OC Lymphatics

Can I just take a moment to introduce you to my Bad@$$ client, ? Despite battling multiple complex conditions like lipedema, ME/chronic fatigue, MCAS, EDS and POTS for decades, she continues to fight fiercely, all while educating herself and others who are going through similar situations. She recently started a podcast where she shares all the knowledge she has acquired.

I was honored when she asked me to be a guest on her podcast to talk about the lymphatic system, lymphatic treatments, and post-surgical care. Please check out "Dear Body, I'm Listening" by Donna Piper on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you catch your podcasts.

Donna is not only full of valuable knowledge and lived experience, but she is a truly beautiful person inside and out. Please follow and support her in spreading awareness and wisdom about her chronic conditions.

Thank you for the interview and allowing me to share my story!

Many of my clients often ask me how I got into this line of work. Read all about it here and check out some other local stories:

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 🥰 I can't wait to see y'all again soon!
