I am the sole proprietor of Integrative Therapies in Kensington, Maryland

I graduated Northeastern University in Boston with a degree (BS) in math and computer science. After 15 years in the computer field, I returned to school, graduating from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, a four year professional program in the healing sciences, in 1999.

A licensed massage therapist since 2001 and a certified lymphedema therapist since 2005, I have 300 hours of training in lymphatic drainage, including advanced study at the famed Foldi Clinic in Germany.  I am licensed in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

I have extensive experience working with clients diagnosed with lymphedema, providing lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling, compression bandaging and teaching clients how to successfully manage their lymphedema independently.  In addition, I have considerable experience working with patients before and after surgery (joint replacements, plastic surgery, liposuction) using lymphatic drainage to reduce bruising, swelling and pain.

I specialize in lymphatic drainage for the treatment of lymphedema, oncology massage for adult and pediatric patients, therapeutic massage, energy healing & Integrative Reflexology.
