Have you or a loved one had a surgery, injury, or issue that needs special attention? Worried that you will “make it worse” or “do it wrong”? Are you still uncomfortable or in pain, unsatisfied with your results, or “just living with it”…?
Lymphatic Massage CAN BEGIN as soon as 3 Days after surgery, as long as it does not disturb stitches. It can be at a distance from the site, and still be beneficial. Scar Softening can be started at 2-4 weeks post-op.
Adhesions and scars can be softened, swelling can be reduced, improvement can be made, even after YEARS. I’ve seen amazing things happen, especially when there has been no hands-on healing.

I’m here, as a highly trained massage therapist & health professional, to give you confidence, clarity, and proven methods that will increase the body’s natural healing process. Your individual physiology and medical history will dictate what might happen or what is possible. I understand what happens in the OR, I’ve been there several times!
In each case, your intervention is to support progress, but not overdo anything. I recommend we have 3 meetings of 40 minutes each. Or 2 meetings 1 hour each, Your Choice. *You can book more hours, if needed, at the same rate $60-75/hr.
Gentle, rhythmic, lymphatic massage, and slow, persistent progressive scar softening can make a dramatic difference in how quickly you heal, and how “back to normal” things are in a reasonable amount of time.
My experience with hundreds of post-surgical and injury cases gives me great perspective on how to gain the best results. Your case is VERY SPECIFIC and I customize a path for progress, just for you! We discuss everything in great detail, and make wise and collaborative choices with your Medical Team.
Your body is ready to heal itself as soon as it gets hurt, sending out glue (collagen fibroblasts) to seal any wounds, pouring extra lymph fluid (induration) into sprains & strains to immobilize them and stop further injury. This starts to make scar tissue and inflammation, both of which are NATURAL HEALING RESPONSES, and we don’t want to interfere with their benefits. I know what steps to take, and when.
You can watch video demos from my Youtube channel to follow along with our virtual meetings. You will receive resources, references, Post-Surgical Therapy Chapter from my Book to print out and look over, and our conversations will evolve into better understanding. I am always ready to adapt and adjust as healing takes place at its own pace.
