What exactly does a Lymphedema Therapist do?
I’m a water specialist, of the body that is. Anything that swells is my specialty!

Post surgical edema:
Dr. Parkins does amazing work (Parkins Plastic Surgery)! I have the great privilege of helping patients reduce post surgical swelling, and recover more quickly.

Chronic Lymphedema:
Invasive, yet lifesaving surgeries such as mastectomy, and other oncology surgeries, can leave the lymphatic system “under construction” and backed up. I have the great opportunity to work with some amazing individuals, in helping to “detour” the stagnant fluid.

Other applications in which Manual Lymph Drainage has helped patients:

Concussion, ear infection, post acute trauma, chronic sinusitis, tinnitus, trigeminal neuralgia, shingles, fibromyalgia, and so much more!

Hope you enjoyed learning a little about what I do! Words are always so much better with a great picture, so hope you also enjoyed these pictures taken here on Silver Lake, after a hard days work 😉

It was such a treat being pampered by a couple of sweet, thoughtful young gals!
They set up a whole spa with treats, nail polish and my massage table.

Happy Morher’s Day!

If you call and I don’t answer, I’m either out giving a MASSAGE or basking in the beautiful rays on the lake.
Please try back, leave a voicemail or send a text! I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!

A lady came up to me at the Lake Walk today and said, “ I just wanted to say Thank You! My sister recently committed su***de because she just couldn’t take her lymphedema any longer. I don’t think enough people realize the real struggles some people live with, AFTER their battle with cancer is over!”
There are options to help those struggling with the side effects of cancer treatment! Please let your loved ones know! 💞

I went out to an in home appointment today and found these gems on the way home! Get out and support a local grower today :)

As I was driving I remembered my youngest child's request as I left the house, "Can you stop at the store on the way home and get me a box of little baby tomatoes that I don't have to share with anyone?"

It's always a humbling experience to work on children. It's not uncommon for kids to have knots in their muscles, tissue congestion, or an overall sluggish system. They may "act like children", but they rarely complain of their discomforts and pains. As adults, we feel entitled to complain about our physical (and emotional) pains and sometimes even justify our attitudes and actions because of the way we feel.
I'm often out on appointments at bedtime or doing dishes, so I haven't been doing as many bedtime massages. Tonight one said, "I have ringing in my ears. Can I have a massage?" I started working on him to eliminate the tinnitus, but quickly found some knots and congestion. "How did you know it hurt there? I didn't even know that it was sore until you pushed on it!", he said. "This is kind of my specialty. That's why people pay me the big bucks.", I responded. After working out a few of the problem areas, I said, "Okay, how do you feel?" "Great!", he shouted as he jumped up and ran off. He acts like a different child after having been worked on for even a little bit. The next time a child acts up or gets easily frustrated, think about giving him/her a little massage. Even if your not a professional, a little good touch goes a long way. Healthy, positive touch can help one relax and allow his/her body and mind to let go of tension and stress.

Have a wonderful night!

The kids had some fun wrapping a mummy at The Field Museum. My daughter excitedly told the worker, "My mom wraps people!"

So my husband clarified for everyone, "She doesn't wrap mummies. She's a lymphedema therapist."

That's a wrap!

A BIG Thank you to all those who supported and encouraged me!
