...Then I relax, knowing I’m in safe hands, while Susie does her job. I always feel much better afterwards. Susie has given me a lot of useful advice about compression stockings, to help my varicose veins. Thank you, Susie, for all your help.
Anon MLD with Hivamat / pre and post operative Liposuction, Lipoedema
Anon | Colyford I have head and neck Lymphoedema after having surgery for a saliva gland tumour. I am a new patient of Susie’s and have had about five treatments with her so far.
As well as giving MLD massage treatment to me directly to help control the swelling, Susie is training me to learn how to do the MLD massage myself. This is a big benefit as it empowers me to help control the swelling on a daily basis and gives me a psychological boost that I am doing something to help myself. I am still learning the techniques [for MLD massage] but Susie is a good and patient teacher and I feel I am already helping control the swelling myself and Susie has noticed a positive difference when I go back each week for another treatment session. I am looking forward to learning more and continuing to improve my MLD techniques as there is quite a lot to learn.. Anon ...swelling is visibly less and the patient has commented on how different it feels when she walks, and she does walk well post ( MLD )massage and has commented previously on how her knees are less painful post treatment. Thanks so much.
MLD with Hivamat secondary Lymphoedema Occupational Therapist, The Woodmill Trust Cullompton ...I have been seeing Susie for some time now. I am impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. It’s early days yet but I have already noticed an improvement, which I can see, whereas after treatment on the the NHS for acute cellulitis a year later had left me feeling desperate for any sign of improvement.
Anon | Sidmouth As before, when you treated me last year I very much appreciate not only the successful reduction of excess fluid but also your highly professional sympathetic and helpful advice and support which I found very reassuring. Many thanks.
MLD secondary Lymphoedema Anon | Exeter ...Felt lighter and freer and haven’t used any lidocaine patches for a week except one area on my left arm. After my second treatment that pesky lump on my arm has been pain free... fantastic!

...The bad news was that 12 weeks after surgery one of my legs started swelling up and became hot and red and uncomfortable. I was referred round the system to be checked out for DVT etc but no-one seemed to know what to do with me. It took the best part of 3 months to get a referral to the NHS lymphoedema clinic to get compression garments fitted. I was so grateful to find Susie on the internet and that she was able to fit me in much sooner. The combination of manual lymph drainage and Hivamat treatment and heaps of advice and reassurance really helped get me back on my feet. She was great in teaching a friend how to do the MLD and I managed to find a (rare)portable Hivamat on eBay so now I’m well set up and about to head off on a 100 mile pilgrimage in Spain. Still adjusting to this being a lifetime thing now, but so grateful to have been able to get the treatment I needed at the right time.
Anon | Exeter ...I really enjoy my treatments and know they give me real benefit. I feel very lucky to have found her.

...which includes walking, cycling and kayaking. Thankfully I have managed to achieve this with regular MLD treatment combined with wearing compression which helps to keep my limbs healthy and in good shape.
Susie takes time to explain how the lymphatic system works which really helps my understanding and management of lymphoedema and has helped me feel confident I have the condition under control. In my experience Susie brings a very positive approach to the treatment of her patients inspiring and encouraging them in their recovery and every day lives. Anon | Exton |
