About me…

I’ve been an occupational therapist for over 40 years and nearly half of that I’ve spent specializing in lymphedema and lipedema treatment. I’m a researcher and educator and have given presentations at conferences all over the world. In addition, I teach in the doctoral physical therapy program at the University of the Pacific. As a board-certified lymphedema therapist, I have a hospital-based part time outpatient clinical practice in Stockton California, and see patients from all over the United States.  This past year I have decreased my clinical work in order to expand my private telehealth treatment and consultation practice for all types of patients, including breast cancer, lipedema and lymphedema, and general wellness. I hold a master’s degree in energy medicine, and love to weave eastern and western medicine together in all that I do.
