​  

3.  Coregous Ball -   I like that this ball has the added possible benefit to use against the skin for self-massage and breathwork. Or any 9" inflatable Pilates ball (This one is latex free) or small pillow will also work for the first several weeks.

Recommended (but not required)

Core Coach  Biofeedback Cuff. Especially helpful for learning deep neck flexor activation. They have been a little difficult to source lately, so if this specific link is out of stock, you can do a Google search for "Biofeedback cuff" or "core biofeedback." 

There are a few other items like foam rollers, balance pads, and light free weights that will also be optional (not required) for some exercises you’ll see later in the program.  When you register, you’ll get a detailed list of everything. 

Learning to move with a hypermobile body is complex and NUANCED. 

Often times for anyone that's struggled with pain due to hypermobility, exercise programs have been too intense initially, progressed to quickly, or not enough attention given to motor control, proprioception and addressing any neurological inhibition of smaller muscle groups due to pain or dysfunctional movement patterns. 

This program addresses each of these issues head on, to reduce the chances of pain flares by starting low, progressing slow and giving you the tools to feel what's happening in your body to take the guesswork out of wondering why you may have unexplained pain after movements. 

These are going to be very intro level workouts, starting with gentle motor control exercises and many workouts are short and completely laying down.

They then progress to a mix of standing and floor work. 

All area are designed for intro level,  but for someone already exercising at a higher level, but want to fine tune the understanding of their body,  these also can be used as a light and gentle stability/mobility recovery day 

This is literally the BIGGEST barrier even with 1:1 physical therapy and something I love helping my patients be successful at. 

That's why there's over 50 follow along exercise videos to follow along with to help you stay motivated and prevent getting bored. 

These videos start at a very low level mat only intro intensity and gradually progress as you're able.  

It's my #1 priority to keep you engaged in the process. This is why I offer weekly calls, the ability to ask me questions on Facebook and many other contact points and strategies to nudge you to continue taking small steps forward. 

And...when you find a movement practice that helps you feel better, surprise surprise, it's MUCH more easy to be consistent. 

5-10 min a few times/week to do your personalized stability program that you'll develop. 

Weekly live calls are ~1.5-2 hours.  Long enough to answer everyone's questions and you're encouraged to be present as fully or as minimally as you're able (meaning listening while laying in bed with an ice pack on your head and camera off is completely OK and still helpful!)

A key part of this program is that you move at YOUR own pace.  You have lifetime access to everything, so there's no rush. 

No.

This is an intro to gentle stabilization, mobility, and pain management to enable to you to successfully work up to  strength training parameters with your movements when you're ready.  Which I do hope is sooner rather than later, and is something many people can begin much sooner than they realize with success when programmed appropriately.  

I also have a high-touch small group strength training mentorship for hypermobility called "It's So Easy" that is designed to be a next step after Ground Control.

We're finished up the Summer 2025 round of It's So Easy and I'll likely offer this again in the Winter 2026  with folks that have taken Ground Control getting priority for the limited spots. 

Prior to starting a strength training program it's can be  helpful to have some of the fundamental in Ground Control down first.    

ALWAYS! 

If within 14 days after the start of the course, you find the information in this course is just not what you need, I'm happy to offer a refund. 

Symptomatic hypermobility has a very wide spectrum of presentations and while there are some universal skills we all should know about how to control our bodies, what any person needs exactly at any given moment can be very different.  So if that turns out the be the case, I'd be happy to give you a refund so you can use that money on something that is more suitable for your needs right now. 

Management of upper cervical instability is best addressed one-on-one with a knowledgeable provider.

That said, symptoms of this condition can be highly variable. If you’ve been cleared by your provider to participate in gentle movement, and you have little to no neurological symptoms with movement, this course may be beneficial for you.

The foundations taught in this program are especially helpful for upper cervical instability. We cover the basics of cervical stability along with hip and pelvic control, scapular stability, breathwork, posture, and foot stability—all of which work together to support and protect the cervical spine.

If you’re unsure, please reach out with your questions, and be sure to get explicit clearance from your medical care team before starting.

Ground Control is an educational wellness and fitness program, not medical treatment, so most insurance plans will not cover it.

That said, some plans do offer reimbursement for wellness or fitness programs. If you think this might apply to you, check your policy or call your insurance representative. If it’s included, ask them what documentation they require—I’m happy to provide whatever I can.

Typically, this might mean a receipt, a course outline, or other basic information about the program. Since this isn’t medical treatment or physical therapy, I can’t provide medical billing codes (CPT codes), but I’ll support you with the paperwork I’m able to share.

Maybe!

Ground Control is an educational wellness and fitness program, not medical treatment. Many HSA/FSA plans do cover programs like this, but it depends on your specific plan.

If you’re not sure, the best first step is to check your HSA/FSA benefits—either by reviewing your policy or calling to speak with a representative. Be sure to ask if they require any specific documentation. I’m happy to provide receipts, a course outline, or other basic program information if needed.

You can also try using your HSA/FSA card directly at checkout. If your plan doesn’t cover it, they’ll simply contact you to collect the payment another way.
