Hello! I’m Lauren Small, a passionate healthcare professional with a unique journey. In 2017, I graduated from PIMA Institute of Technology, achieving an associates in occupational science and earning the title of a certified occupational therapy assistant. Through this foundation, I developed a strong understanding of rehabilitative practices and the human body. My fascination with manual therapy grew, leading me to further pursuits. In 2019, I completed my studies at the Colorado School of Healing Arts, obtaining a license as a massage therapist. The world of manual therapy opened doors for me, but my true focus emerged when I delved into the intricacies of the lymphatic system.

In 2020, I sought to deepen my expertise by attending the Academy of Lymphatic Studies. Here, I obtained certification in the prestigious Vodder technique of Manual Lymphatic Drainage. This medical modality holds immense significance, utilized in over 90 hospitals. My practice is dedicated to aiding individuals battling chronic conditions like inflammation, autoimmune disorders, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalances, etc. In 2022, I received a certification for using Manual Lymphatic Drainage to help people recover from plastic surgery. In 2024, I wanted to go extend my healing touch to people suffering from Lymphedema. I obtained a certification of Lymphedema Therapy from the Norton School of Lymphatic studies, which will allow me to offer Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) for Lymphedema.
