Tailored Lymphatic Health Services
NEW
Now offering Darwin women non-invasive hand-held lymphoedema measurement.
The LymphScanner (TGA registered Class IIa medical device) measures localised percentage water content (PWC) in lymphoedema of human skin allowing for:
-
Early detection: Spots hidden or early fluid build- up (dermal backflow) before major swelling is visible.
-
Cancer recovery: Frequently used for patients who had lymph nodes removed or treated during breast cancer, gynaecological, or melanoma surgeries.
-
Tracking treatment: Measures if physical therapy, drainage massage, or compression wraps are successfully reducing fluid over time.
For women pre-breast cancer treatment a PWC Baseline Assessment can be conducted to support early identification for lymphoedema post surgery. Find out why this is crucial through the Australian Cancer Council here.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is a specialised technique that uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid through the body. Working methodically toward your lymph nodes it helps reduce swelling, support healing, and improve circulation in the lymphatic system.
Each session is tailored around your specific health requirements. Kate may discuss using the negative pressure LymphaTouch Pro and/or Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation (TEO) as well as clinical grade Red Light Therapy.
MLD is beneficial for a range of conditions including lipedema, lymphedema, venous swelling, and pre- and post-operative recovery.
What is Integrated Lymphatic Drainage®?
Integrated lymphatic drainage® is a holistic therapy that combines manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) with other techniques like aromatherapy, abdominal massage, and fascia release to enhance the body's natural detoxification and immune response. It aims to improve lymph flow, reduce swelling and inflammation, and promote overall physical and mental wellness by addressing the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
Kate is a Certified Lymphoedema Practitioner, Remedial Masseuse and she trained with the amasing Mariana Silva, Integrative Lymphatic Drainage®, in Sydney.
Facial Lymphatic Drainage
Facial lymphatic drainage follows the same gentle, rhythmic principles as manual lymphatic drainage, working to move lymphatic fluid from your face methodically toward the lymph nodes. Because the lymph nodes in your upper chest, neck, and arms play a key role in draining fluid from the face, these areas are always included in your session — ensuring the full drainage pathway is activated and working effectively.
The result is a deeply relaxing experience with genuine health benefits, including reduced puffiness, improved skin tone, and support for your body's natural detox processes.
Scar Tissue Release
Experience gentle scar tissue release techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Our specialised approach aims to address scar tissue adhesions and promote tissue healing for enhanced well-being. During a session Kate may discuss using the negative pressure LymphaTouch Pro and/or Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation (TEO).
What is MSTR®
MSTR® is an effective approach to the treatment of scar tissue, trusted by thousands of healthcare professionals worldwide. This technique not only alleviates physical discomfort but can also restore emotional balance and improve overall health outcomes.
From post-surgical scars to including caesarean scars and total hip replacement, to conditions like plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, MSTR® has proven to be a game-changing tool.
Kate is trained in the McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR®) method.
Foot and Hand Massage for Neuropathy
Working to reduce the burning sensation from damaged nerves, foot and hand massage for neuropathy uses long and light strokes with light to moderate pressure to calm your nervous system. Regular foot and hand massage can help ease the burning, tingling and aching sensations associated with neuropathy. During a session Kate may discuss using the Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation (TEO). A non-invasive gentle device that provides genuine relief through deep tissue vibration.
Pre & Post-Operative Massage
Kate offers in studio and in-facility massage services tailored for elderly clients and individuals recovering from surgery, working collaboratively with your broader healthcare team to ensure your treatment is safe, appropriate, and supportive of your recovery goals.
Lymphatic drainage is particularly valuable in a surgical context — helping your body prepare in the lead-up to surgery, and supporting the removal of excess fluid and toxins during recovery. Massage therapy can also improve circulation, support mobility, and help reduce pain throughout the healing process.
During a session Kate may discuss using the negative pressure LymphaTouch Pro and/or Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation (TEO) as well as clinical grade red light/NIR.
Kate's clients include people who have travelled interstate and internationally for cosmetic surgery, as well as oncology patients requiring gentle, specialist care. Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual health journey, and Kate is happy to liaise directly with your medical or allied health team to develop an approach that works for you.
