I came to this work because I've lived it. As someone who has experienced plastic surgery firsthand — both the profound difference that exceptional aftercare makes, and the disorienting gap when that care is absent — I understand what my clients are navigating in a way that goes beyond clinical training.

That personal experience shaped everything about how I built Healwell. The quality of care you receive after surgery should match the investment you made in it. Your recovery deserves the same level of expertise, attention, and professionalism as the procedure itself. That belief is at the heart of every session I provide.

I am a licensed massage therapist in Oregon and a certified manual lymphatic drainage practitioner (MLD-C) trained in the internationally recognized Vodder technique. I hold advanced training in post-surgical aftercare, with the clinical judgment required to work safely and effectively with postoperative aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery patients. I am also a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), which informs my work with lipedema clients — a population I am specially trained to support through conservative care that includes manual lymphatic drainage, client education, and nutritional guidance.

My practice focuses on post-surgical recovery, medical massage, and lymphatic health — working with clients at some of the most physically and emotionally vulnerable moments of their lives. I take that responsibility seriously.
