Lin Coleman is the real deal!! A little background: I have a condition (TSW/RSS) which causes a great deal of swelling in my entire body and others recommended that getting a manual lymph drainage massage is helpful. I found Lin Coleman and took one look at her website and credentials, was impressed, and contacted her immediately. She gave me 30 mins to an hour of a free intake exam over the phone, explaining the lymph system, how it works, seeing if I wanted to use my insurance (it's not a recognized condition here in the US, so I didn't want to take up a lot of time battling my insurance to cover my treatment, and besides Lin is quite affordable private pay) and making sure my condition was a fit for treatment. She was a wealth of info in talking to her about my other illnesses too, and I could tell right away, she had such a strong desire to help people reclaim their health and vitality.
I then went to see her at her home clinic and got the BEST MLD massage, completely hands-on, no special modalities needed, and she also taught me some manual lymph drainage exercises/lessons so I could perform them on myself at home. My worst area of swelling has always been my face, around my eyes and my eyelids, especially. Lin had to go in through my mouth and perform MLD way back on my upper palate to get my eyes, lids and face swelling to go away. She tried to show me how to do it on myself, but I cannot perform it on myself, lol, it's way too difficult and uncomfortable if I try to do it. She is simply a genius at this and/or has the gift of healing hands. I could tell I got the best lymph drainage massage from her because I got results by the next morning. All my swelling reduced to nothing and my skin flare completely subsided! I was overjoyed, to say the least! I have returned to her when I have flared up again (the flares unfortunately cycle throughout the years) and I always get the same excellent results. I highly recommend Lin and it is such a pleasure and comfort to get treated by a person with so much compassion.
I also want to mention something I found helpful: Lin teaches a completely free, no strings attached, zoom class on manual self lymph drainage that you can sign up for on her website (https://lymphcoach.org/) that she gives every Tuesday at noon. Her free class specializes in pre and post breast cancer but I still take them even though I don't have breast cancer because I find them to be helpful for generalized lymph drainage and it's one way to help prevent breast cancer too. I have never met anyone like Lin, who has spent her own money to be educated and certified in this field and makes a living performing this important work but who cares so much about people that she spends her time and freely gives away her knowledge and experience by teaching others how to perform this body work on themselves for no charge. It just shows how much she believes in lymph drainage and wants to help people from her heart because lymph drainage truly helps that much!
I just saw her yesterday (which reminded me that I really need to give her a review for the lymph drainage) for cryotherapy for inflammation due to my autoimmune disease. It was a fast and painless experience. It might be too soon to tell, but I'm seeing some exciting results so far and am planning to book another appointment for next week. I feel so fortunate that I found Lin right here in Grass Valley so close to home and would say if you're in need of healing, do yourself a favor, and see Lin, you will not regret it! read more
