Manual Lymphatic Drainage 
For *Health Concerns & General Wellness

*including: Lipedema, Auto-Immune & Auto-Inflamatory Conditions, Cancer Recovery & Secondary Lymphedema, Mold Recovery

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a helpful adjunct treatment for a range of conditions and a valuable boost for general wellness.

  • For those with Lipedema, MLD can be a key component of a broader conservative treatment plan that includes other therapies and healthcare professionals. While it's effective for reducing swelling in clients with lipolymphedema (both lipedema and lymphedema), it's especially helpful for addressing pain and sensitivity.

      In addition, I also work with clients after lipedema removal surgeries to support healing and reduce post-

      surgical swelling.​

  • For those living with autoimmune or auto-inflammatory conditions, MLD can help mitigate inflammation and act as a "tune-up" for the lymphatic system.

  • If you're a cancer survivor experiencing swelling in your extremities after treatment or lymph node biopsy, MLD sessions can help reduce discomfort and swelling over time — and help you maintain those results.

Monthly Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a great way to commit to regular treatments that prevent further development of lymphedema issues and help you enjoy everyday activities with more ease and comfort.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, the Manual Lymphatic Drainage Membership program is an easy, affordable way to invest in your health and wellbeing. It offers one 90-minute session per month at a slightly reduced rate, plus a 15% discount on any additional MLD sessions scheduled in the same month.

I've been certified in and practicing the Chickly method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) since 2008, and I became double certified in 2022 by training in the Vodder method through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), earning the accreditation MLD-C. I'm planning to complete the advanced training to become a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) so I can offer even more expertise to my clients and community.

You might see a lot on my site about post-operative MLD for cosmetic surgeries, but I also work with clients experiencing a number of medical conditions and concerns. I'm especially passionate about working with folks who suspect they may have lipedema, who are recovering from lipedema removal surgery, or who are navigating life with autoimmune or auto-inflammatory conditions.

It's no secret that women's health issues have gone largely underfunded and under-researched, and that women's reports of pain and illness have statistically been taken less seriously. As a result, autoimmune conditions and lipedema tend to take years after symptoms begin to reach a diagnosis. I personally believe that the Western system most of us operate within has helped contribute to a growing epidemic of these conditions, particularly in women.

A major focus of my work is to help reduce pain, inflammation, and exhaustion levels, while also giving clients resources to help shorten the time between symptom onset and diagnosis.

Lymphatic drainage is beneficial to your health from the very first session. This work is soothing to the nervous system — relaxing and subtle — but it can also have profound effects on how your body heals and maintains itself.

I'll always offer individual sessions so you can see for yourself if MLD is a good fit. I also offer a Monthly MLD Subscription, which gives you one 90-minute session per month at a reduced cost. Each session addresses problem areas while treating the whole body for overall well-being. As a monthly subscriber, you also receive 15% off any additional appointments as needed during the month.

For cases of extensive lymphedema/swelling or primary lymphedema, please seek out a Certified Lymphedema Therapist who can better assist you with Complete Decongestive Therapy. (This requires a more extensive level of training than I am currently trained to do.) Refer to the Academy of Lymphatic Studies or the LANA website if you need assistance finding a CLT.
