“I have just received my ninth session of Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy from Mary. When I first visited Mary with breast oedema in April (2010) I was in quite low spirits not only from the discomfort of the condition itself but I felt self-conscious about it. Although I had heard of oedema I was not completely sure why it had developed in me, however Mary made me feel completely at ease and took time to explain how the condition occurs and explained about the lymphatic system which I found very useful.

“Thank you so much Mary for a wonderfully soothing, calming and relaxing session. Your gentle and sensitive approach was really appreciated, particularly as I was feeling so low. The session not only helped lift my mood and sense of self, but also the scar tissue that you worked on, lost it’s ‘angry redness’. I felt a lot of tingling in the scar area which helped ease the sense of ‘deadness’ in the area and gave me hope that at least some sensation had returned. Many many thanks.”

“Mary is my ‘saviour’. I came to see her after major knee surgery – 2 replacements done at one go!! My legs and ankles were very swollen indeed. I was rather low thinking that that was how they would stay. However after only 2 treatments they were back to pre-op size and after 4 they were virtually normal! I cannot express how grateful I am to Mary for her skill and care and sensitive approach. She also kindly took the trouble to find me some relevant books to read and also produced some exercise sheets so that I can continue the good work on my own in between treatments. Thank you Mary – you are a ‘special’ lady.”
