Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is offered by multiple therapists. Please research each individual therapist before making a selection. Certification, skills, and experience all vary.
Patricia offers Thera-Lymphatic Treatments, blending gentle therapeutic bodywork and lymphatic drainage techniques, embracing a comprehensive medical approach resulting in a profound therapeutic experience. These techniques are meticulously designed to stimulate lymph drainage, enhance myofascial movement, and improve both lymph and blood flow. Patricia comes highly recommended by doctors and specialists for Post-Surgery Aftercare and Lymphedema Management.

Ronin has just begun her journey in Lymphatic Therapy and has completed Level 1 of Chikly, which does not include lymphedema management.
She is mentored by Patricia van Poppel and can be booked for less complex issues such as detoxification, improving lymphatic health & flow, and managing common issues like swelling and inflammation. Additionally, as a student of massage therapy, her treatments are not covered under typical massage health benefits but her fee reflects this inconvenience.

We understand that every individual is unique, and so should your treatment be. Your therapist leverages their expertise and intuition to craft the perfect therapy session tailored just for you based on your history and current signs and symptoms.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, and Thera-Lymphatics can provide relief from a range of issues, including oncology support, long-haul COVID symptoms, vaccine-related discomfort, fatigue, edema/fluid retention, heavy and tired legs, chronic inflammation, auto-immune dysfunctions, improved immune function and so much more.

Lipoedema Treatment

"Painful fat syndrome" - Lipoedema is a chronic medical condition characterized by the abnormal and disproportionate accumulation of fat, primarily in the legs, thighs, buttocks, and sometimes arms.

"Painful fat syndrome" - Lipoedema is a chronic medical condition characterized by the abnormal and disproportionate accumulation of fat, primarily in the legs, thighs, buttocks, and sometimes arms. Individuals with lipoedema may experience pain, tenderness, and sensitivity in the affected areas. The pain can range from mild discomfort to more severe and debilitating pain. Unlike regular weight gain, the fat accumulation in lipedema does not respond well to diet and exercise. This fat tends to persist even when an individual maintains a healthy lifestyle. Lipoedema can progress over time, with the affected areas becoming increasingly swollen and painful. If left untreated, it may lead to complications like lymphedema, a chronic swelling condition. The exact cause of lipoedema is not fully understood, but it is believed to have a genetic component. Hormonal factors may also play a role since the condition often starts or worsens during hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, IVF or menopause.

Lipoedema is a challenging condition, both physically and emotionally, as it can impact a person's self-esteem and quality of life. Our treatments focus on reducing inflammation, enhancing circulation, and restoring balance to your body. Your journey to a better you starts here!

TRUSTED LYMPHATIC EXPERT

Senior Double Certified Lymphedema Therapist

• 2200-Hour Registered Massage Therapist

• 1800-Hour Certified Structural Integration Therapist

• 550+ Hours Certified Lymphedema and Wound care Therapist

• Certified Oncology Therapist

I am originally from The Netherlands and immigrated with my family to Canada in 2003.

I have been operating my own private clinic for almost 2 decades and was blessed to be able to travel the world to gain more experience and understanding of the issues related to Lymphedema.

I have volunteered several times at the Lymphedema Filariasis clinic in Leogane, Haiti and worked on severe lymphatic and fibrotic tissues which has given me a in-depth understanding how to treat these conditions. the highlight of my career was an amazing internship with Dr. Treadwell at the Institute of Advanced Wound care in Montgomery, Alabama.

These specialized trainings and experiences have given me the passion and drive to offer a unique and diverse platform to treat many areas associated with acute & chronic pain, tightness, swelling, surgical adhesions, scar tissue (mal)formations, limitations in range of motion, and the phases of wound healing.

Many doctors worldwide trust and refer patients to me for my expertise, compassion, and dedication.

With almost 2 decades of hands-on experience in dealing with fascial restrictions and how it affects the body and all of its intrinsicality’s, it is very important to me to understand and apply the techniques learned and to look at the body as a whole, not just one individual system or use only one individual modality.

My unique ability to empathically connect with the body and spirit sets my sessions apart from others. I will use my knowledge and gifts to blend the ideal treatment for each person.

Mojo: No system ever works alone, never gets injured alone and never heals alone
