Living with lipedema can feel confusing, frustrating, and isolating — especially when symptoms are misunderstood or dismissed. This patient-focused workshop is designed to help you better understand your condition and feel more confident navigating your care.

Led by Lydia Straznicky, Physiotherapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), this session will provide clear, compassionate education on what lipedema is (and what it isn’t), how it progresses, and how it can affect your body, mobility, and quality of life. Lydia brings extensive clinical experience working with lipedema and lymphatic conditions and understands the physical and emotional realities of living with a chronic, often under-recognized diagnosis.

You’ll learn about practical strategies for managing symptoms, including:
Movement and exercise considerations for lipedema
Swelling, pain, and fatigue management
The role of compression and lymphatic support
How physiotherapy and other rehabilitation services can help
What to expect from conservative care — and when to seek further support
This workshop is ideal for individuals newly diagnosed with lipedema, those who suspect they may have lipedema, or anyone looking to better understand how to support their body with safe, evidence-based approaches. There will be time for questions, discussion, and reassurance — in a space where your experience is seen, validated, and respected.

Sessions will be taught live online via Zoom and are FREE. Please note, the workshop will not be recorded.

Date: February 25th, 2026
Time: 5:00-6:30pm

You do not need to be a current patient to attend these sessions.

Sometimes the most important part of recovery is the exhale you didn’t know you were holding.

Our hands-on care is designed to help your body shift out of protection and into rest. Whether you’re navigating cancer treatment, recovering from surgery, living with swelling or pain, or simply carrying more than your body was meant to hold alone, we’re here for you!

This isn’t just massage.

It’s nervous system support, gentle regulation, and a moment where your body doesn’t have to work so hard.

Devanshi completed her lymphatic training through the internationally recognized Dr. Vodder School, with extensive education in lymphedema management, chronic edema, and post-operative swelling.

Before becoming an RMT in Canada, Devanshi earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Physiotherapy in India, where she gained broad experience treating orthopedic, neurological, pediatric, and inpatient rehabilitation patients.

Meanwhile, her close friend Bernie, a mother of three, learns the devastating news that another pregnancy could prove fatal.

Dublin, 2023: A close call makes Saoirse realize that she may never want to be a mother. Little does she know that only a few decades ago, a group of women made this option possible for her. And she’s about to meet one of them…
