📌 Lipedema vs Lymphedema: Know the Difference

Many people confuse lipedema and lymphedema — but they’re very different conditions.

💎 Lipedema
▪️ A fat disorder, mostly in women
▪️ Symmetrical fat buildup (hips, thighs, legs — rarely the feet)
▪️ Painful, tender, easy bruising
▪️ Often triggered by hormones or genetics
▪️ Not caused by diet or lifestyle

💧 Lymphedema
▪️ Caused by damage or blockage in the lymphatic system
▪️ Swelling usually in one limb
▪️ Skin may feel tight or thick
▪️ Can result from surgery, cancer treatment, or infection
▪️ Needs lymphatic drainage / compression

🌿 MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) is highly beneficial for both conditions — helping reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support healing.

✨ If you’re struggling with either, you’re not alone — support and relief are available.

Hi, I’m Tatjana – a clinical massage therapist specializing in post-operative recovery, oncology care, scar therapy and reflexology.
I focus on Manual Lymphatic Drainage and supporting people living with lymphoedema.

I’m regularly supporting oncology clients through their recovery journey, and I always give my full care, and compassion to help them feel better—physically and emotionally.

On July 12th, I’m taking part in Pretty Muddy® – a 5K muddy obstacle race – to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. I see the impact of cancer daily, and I want to do even more to help.

Every donation, big or small, helps fund life-saving research and supports those affected by cancer.
💖 Every penny truly matters.

Please support me – together, we can make a difference.

No matter how cancer touches our lives, life is worth Racing For.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support. 💕 https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/tatjanas-race-for-life-30


Cancer Research UK Race for Life

Every time I support a client recovering from surgery—especially cancer—I’m reminded why I do what I do. This work is deeply personal to me. I lost my dad to gastric cancer when he was just fortynine, and I was only seventeen. That pain never fully leaves, but it has fueled my purpose. I'm so grateful to be able to offer even a small amount of relief, comfort, or strength to those going through the toughest times. Holding space for healing is an honour I don't take lightly.

Want Better-Looking Scars? Start here!

Silicone sheets, gels, and oils aren’t just skincare — they’re scar therapy.

Here’s why they matter:
• Hydration & protection: Silicone locks in moisture, softening and flattening scars.
• Reduces redness & itchiness: Helps calm inflammation and soothes the area.
• Boosts confidence: Better healing = smoother skin and less visible scarring.
• Clinically proven: Silicone is one of the top dermatologist-recommended treatments for scar management.

Whether it's post-surgery, acne, burns, or injury — don’t skip the silicone step in your recovery routine.

Supporting Healing, One Gentle Touch at a Time
Cancer treatment is tough—and recovery doesn’t stop when the treatment ends. That’s where MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) and Scar Therapy step in.

Gentle MLD can help reduce swelling, improve lymph flow, and bring relief after surgery or radiation. Scar therapy softens and mobilizes scar tissue, helping with comfort, movement, and confidence.

Every step matters. Every touch counts.
Let’s show some love to those on the healing journey. You’re not alone.

Tatjana
