about

I’ve been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2017, and over the years I’ve found myself especially drawn to lymphatic work and the way it can help people feel more comfortable, less swollen, and more at ease in their bodies.

My focus on Manual Lymphatic Drainage began with training under Elisa DeFalco of MLD Institute International through Evergreen Certifications. I’ve continued expanding my education through additional lymphatic and clinical training, including work with Dr. Perry Nicholson of Stop Chasing Pain, which deepened my understanding of the lymphatic system and the pathways that support healthy flow throughout the body.

I love combining traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage with thoughtful, individualized techniques based on what each client needs that day. My approach is gentle, calming, and never rushed. I also enjoy helping clients understand what may be contributing to swelling or stagnation and sharing simple ways they can support their lymphatic system between sessions.

Some of the most rewarding work is helping those recovering from surgery. There could be swelling lingering months or sometimes years after surgery in any area of the body. I make sure to adapt each session to the stage of healing and the needs of the individual. I also work with clients dealing with general swelling, heaviness, or discomfort, as well as those who simply want a deeply relaxing massage experience.

Creating Magnolia Lymphatic Studio has given me the opportunity to build the kind of space I’ve always wanted for my clients: comfortable, welcoming, personal, and centered around truly individualized care.

One of my favorite things to hear after a session is, “I feel so much lighter.”

I look forward to taking care of You!
