YOUR LIPOEDEMA CARE
BACKED BY CERTIFICATION

Lipoedema is a complex condition, and effective care must be individual, considered, and tailored around you.

Research and understanding in lipoedema are constantly evolving, and choosing a therapist who truly understands the condition can feel incredibly empowering. It means receiving care that’s informed, up to date, and grounded in a deeper understanding of how lipoedema behaves and how it can be managed long-term.

As a therapist who is genuinely passionate about supporting those with lipoedema, I make it a priority to keep my knowledge and training continually up to date. As research grows, so does my approach — allowing my treatments and your self-care toolbox to evolve alongside the latest best practices.

My certification in lipoedema management allows me to offer more than just a treatment.
It means:
✨ the ability to assess and diagnose lipoedema
✨ tailored sessions based on your stage, type, symptoms, and assessment
✨ Manual Lymphatic Drainage and additional modalities to support your comfort and management
✨ support that extends far beyond the treatment table
✨ guidance in building a sustainable management plan
✨ compassionate care designed to help you feel understood and supported
✨ advice on compression

Lipoedema care is about ongoing management and building a strong toolkit of support. I am able to signpost you to other professionals I highly regard, so you can build a strong, supportive team around you.

Tori’s First Day in the Clinic! ✨

Tori had her first day working from my gorgeous clinic today, offering Brazilian Wellness Lymphatic Drainage treatments.

Trained personally by me, she was fully booked and worked her magic all day — getting fluid moving, reducing bloating, and leaving clients feeling lighter, sculpted, and energised. 💫

She will be back soon!

Please note — Tori is not offering Medical Manual Lymphatic Drainage. If you require this specialised approach, appointments will need to be booked with me directly. 🤍

This is one of those moments that reminds me exactly why I love what I do!

This lovely lady has been living with fibrosis, congested lymph, and scarring since her surgery over 23 years ago. Her daughter, a long-standing client of mine, booked her in during her recent visit, and we began with a full consultation and assessment.

You could visibly see the impact her cancer treatment had left — the lumpy texture (fibrosis and scarring), tightness, and discomfort that had restricted her clothing choices, comfort, and range of movement for so long.

After just the first treatment, the change was incredible — both visually and in how she felt. She’s since returned for two more sessions close together, and each time, the progress has continued to build.

Her words say it best:
💬 “Twenty-three years ago I had a radical mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. I have had three sessions of lymphatic and scar tissue treatment with Abigail. The left side of my body feels released and comfortable. The appearance of my reconstruction looks so much better with Abigail resolving longstanding lumps. After twenty-three years I did not expect such massive improvement.”

It’s moments like these that bring all my extensive training and advanced techniques together, combining knowledge, precision, and care to create meaningful, lasting change.

These are the transformations that remind me how powerful skilled manual lymphatic drainage and scar tissue work can be — even decades later.

✨ Expert Lymphatic Care for Every Stage ✨

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition, or simply supporting your wellbeing, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) offers powerful benefits for healing, balance, and renewal.

As an MLD UK registered therapist, I specialise in a full range of treatments — including post-surgery recovery, fibrosis and scar therapy, lymphoedema and lipoedema management, oncology, and pregnancy/postpartum care.

Each treatment is tailored with precision, compassion, and expert knowledge so you can rest assured you’re in the very best of hands. 🤍

What is Mobiderm? ✨

Mobiderm is a medical foam designed to help manage chronic oedema and lymphoedema. It’s made of soft foam cubes that create gentle, uneven pressure when placed under a compression wrap or garment. This pressure difference helps:

Stimulate lymphatic flow 🙌🏽
Reduce and soften fibrotic tissue🙌🏽
Improve compression 🙌🏽
Support healing post-surgery and during long-term oedema care 🙌🏽

It’s a simple but powerful tool that often makes a big difference for people living with chronic swelling.

👉 If a Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapist doesn’t recognize Mobiderm, it may raise questions about their training—because it’s widely used in complex decongestive therapy (CDT/DLT), the gold standard for lymphoedema management.

New Therapist !

I’m so excited to introduce the lovely and talented Tori, who will be offering ad-hoc treatments at my new clinic starting October.

Tori brings over 20 years of hands-on experience working with the body, highly trained in Sports Therapy, Bowen Therapy, and various other holistic therapies.

I’m proud to say she’s also been trained by me! 💛

I’ve known Tori for 25 years — she’s firmly in my circle of trust, which my clients know is a BIG deal. Trusting someone to work under my umbrella doesn’t happen lightly.

Tori will be offering Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage, incorporating many of my own unique techniques. Please note: this is a wellness treatment, not to be confused with medical MLD.

✨ Bookings open end of September ✨

I’m so looking forward to this new chapter and can’t wait for you to meet her.

I have the privilege of working with a wonderful client who was experiencing chronic pain following multiple pelvic surgeries. We approached her journey with care and took things one step at a time.

To support her healing, we incorporated deep oscillation therapy, specialised scar therapy, and manual lymphatic drainage techniques. I’m thrilled to see her reclaiming her comfort and well-being.

Healing is a journey, and I’m grateful to be a part of hers! 💖✨

Thank you for the google review !

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is essential for effective treatment for managing lymphoedema. I am trained in the correct techniques and protocols to ensure you receive the best care possible to help you manage this chronic condition.

As a certified MLD therapist dealing with lymphoedema is what we are trained to do, the NHS unfortunately are rarely able to offer hands-on help.

Thank you for leaving a google review ❤️

I did double the amount of treatments last week than usual, which has been fabulous! However, my body definitely felt it last night!

My shoulders are protracted from positioning myself during treatments, and my abdomen feels sluggish and stagnant due to my hunched posture.

Spending time on my roller, practicing deep breathing, and literally reversing the positions I’ve held all week feels amazing.

My legs feel heavy, tight, and puffy, but using my vibration plate really helps.

As soon as I got home yesterday, I focused on self-care: I emptied the big 6, did some deep breathing, used my roller, and spent time on the vibration plate.

After that, I walked into town and had a fantastic meal at —can’t believe I haven’t eaten there before!

The bags in the background of the vibration plate video are my laundry for the week—not so fabulous!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage has traditionally been associated with women, but I’m seeing an increasing number of men seeking these treatments. 👏

Many initially come to address issues like post-surgery recovery, injury rehabilitation, or chronic pain. However, once they experience the benefits that regular sessions offer, they become regular clients.

From enhanced recovery times to reduced inflammation and improved overall vitality, manual lymphatic drainage proves valuable for everyone. As more men recognise the advantages of this therapy, they often adopt it as an essential part of their self-care routine.
