Both Celine and I like to develop a strong relationship with our clients and provide them with the best care at every treatment.

I'm now fully booked for January, then have surgery end of January which will see me completely off work for 6 weeks.

I truly appreciate the support everyone has given me, and that support extends when you book in with Vicki or Celine, which keeps my business running.

I would like to wish my clients a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and best wishes for 2026.🥂

I've been a bit quiet on social media....
I currently still suck at the whole rest and relax thing, and although I have maintained 2 days work since November, I have managed to fill my days with so many other activities and appointments which has left little time to keep up with regular posts ! 😬

I have my last chemotherapy treatment on the 30th December, then surgery end of January.📆

A big thank you to and , that have helped keep my clinic running and they are locked in for next year, so just jump online to book.
Vicki works Mondays, mainly lymphatic and reflexology treatments .
Celine works Wednesday and Thursdays and has been getting a big thumbs up from my clients who are looking for a deep/therapeutic massage or a healing relaxation massage,plus I'm training her in Lymphatics. 💕

A thank you to my clients who have supported me and my business, everything from txt/ph calls, taking me out for coffee or a walk, meals and buying massage vouchers for friends and loved ones. 🥰

It's been a tough year for me and there will be many changes I will be making in 2026, so I hope you stick around and watch things unfold, all for the better!❤️

The picture of me was taken 2.5 weeks ago at the Arrowtown Long lunch with the best bunch of girlfriends, my beautiful sister in law bought me a wig , such a lovely gift that allows me to look how I used to be 😁

Enjoy your summer break, and cherish the time with your family and loved ones 💗

What Patients Aren’t Told Before a mastectomy—


Too many breast cancer patients go into a mastectomy without ever being educated about lymphedema — even though lymph nodes are often removed or affected during treatment.
This information should be given before surgery, not after symptoms begin.🩵🩷

Here’s what every patient should know:🩵🩷

🔹 What lymphedema is—
A chronic condition caused by damage to the lymphatic system, leading to swelling in the arm, breast, chest, or back.🩵🩷

🔹 Why it happens after breast cancer treatment—
Lymph node removal and radiation can interrupt lymph flow.
Lymphedema may appear immediately, months later, or years later.🩵🩷

🔹 Early warning signs—
• heaviness
• tightness or pulling
• swelling in hand, arm, breast, or chest
• skin thickening
• rings or sleeves becoming tighter on one side🩵🩷

🔹 Why early action matter—
Early care can slow or prevent progression and make symptoms much easier to manage.🩵🩷

🔹 Prevention basics—
• protect the arm and skin
• avoid infections or injuries
• moisturize daily
• watch for sudden or one-sided swelling
• know when to see a certified lymphedema therapist
• learn the right type of compression🩵🩷

🔹 Treatment Options
These should be explained before surgery as well:
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – by a trained therapist
• Compression garments – sleeves, bras, chest binders
• Pneumatic compression pumps – home-use devices
• Exercise therapy – guided, gentle movements to improve flow
• Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) – the gold standard (MLD + compression + exercise + skin care)
• Surgery options – lymph node transfer, lymphovenous bypass (for select patients)
• Infection management – quick treatment for cellulitis risks🩵🩷

🔹 What patients are rarely told—
Lymphedema isn’t rare.
It isn’t “just swelling.”
And it deserves clear education before treatment ever begins.🩵🩷

Breast cancer patients deserve complete information — not surprises later.🦋
