Begin with clarity. Move forward with support
The ZIP Care System™
The ZIP - Zebra Insight Pathway Care System™ was created for people with hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum disorder/HSD, hEDS, and EDS who are living with complex, overlapping symptoms.
Many patients arrive feeling overwhelmed by years of scattered information, multiple providers, confusing symptoms, and unanswered questions. The ZIP Care System™ gives patients a structured way to begin, learn, track what matters, understand patterns, and move toward more personalized next steps.
This is not a one-size-fits-all program. It is a guided pathway designed to help patients feel less alone, less confused, and better supported as they learn how their body responds.
How the Application Process Fits

A Step-by-Step Pathway
The ZIP Care System™ is built in stages so patients are not expected to figure everything out at once. Each stage has a different purpose.
Get Your First Stripes™ - Start with clarity,
not overwhelm.
Get Your First Stripes™ is the first guided step in the ZIP Care System™. This stage helps patients begin in a manageable way. You do not have to arrive with every symptom perfectly explained, every record in order, or every question already answered.
Patients may gain: a clearer starting point; a better sense of what concerns need attention first; early guidance about support needs; and a less overwhelming way to begin care.
Beyond Your Stripes™ - Build understanding before moving deeper.
Beyond Your Stripes™ helps patients develop a stronger foundation for understanding hypermobility-related complexity. This stage focuses on education, self-awareness, symptom context, pacing, and the ways different body systems may influence one another.
Patients may gain: better language for explaining symptoms; greater awareness of body-system overlap; practical tools for pacing and self-observation; and a stronger foundation for the next stage of the pathway.
Zebra Tracks™ + ZIP Pattern Mapping™ - Notice what your body is trying to show you.
Many patients have years of symptoms, flares, food reactions, pain patterns, fatigue cycles, nervous-system shifts, and confusing good days and bad days. Zebra Tracks™ + ZIP Pattern Mapping™ helps patients begin noticing what may be connected.
Patients may gain: more awareness of symptom patterns; clearer insight into flares, triggers, and recovery needs; better understanding of how nutrition, activity, stress, sleep, and body systems may interact; and preparation for more personalized care planning.
S.T.R.E.T.C.H.Y. Protocol™ - Move toward more personalized next steps.
The S.T.R.E.T.C.H.Y. Protocol™ is the structured treatment-planning and implementation stage of the ZIP Care System™. By this point, the patient and care team have a clearer picture of symptoms, priorities, patterns, support needs, and possible next steps.
Patients may gain: clearer priorities; a more personalized care direction; step-by-step support; help adjusting the plan as needs change; and a stronger sense of how to move forward.
S.T.R.E.T.C.H.Y. Protocol ™
Dr. Kerri developed the S.T.R.E.T.C.H.Y. Protocol™ to have a framework that works for all patients to take the necessary steps beyond your initial assessment and plan. Sheand your team help you determine what issues to address first so that we can unravel your complex symptom picture. Throughout this process, we finalize your Initial Foundational Plan so that you have your unique Foundational Plan (FP). With this, you learn and understand how to move forward, address your day, and whatever issues arise. Learning how your body functions and responds is imperative to reach your short-term and long-term goals. Dr. Kerri has found through her personal experience that what was helpful and valuable can be applied to all hypermobile patients. All hypermobile patients need a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team to work together for optimal health and well-being.

6 Week Zebra Foundations Program
To Kick Start your journey
The Zebra Sprint is a six-week program to kick-start your health. You may be unsure of your EDS diagnosis, newly diagnosed or diagnosed already, but frustrated with your current healthcare options. Or you’re experiencing hypermobility and are getting nowhere and have been dealing with so many confusing and frustrating issues. In this program, you will start to educate and unravel your health care concerns, which will help you assess your body and reach your health goals. This program will include weekly visits with a naturopathic health coach, a visit with Dr. Kerri, the S.T.R.I.P.E.S.™ educational programs, and monthly access to our patient-only website.
The approximate cost for this Service is $550 (2 payments of $275)
12 Week Zebra Foundations Program
Like the 6-week Starter Package, you visit your Naturopathic Health Coach weekly. This 12-week Zebra Foundations Program allows you to have more visits with Dr. Kerri.However, this program provides more support than the Zebra Sprint Package. Your Naturopathic Health Coach will work with you closely. This program includes the Initial S.T.R.I.P.E.S.™ Educational Program (6 weeks) and another 4-week module. For those of you with a few more conditions and increased complexity, this program will give you the additional support you need to unravel your tangle of symptoms.
