Santa Cruz Integrative Lymphatic Therapy
30 Years of Healing Wisdom
For three decades, I have been fortunate to serve the Santa Cruz community as a massage therapist and Klose Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CAMTC #63540).
My journey has led me through training in several healing modalities—from Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Oncology Massage to Myofascial Release— but the real teacher has always been you, the client.







Each session is a collaboration where your body’s wisdom guides my hands.
Personalized, Therapeutic Approaches
Each session draws from a rich palette of healing modalities, artfully combined to address your unique needs.
These modalities are never applied as one-size-fits-all treatments, but rather woven together intuitively in response to your body’s wisdom and needs.

Informed Lymphedema Care After Cancer
As a massage therapist living with lymphedema after breast cancer, my professional approach has been deeply informed by personal experience. When lymphedema appeared following my cancer treatment, I discovered firsthand the importance of skilled manual lymphatic drainage.
This experience enhanced my existing practice with:
- Specialized techniques
- A nuanced understanding of client needs
- Insights no textbook could provide
Living with lymphedema has taught me the physical sensations, daily adaptations, and effectiveness of various treatment approaches. This insight allows me to provide care that’s both technically precise and genuinely empathetic.
It is important to me to create a space where:
- Your concerns are heard
- Your questions are welcomed
- Your comfort is prioritized
Every session focuses entirely on your unique needs and healing process.
What to Expect
- Sessions typically last between 75 to 90 minutes, providing ample time to focus on your individual needs with thoughtful care and attention.
- Each appointment begins with a brief consultation to discuss your current concerns and goals, ensuring a personalized approach to your treatment.
