I have had 2 sessions so far with Stefania for lymphatic massage after surgery. In fact, I have had 2 surgeries, one with and one without lympahtic massage, so I can (anecdotally) compare them pretty accurately.
I cannot sing Stefania's praises enough. I do want to enumerate a few types of people who might want to consider other options though:
1. You prefer a long,drawn-out, and painful recovery period post-op. Perhaps you're into pain, soreness, and uncomfortability, or you like to live your life on "hard" mode. In my experience, Stefania has accelerated my recovery tremendously and monitors my progress.
2. You're in it for the pity / sympathy from others. This one almost didn't make the list, because you feel better so much faster with Stefania that you can use the time you'd normally be spending recovering to take acting lessons to fake being in pain for the same sympathy but not actually be in pain.
3. You'd like to develop an addiction to opiates or some other kind of pain medication. While the sessions with Stefania can be pretty intense, the relief afterwards is unbelievable to where the pain medications aren't needed. So avoid if your goal is a narcotic addiction.
4. You run some kind of dogfighting or otherwise terribly illegal operation out of your home that you don't want anyone to notice. Stefania has the option of coming to your home to do her work, which in the early stages of recovery is amazing.
5. You hate courteous, polite, patient, and professional people. Stefania is efficient, kind, and knowledgable about her craft and genuinely wants to help you. So if abuse, apathy, and misinformation is your thing, I recommend finding someone else.
For everyone else, Stefania is the real deal. read more
