Lymphedema is a condition in which parts of the body swell due to the inability of the lymphatic system to drain a certain area. Some people are born with this condition, others develop it after an event like lymph node removal or radiation. Treatment for both types of lymphedema are the same: compression, MLD, exercise and skin care.

Noticing a swollen lymph node isn't immediate cause for alarm! It could just be a sign the system is working and the swelling will decrease over time. It could also just be a superficial node thats healthy and can be felt through the skin.

If you notice a swollen node, track it for a week or two. If the swelling gets worse or is accompanied by pain or other physical symptoms, then its a good idea to get it checked out.

I get this question from time to time. There is no evidence to suggest that MLD spreads cancer and is in fact recommended for some living with or in treatment for cancer. Always check with your doc first, of course.

Officially a Certified Lymphedema Therapist!! 🥲

I integrated manual lymphatic drainage into my massage practice 4.5 years ago. In that time, I've helped so many people with all types of conditions improve their lymphatic function.

But when clients would come in with lymphedema or other types of chronic edema, I knew there was more that I could be doing or teaching to help manage their symptoms.

This course freshened up my manual therapy skills, taught me about compression wrapping/garments, and other ways to help reduce and manage chronic swelling.

I also met a ton of really fantastic, dedicated and passionate practitioners. The folks in this field have the biggest hearts and always inspire me!

Im so excited to take what I learned back to the clients already coming to see me and those I've yet to meet!

My goal is always to provide the highest caliber bodywork possible. I've invested so much time and energy into providing safe and effective work because I genuinely love to do it!!

It's an honor to do this work and to be trusted with bodies of all kinds ❤️
