I recently had the opportunity to provide Lymphatic Massage and post-surgical care to an inspiring young client who underwent a DIEP flap procedure following a mastectomy.

As someone who regularly works with post-cancer clients, I was truly impressed by how natural and clean the results looked-this was my first time seeing a DIEP flap outcome up close.

Cold weather is one of the main triggering factors of the Raynaud’s reaction.The following pictures are within a 60 second time frame as circulation increases to my finger and returns to normal color. It can be very painful for some.
Raynaud’s phenomenon is where your blood stops flowing properly to your fingers and toes. It’s common and does not usually cause severe problems. You can often treat the symptoms yourself by keeping warm. Sometimes it can be a sign of a more serious condition.
