With Lipoedema
I found Lisa almost 10 years ago online after searching for a local, knowledgeable MLD therapists who also had expertise in lipedema. From my first appointment through to now I have had the best experience, I always feel so great after MLDs with Lisa, any specific pains/concerns I have at the time of apnt she works more on with different techniques during my sessions and is very helpful with recommendations and advice.
After having lipedema surgery 18 months ago I am grateful to continue with regular MLDs to get the best results for my recovery (which has been huge) and she has supported me so much through this change to my health/lifestyle and I will continue to see her ongoing. Having MLD treatments have been so beneficial for me and I look forward to these appointments.
I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone, you will get the best care. 😊

Lisa is a gem! I stumbled upon her website and *knew* I needed to see her. I find Lisa to be a great listener and very caring in her approach. I will definitely be back… and I highly recommend Lisa.

What is Lymphoedema? Lymphoedema Awareness Week 2026
March is Lymphoedema Awareness Month, and this year’s Lymphoedema Awareness Week (2–8 March 2026) carries the powerful theme “United in Care. Diverse in Practice.” In this blog, I go back to basics and answer the question I hear most often in clinic: What actually is lymphoedema, and why has no one ever explained my lymphatic system to me? We’ll explore how and why lymphoedema is often missed, what primary and secondary lymphoedema really are, and the simple, conservative treatments that can make this chronic condition genuinely manageable. My hope is that you’ll come away feeling more informed, less alone, and more supported by the diverse community of professionals and lived-experience voices who are united in your care.
Let’s Get Real About “Miracle” Lipoedema Cures
Lipoedema awareness is rising, and so are the “miracle cure” products targeting people who are desperate for relief. In this post, I walk you through how to spot red flags, what treatments actually have evidence behind them (like compression, pumps, vibration plates and MLD), and how to find professionals who truly understand lipoedema so you can feel more in control of your care.
Moving house when you live an alternative lifestyle
You guessed it! I’ve moved house. Well, apartment actually. I’d been living in a converted unit under the owners for the last seven years and after multiple backed up toilets, leaky taps, lack of privacy and bin wars (don’t get me started) it was time to move. But....
