Total Lymphatic Care-TLC
What is the lymphatic system? The lymphatic system network is situated in several areas of the body with a specific drainage pathway for each area. You’ll find the largest number of nodes in your groin, neck, and underarms. If the lymphatic system is compromised and the system is not able to move the fluid effectively the presence of swelling, edema, can be felt and seen. When choosing your therapist understanding the different degrees of training and skill are wise to consider who and where you will receive your care.
MLD"Manual lymphatic therapy" refers specifically to the massage technique used to stimulate the lymphatic system by gently moving fluid towards lymph nodes, while "CLT" stands for "Certified Lymphedema Therapist," meaning a healthcare professional specifically trained to perform manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and manage lymphatic disorders, including lymphedema, with a more comprehensive approach including compression bandaging and patient education; essentially, a CLT is a practitioner qualified to perform manual lymphatic therapy as part of a larger treatment plan for lymphedema patients.
My mission is to provide a variety of approaches that will assist in your healing with an emphasis on the lymphatic system as well as the whole body. If the lymph system is affected, it can cause a dysfunction with movement and flow of fluid. If the fluid isn't able to move the swelling may create a loss in range of motion and movement.

Testimonials
"I have been getting lymphatic massages for the past eight years but when I met Kit over a year ago I was absolutely sold. I had finally found THE TOP lymphatic massage therapist in Arizone. As an NFL Cheerleader, she is the only person I allow to work on my body. No one compares to the magic touch of her hands, the healing I have received, and her expertise is untouchable. After each session not only do I feel better, but I have learned more about my body and how to take care of it better because of Kit." Regina Flange(fictitous name to protect identity)
"Kit is amazing and so knowledgeable! I started seeing Kit on a weekly basis after having lipo 360 with a Brazilian Butt Lift. When she told me on my first visit that she was going to massage me for 90 minutes tears came down my face because the previous massage therapist hurt me so bad and it was rough getting through 30 minutes. I found out quickly that Kit was the opposite.The time flew by and after every visit I gained more mobility and felt great! I would recommend her to anyone who needs lymphatic massages especially after cosmetic surgery." Athena(a fictitious name to protect identity)
