I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist with over 25 years of experience in the field of therapeutic bodywork. I hold advanced certification in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) through the Chikly Institute, and Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) through Klose Training, specializing in the treatment and management of lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Known for my compassionate and individualized approach, I combine clinical skill with a deep understanding of the lymphatic and muscular systems. My treatments are rooted in evidence-based techniques that support healing, reduce discomfort, and improve quality of life for each client.

In addition to lymphedema and MLD therapy, I offer comprehensive massage therapy services tailored to address pain relief, stress reduction, and rehabilitation. I am committed to continuing education and stay current on the latest research and techniques in manual therapy and integrative health.

SET The Technique proudly accepts VA referrals as a community care provider and welcomes clients utilizing Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). My practice is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming space for healing and recovery.

Best massage ever!!!
by Luis on Feb 24
What she does very well, is dial in what you specifically need from the beginning. From red light therapy and her amazing technique with her skillful hands. She's helped me back off of my medication almost entirely and truly rely on the techniques she's told me to do on my own mixed with her amazing sessions! I can finally rest the full 6 to 8 hours a night, and that means the world to me. Thanks again Mrs. Duncan! Your truly an angel 🙏

I have been having some upper back pain for about a year that has been making my neck very stiff and just after two sessions my neck feels the best it has had in months. Her hands are the truth!
