I was diagnosed with lipedema in 2018 by Dr. Perez in Portland, OR.

Since then, it’s been a journey.

I’ve tried so many conservative therapies: vibration, custom-fitted compression, pneumatic pumps, manual lymphatic drainage, keto and low-carb diets, anti-inflammatory eating, peptides, Chinese herbs, acupuncture, heavy weight lifting, swimming…

In 2023, I had full arm and lower leg reduction surgery.

Living with lipedema has given me a deeper understanding of the physical and emotional journey that can come with this condition.

If you’re looking for a provider who is familiar with lipedema and understands the journey from both a professional and personal perspective, I’m here for you.

I provide a non-judgmental space to answer questions, offer support, and create treatments that take your individual needs into account. Most of all, I hope to help you feel more supported and less alone on your journey.
