Our Story. Your Support System.

---

Lymph Rehab exists because of my story—and the gaps I experienced firsthand in the system that was supposed to support me.

I was a single mom to a 4-year-old when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 triple-positive breast cancer. I was thrown into chemo, a double mastectomy, and radiation—and then came lymphedema. It brought a whole new layer of frustration and uncertainty. But what impacted me most wasn’t just the physical toll. It was the moment I was told I could no longer receive the lymphatic care that had become essential to my healing. Insurance labeled it “maintenance” care and denied further sessions—even though my body was still speaking loud and clear.

That moment stayed with me. I couldn’t stop thinking about how many other survivors were going through the same thing—facing financial or systemic barriers that stood between them and the care they needed.

So I began to imagine something different: a space where survivors like me could access expert care without the stress of insurance denials. A place where paying clients could help fund access for others. A community where giving and receiving were part of the same circle—and where education, dignity, and real support came first.

That vision became Lymph Rehab.

Today, I lead this work from a place of lived experience and deep compassion. I know what it feels like to navigate the unknown, to be dismissed, and to crave care that sees the whole you. At Lymph Rehab, I want every person to know: you’re not alone in this. And when you care for yourself here, you help make healing possible for someone else, too.
