Lymphedema

Lymphedema management can be overwhelming, confusing and just downright time consuming! Ongoing care and support from Pink Ribbon Lymphatic Massage can add vitality, resilience and educational support as you settle into your new routine. Or, maybe you have the daily activities down and you just want to relax and know that your massage therapist has the highest level of certification possible and will provide you with gold star care. I am here to help you at whatever stage you are in on your lymphedema journey.

I will always encourage you to return to your therapist if your swelling warrants more treatment. It's good to have an extra set of eyes to identify swelling before it becomes more advanced. Patients typically schedule monthly or bimonthly.

Oncology
My oncology patients are my heroes! it's a tough road and the courage I have witnessed humbles me greatly. Yes, even if you were scared YOU WERE BRAVE! If you cried or were cranky, so what! You have been through a lot and your body has experienced a lot of trauma and your mind has endured tremendous stress.

I have dedicated my practice to easing hearts, minds and bodies through massage and lymphatic therapy. It would be an honor to schedule you for an appointment. Appointments are scheduled as needed for each individual, and are based on your unique

Post Surgical Swelling
Lymphatic massage can assist your body to decrease swelling. With surgical trauma, your body can often be overwhelmed by swelling.

Post COVID Syndrome
I was one of the first providers to begin working with COVID-19 patients in the hospital and ICU. Nope, it's not a flue, it is real and it can have long lasting effects that are currently not well understood.

Leading-edge Lymphatic Therapists across the Globe are now using Neuro lymphatic massage to help rid the body of inflammatory cytokines and other metabolic waste in the body brought on by this illness. Manual Lymphatic Drainage, if done by a trained professional, can gently assist the lymphatic system of the brain and central nervous system to work at its highest capacity, ridding the body of inflammatory materials that may be affecting both energy and mood.

COVID long-haulers (AKA Post COVID Syndrome) are encouraged to schedule weekly.
