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.
