I saw Chloe 1 month after the birth of my son hoping to regain feeling in my hip that I lost in my pregnancy. She took excellent care of me and after one session my numbness went away and I was back to normal. I can’t recommend her treatments enough!!

Chloe (Lymphatic Massage Service) is a godsend. I had horrible lymphedemia in my foot from a failed surgery. She did complete decongestive therapy, and it was so much better in days. Unbelievable! Now, I am completely addicted to her massages. Chloe’s technique is so great – strong for me, yet also perfect for my daughter who is beyond ticklish. But the icing on the cake is Chloe’s demeanor, knowledge and personality. She is so sweet, kind, knows all different types of therapy, and is a true pleasure to talk to. I very highly recommend Chloe!

I had a surgery where I ended up with fluids built up in my neck and my lymphatic system was completely clogged, I came to Chloe and she did miracles with her massage where immediately I started to see the difference and over the weeks the improvement was very noticeable.
Chloe is very knowledgeable and she shared a lot of tips to make my recovery easier and faster. I would highly recommend her for anyone.

I came to Chloe in absolutely desperate mood because no doctors could help me with my water retention and every other problem that was connected to it. Since September Chloe helped me not only with this issue but with everything else that was bothering me for years. I feel like a totally new human being! My physical state, my sleep, my mood, my injuries – for these months she was able to put me in place while doctors couldn’t. Now when something is going on and something is bothering me, the first thing I do is talk to Chloe! She’s a blessing and I just wish I found her many many years ago!

FAQ

Chloe has been doing massage and bodywork for almost 20 years. She spent many years as a PTA working in a subacute rehabilitation facility where she treated a wide range of people undergoing cancer treatments, recovering from cancer-related surgeries, and with those in different stages of cancer.

Chloe has experience working with those who have had minor to extreme surgeries, drains, tubes, wounds, and infections. Working in the subacute setting is what lead her to receive her credentials as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, and become specialized in Lymphedema and other inflammation-inducing conditions.

Since becoming a CLT, Chloe has treated many people who are currently undergoing cancer treatments, and those who are in remission.

Chloe also became a Certified Cosmetic Surgery Therapist, which has further specialized her skills to treat those who have undergone cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries.

Oncology massage services and traditional massage differ primarily in their approach and techniques due to the unique needs of cancer patients.

Oncology massage is specifically tailored to the physical and emotional conditions of individuals undergoing cancer treatment, involving gentler pressure, modified techniques, and careful consideration of areas affected by surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

Oncology massage services often combines a blend of services which include lymphatic massage to minimize lymphedema and promote detoxification, myofascial release and massage techniques for sore or tight muscles, and scar tissue massage to break down scar tissue after surgery.

Traditional massage, on the other hand, typically uses more standard techniques aimed at general relaxation, muscle tension relief, and overall wellness without the specialized adjustments needed for those with cancer.


Lymphatic massage is beneficial for oncology patients as it helps reduce lymphedema, a common side effect of cancer treatments that causes swelling due to lymph fluid buildup. 

This gentle, rhythmic massage technique promotes the movement of lymph fluid, decreases swelling, enhances immune function, and provides relief from discomfort, thereby improving overall quality of life during and after cancer treatment.

Lymphatic massage feels very soothing and calming, and promotes a sense of rejuvenation.
Typically, 60-90 minute sessions are tolerable for those undergoing cancer treatments, or for those in remission. If you feel as though it is too much, Chloe will adjust the timing and will charge accordingly.
Contraindications for oncology massage include acute infection, blood clots, untreated cancer, and untreated heart or kidney conditions. Chloe needs to receive clearance from your oncologist before receiving oncology massage.

It is important that your oncologist is aware of your interest in receiving these massage treatments and allows for better communication between your oncologist and Chloe.

If massage techniques are not appropriate, lymphatic drainage massage is a great alternative as it involves very light pressure and can be utilized soon after surgery, with your surgeon’s clearance.
Common signs of lymphedema include heaviness, fullness, tightness, aching, tingling or numbness, swelling, and restricted range of motion in the affected area. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important that you communicate this to Chloe and your oncology team.
It is important to talk to your oncologist about receiving massage during your treatments as they will determine if they think it is appropriate. If massage is cleared by your oncologist, Chloe will adjust her approach by avoiding certain areas if necessary, and utilizing very gentle techniques that are specific to your needs.

It is not common, but if you begin to feel sick during your treatment session, Chloe will stop immediately and take proper measures to ensure your safety.
