Who Are My Clients?
People with
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), also known as Ambulatory Venous Hypertension, is most often diagnosed in people who have varicose veins.
CVI is usually caused by failing valves in veins that allow blood to flow back towards the feet instead of being pushed back towards the heart.
The result of this backwards flow of blood is swelling in the legs and feet which can cause symptoms from mild discomfort and ill-fitting shoes to constant pain and burning.
CVI can even progress to where a patient develops venous ulcers, a type of vascular wound. Because blood flow around the area is compromised, the ulcers can easily become infected.
For people who have Chronic Venous Insufficiency I provide Electro-Lymphatic or Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Compression Bandaging, Compression Garments, and Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy.
These therapies:
- Reduce Swelling
- Lead to Healing of Venous Ulcerations
- Reduce Pain
- Improve of Skin Health



How I Help People
with These Specific Conditions
While technically speaking I am a Massage Therapist by license, I rely primarily on my skills as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist to perform my duties.
That means if you come to me, you should not be expecting a spa-type massage. I work with the Lymphatic System doing what is called Lymphatic Drainage. Lymphatic Drainage is also often referred to as “Lymphatic Massage.”
While it is technically not massage, I do refer to it as “Lymphatic Massage” often on this website because that is the common term that people search for in Google.
Despite not being a massage, Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle, non-invasive, and super relaxing technique that moves lymph through the body. People often drift off to sleep during a session.
Lymphatic Drainage uses a light form of touch, but it should not be considered something that barely has any effect on the body. Lymphatic Drainage is one of the most powerful forms of bodywork that you can get. It impacts every system of your body in a good way.
Many people who are used to therapies like Deep Tissue Massage might dismiss lymphatic work because of its light touch. In fact, they might be the people who appreciate it the most once they have experienced it as its effects are profound.

So, What is Lymph?
Everyone has a lymphatic system, just like everyone has a circulatory system. The lymphatic system is a second circulatory system that is absolutely critical to our overall health.
It is responsible for the transport of the immune system (how we fight infection), the absorption and transport of fat-soluble vitamins, and the movement of fluid containing wastes from our tissues. Read in-depth about the lymphatic system here.
