TESTIMONIALS
After developing post-surgical swelling and inflammation, I was fearful that my life activities would be limited and that my condition was out of my control and would just continue to get worse. Vanessa changed all that and has put me on a very positive and motivated track. Being her client has truly been life-changing for me.
–Judith C.Vanessa has decades of lymphatic system expertise, a fact that reveals itself in every session. She is like a conductor creating a unique symphony for each appointment based on my unique conditions that day. She also concerns herself with her clients’ minds and hearts. Vanessa helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin again. She helped my spouse do a 180-degree turn, from his literally hands-off approach to my condition and care, to learning to take part in my regular home lymphatic massage.
–Jessica G.Vanessa’s lymphatic therapy has been amazing. It’s been life-changing, both physically and emotionally, for my recovery.
