Linda is so professional and kind. She explained the issues and process and then showed me and my partner how to put everything into practice. She is amazing! She is the first person who really helped me with my breast lymphoedema.

I wasn’t sure whether I had lymphadema or fluid retention but I knew I had to find out quickly as I was scheduled for surgery only a week away. Dr Linda was every thing I hoped she would be and actually more so.I felt I was in the right place.I was positioned into a pressure suit and after sometime it was removed. I discovered that the fluid shifted but rebounded back. This I was told by Linda indicated I didn’t have Lymphadema. I felt instant relief but my mind was flooded with “what and why”.

Linda is so amazing with her knowledge and skill. My issue has improved markedly since seeking Linda’s help. Would highly recommend her services. You won’t meet a more caring specialist.

Linda new exactly what was wrong with my arm that had had lymph nodes removed due to breast cancer as soon as she saw me on my first appointment. Linda even rang my doctor to get me in immediately. I didn't realise the pain and swelling was caused by an infection. That is now all clear. Now with Linda's treatments and her now having me wearing the Correct sleeves, my am is smaller than ever. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful

Linda was very professional. She gave me confidence as it was obvious that she really knows her stuff. Very patient, caring and not at all pushy. She gave me good advice on how to relieve my symptoms. I thoroughly recommend Linda
