Helping health providers confidently recognise, respond to, and support patients with complex, invisible, and often misattributed symptoms — without burnout or bias.

 Are you seeing more complex cases where symptoms don’t add up?

“This looks like anxiety.”
“The tests are clear — maybe it’s psychological.”
“They just needs to manage stress better.”

If you’ve ever thought or heard these phrases, you’re not alone.

But what if those symptoms were a Connective Tissue Disorder such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS endometriosis, or associated condition? A conditions common misunderstood or missed?

Beyond Anxiety is a practical, evidence-based training for health providers training that equips health professionals with the awareness, tools, and trauma-informed approaches needed to:

✅ Avoid diagnostic overshadowing
✅ Build therapeutic trust and engagement
✅ Improve outcomes for misunderstood chronic conditions
✅ Reduce practitioner stress and burnout

 This training is developed from clinical experience, evidence-based research, and lived experience.
