I'm Jennifer Culbertson, a Licensed Massage Therapist and the founder of Midwest Lymphatic—a wellness practice focused on Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and advanced recovery therapies. My work is rooted in the belief that real healing happens when the body is supported with compassion, skill, and personalized care. I was first drawn to lymphatic therapy after seeing how profoundly it helped a close friend during her cancer journey. Supporting her through treatment and recovery opened my eyes to the critical role the lymphatic system plays in healing, resilience, and comfort—especially for those facing lymphedema or immune system challenges. Around the same time, I experienced the benefits of lymphatic drainage firsthand during my own post-surgical recovery. That combination of personal and professional insight deepened my dedication to making this work accessible to others. I’m certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage through Klose Training, with advanced instruction in the Vodder method—one of the most respected approaches worldwide. I also hold a specialty in post-plastic surgery lymphatic care from the Academy of Lymphatic Studies and have certification in scar release therapy through Dolphin Neurostim, allowing me to offer an integrative and effective approach to tissue healing. At Midwest Lymphatic, I provide tailored treatments for clients looking for relief from swelling, inflammation, fatigue, or surgical trauma. Many of my clients are recovering from cosmetic or medical procedures, managing chronic conditions, or simply looking to feel their best. I’m known for my gentle touch, deep empathy, and technical expertise—qualities that help create a space where people feel supported and renewed. Outside of my practice, I enjoy hiking, spending time with animals, watching classic films, and exploring art in all its forms. These passions keep me grounded, inspired, and connected to the beauty of everyday life. Ultimately, my mission is simple: to help others experience the transformative power of lymphatic therapy—just as I’ve seen it work in the lives of those I care about, and in my own healing journey.
