Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Massage Therapy

30 Years of Therapeutic Wisdom in Santa Cruz
For three decades, I have been fortunate to serve the Santa Cruz community as a massage therapist and Klose Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CAMTC #63540). My journey has led me through training in several healing modalities—from Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Oncology Massage to Myofascial Release—but the real teacher has always been you, the client. Personalized, Therapeutic Approaches
Each session draws from a rich palette of healing modalities, artfully combined to address your unique needs. Manual Lymphatic Drainage — Gentle, rhythmic techniques to enhance lymph flow
Oncology Massage — Safe, supportive touch during and after cancer treatment
Myofascial Release — Releasing tension in the body’s connective tissue network
Antifibrotic Techniques — Specialized methods to address tissue hardening
Scar Mobilization — Compassionate work to improve mobility and sensation
Cupping & Gua Sha — Ancient methods to release fascial restrictions and improve circulation

These modalities are never applied as one-size-fits-all treatments, but rather woven together intuitively in response to your body’s wisdom and needs. I Will Help You…

Informed Lymphedema Care After Cancer
As a massage therapist living with lymphedema after breast cancer, my professional approach has been deeply informed by personal experience. When lymphedema appeared following my cancer treatment, I discovered firsthand the importance of skilled manual lymphatic drainage. This experience enhanced my existing practice with:

Specialized techniques
A nuanced understanding of client needs
Insights no textbook could provide
Living with lymphedema has taught me the physical sensations, daily adaptations, and effectiveness of various treatment approaches. This insight allows me to provide care that’s both technically precise and genuinely empathetic. It is important to me to create a space where:
Your concerns are heard
Your questions are welcomed
Your comfort is prioritized

Every session focuses entirely on your unique needs and healing process.
