I’ve been working for Katie Bell Physio since 2016 and am a fully qualified MLD therapist having trained here in the UK and at the renowned Dr Vodder School in Austria, where this specialised technique originated. This intensive training allowed me to study all aspects of this incredibly worthwhile and effective treatment, to include Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Decongestive/Compression Therapy. I have been working with clients who have lymphoedema, using MLD to improve their condition leading to a better quality of life. I’ve also worked with clients post operatively to speed up the healing process by using MLD.

I enjoy meeting new clients and I try to help them not just with physical problems but also emotional ones too. If people walk out of my door feeling better than when they arrived then I have done a good job. My desire to help clients with specific problems relating to lymphatic disorders evolved from my training over 30 years ago as a Massage Therapist and Further Education Teacher. This gave me a broad range of experience both hands-on and teaching in massage, anatomy and physiology. I am passionate about the more beneficial and challenging medical aspect that this treatment offers.
