What an incredible opportunity to learn the Perrin Technique from Dr. Raymond Perrin himself.

Dr. Perrin is an osteopath and neuroscientist based in the UK who has helped countless individuals all over the world suffering from ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and long covid. I am excited to see his research and outcomes continue to gain traction and recognition as more studies continue to be conducted!

Much love and respect to .michelle for all the amazing work you do with this population and for letting me know about the workshop.

4 weeks post-surgery! I am feeling great and wanted to share a few things that have helped me.

For the first two weeks, my surgeon wanted me wearing compression 24/7. The Hugger Prima bra was a game changer for my comfort and pain management. I have been recommending this bra to my lymphedema patients for years and now I can say from first hand experience that it really provides great compression, containment, and coverage. I also used a wedge pillow to keep my upper body slightly inclined during sleep.

After week 2, I started light scar work with extra care because of the tissue rearrangement that was done. There were a couple small fibrotic spots developing and I was ready to get out of the heavier duty Prairie Wear bra so I transitioned to the Comprevest with the full radial chip pad insert. This bra is much lighter and more comfortable, and I love that you can insert different chip pads based on patient needs. Both bras have great axilla coverage (shown in the second picture), and although I didn't need it, this is always on my mind as a

In weeks 3 and 4, I started slightly firmer scar work. Oh, and of course you know your girl's been performing self-MLD this whole time!

2 more weeks until I'm clear of all my restrictions and back in full effect! Many thanks to my clients and patients who have been so understanding and supportive throughout my recovery. I appreciate everyone's texts and messages SO MUCH πŸ₯° I can't wait to see y'all again soon!

Today I underwent a wire-directed segmental resection (basically a lumpectomy) of flat epithelial atypia in my breast (i.e. potentially pre-cancerous cells).

Normally I'm a very private person... But in honor of , a belated , and as I still mourn the recent passing of my beloved young friend, from her battle with breast cancer, the timing of this post just seems so fitting. I would really like to highlight the importance of cancer screenings. Early detection and treatment saves lives.

Through an MRI-guided, vacuum assisted, core biopsy in late 2023, the atypical cells were found in my left breast. After having a conversation with my surgeon, and maybe due to the fact that I work with so many , I decided to have them removed. What each person decides to do for their treatment is their own personal choice and should be respected, but having as much information as possible before making a decision is so very important.

I am so grateful to have an incredible surgeon like and to have received such excellent care at . Now I wait for the final pathology report 🀞 I am feeling great so far but I will be out of commission for a while due to my lifting restrictions. I promise I will be a good patient, Dr. Khan πŸ˜…

If you've been putting off your screening, please consider this a sign to go now 🩷

As an entrepreneur, I am always inspired when I meet amazing people like Jay Park aka who have accomplished such incredible things yet stay so humble. To go from musical artist to starting a record label and now launching so that he can introduce Korean soju to the world is no small feat.

Nope, this has nothing to do with lymphatics, but I truly love when I meet such inspiring humans. Thank you for the business advice, Jay - I will always stay true to my heart 🫢

Plus, anyone who has ever worked with me knows my deep love for kpop πŸ˜‚

Hello world! I think it's about time I formally introduce myself for those who do not know me yet.

πŸ€— My name is Tina and I am the owner/therapist at OC Lymphatics. I am a doctor of occupational therapy, a certified lymphedema therapist, and LANA certified specialist, which is the highest level of credentialing available in North America.

✌️ While completing my doctoral residency and fellowship at the Keck Medical Center of USC, I was introduced to and quickly fell in love with the world of lymphatics. In fact, I still work there as a senior therapist which keeps me on my toes as I treat some of the most complex lymphatic cases and get to train and teach future amazing therapists. Go trojans!

πŸ€“ I've had the honor of speaking at various conferences across the US (and hopefully globally in the near future) and am a published author (DM for journal articles!)

πŸ₯³ Where the FUN comes in for me is through blending my experience with the MEDICAL world of lymphatics with the AESTHETIC world as I help people recover from cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. There's a lot of wild stuff going on out there and I use science to inform my treatments.

πŸ™ˆ I am admittedly not a big social media person but I hope to get better at sharing some occasional content that might be helpful to folks out there!

πŸ’œ My passions in emojis: πŸŒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‚πŸΌπŸŽ£βœˆοΈπŸœπŸ’†β€β™€οΈ

I would love to get to know you as well! Drop a comment πŸ‘‡ and say hello!

Much love,

β—πŸ‘‡ Please read πŸ‘‡β—

Emilia Dewi, aka , is an amazing lymphedema therapist, passionate educator, and selfless advocate who could now use a little love and support from all of us.

As ironically wraps up, I would like to share a GoFundMe that has been set up to help Emilia as she prepares to undergo surgery for her stage 3 breast cancer:

https://gofund.me/31598a77

Emilia and my passion for the brought us together shortly after she received her diagnosis. Since then, we've shared many delicious meals together, had long conversations about complex cases, and even presented at the same lymphedema symposium. She is a fierce fighter who has been battling hard over the last year, and will now be going down to Mexico for her surgery. This means she will be paying out of pocket for her treatments. Please consider making a contribution of any amount to help her cover her expenses.

Emilia, you got this, girl!! πŸ’ͺ Looking forward to hearing your stories after you conquer this!! πŸ‘Š
