🌿 Lipedema is real, common, and often overlooked.
It’s a connective tissue disorder where painful, fibrotic fat builds up (usually in the legs and/or arms) and doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. It mostly affects women, often appearing around the big hormonal changes - puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. Symptoms can include heaviness, tenderness, easy bruising, and swelling that spares the feet.
Unfortunately, many people are misdiagnosed with “just obesity” or “just swelling” and told to lose weight - when lipedema fat simply doesn’t respond that way. Delayed diagnosis, lack of insurance coverage, and the daily discomfort are huge barriers for clients. Many go years without knowing what's actually happening to their body.
✨ Where we come in: Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) can’t “remove” lipedema fat, but it can help ease pain, tenderness, and swelling, support compression, and make daily life more comfortable.
For clients choosing surgery (liposuction), we offer gentle, surgeon-aligned post-op care: gentle MLD, support with compression, scar and fibrosis work (when cleared), and clear communication with your care team if you want.
đź’š Our philosophy is simple: science-based, safe, validating care that respects your body and your goals. You deserve to feel heard and supported on this journey.
