Sessions with Barbara are always good. She helps me review my journey with lymphedema by evaluating my progress and suggesting options, such as, exercise or compression garments that will keep me feeling healthy. Georgia Ellars

She offered amazing information. Was absolutely interested in what aspect of my current situation and previous care. Totally professional. She was able to show and describe what was going on in terms I could easily understand. Even though the hour went really quickly, I didn't leave with unanswered questions or feeling overwhelmed.

I am a long time client. Barbara was recommended by my primary care physician several years ago. I made immediate and lasting progress under her care. I am very pleased with Barbara's professionalism, knowledge and attention to details. She makes sure that I know/ remember why she is doing specific treatments, expected outcomes, and what I need to do at home. I have never been disappointed and will never go to another Therapist as long as Barbara is available.

In addition to MLD, which moved a lot of lymph fluid from my abdomen, Barbara used our hour together to educate me and offer practical, useful suggestions to help me manage my lymphedema more effectively. Barbara is the consummate lymphedema therapist. She has made such a difference in my coping with this chronic, time-consuming disease.
