Have a look on on the Cancer Council Website for more details.

DLT is used for treatment in clients with Lymphodema or lipodema and those undergoing and recovering from bariatric surgery. PREGNANCY MASSAGE: I am a qualified Pregnancy Massage Practitioner. I can help you prior to conception, throughout the whole 40 weeks gestation managing both physical and physiological changes that occur during the pregnancy, preparation for labour for both yourself and your partner and post delivery when you're all settling in to the new family life. Psychosocial concerns have had an impact like never before. I believe that we have forgotten how to "let go and unwind". This is an issue close to my heart. Massage Therapy can help with positive affirmation of touch. I believe it is never too late, you can be the person you want to be. I also have vouchers available for purchase for you to use as gifts for people you feel can also benefit from massage treatments. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
