"For me, having cancer required me to stop. Go within. Then plan a course of action for treatment and for living. For breast cancer patients, edema is often part of post-operative recovery.  I had a lumpectomy, so part of my recovery and on-going health now includes lymph drainage massage. It is a non-invasive, gentle way of helping the lymph system throughout my body which strengthens my entire immune system. Rocio is one of the very few massage therapists in the area who can do this treatment. Her intuitive and massage skills know what areas of my body need the most help each time I see her. I am now 18 years cancer-free with no relapses or medication!"

"Following a bilateral branchioplasty (arm lift), I suffered from lymphedema in my left arm. After trying various methods to reduce 

the swelling, including acupuncture, I turned to Rocio for Lymphatic Drainage treatments. It was a slow process that required treatment over several months but I eventually noticed a significant improvement. The treatment itself is totally painless and actually very relaxing for the entire body. Lymphedema can be very difficult to treat but I would recommend Lymphatic Drainage as the first course of action. Rocio has been well trained and has years of experience in this treatment."

"Today I had yet another amazing session with my massage therapist Rocio, I never thought when I reached out to MLD Therapy and Wellness in desperate need of lymphatic massage, that I would find a one of a kind person. Rocio has so deeply changed the way my body and my heart is healing, always so attentive to what my body needs and I always not only look forward to every session but walk out feeling like a new woman. In February I had liposuction and body fat transfer, I had no idea of the impact and time the healing truly takes on your body. Almost three months out she has helped me keep the shape and drain my lymphatic system to help the extra fluid that wants to build up. Anyone who has under gone lipo or is considering should truly consider utilizing this amazing woman, and help your body alleviate the discomfort of the cosmetic surgery and enjoy the process. Thank you for everything Rocio you are so amazing and talented."
