Woking
Joo
Hello, my name is Joo. I am excited to be the area co-ordinator for Woking.
Like many of us my road to diagnosis was long and difficult as my symptoms were varied and debilitating. After years of struggling I was finally diagnosed in 2022 by Dr Alan Hakim with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Getting a diagnosis was so validating and cathartic, it led me down an unexpected path of leaving the corporate world behind to train as a Health Coach with the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Armed with a diagnosis and now the education, I can better
control my symptoms and able to live a much fuller life.
I am incredibly passionate about helping others improve their wellbeing and hope to be of service to the EDS community
long term especially as some of my children have inherited my genes.
I am looking forward to meeting you and creating a lovely community of Zebras in Woking.
