Testimonials:

''I highly recommend Luba for MLD massages and on going care for recovery after surgery. I had my surgery in August, and  contacted Luba to book in sessions. It was such a wonderful and reassuring experience to have this support and help. In the early days you have lots of worries and concerns re healing. Luba’s knowledge and care was over and beyond what I expected. Her skills as an MLD therapist were excellent and I found the draining of water retention incredible. I love going for my appointments and feel my recovery and results are outstanding because of Luba’s work.''
J from Wokingham

''I contacted Luba for MLD due to lipoedema in my thighs, and she was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind, clearly explaining every step of the process while tailoring the treatment to my needs. I experienced a strong reduction in water retention and lipoedema symptoms, which allowed me to exercise more consistently and build visible muscle. The result was a 5 cm reduction in my thighs and a much improved appearance, an impressive outcome that truly reflects Luba’s expertise.''
Ana Wood 

''Luba has been absolutely instrumental in my post op recovery, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I had my first manual lymphatic drainage massage the day after surgery, and I was a bit worried because there was so much swelling, bruising and leakage, but Luba very gently drained my arms and legs, giving relief from the tightness the swelling caused, and I felt so much better almost instantly.
From the very first time I met Luba for my pre surgery consultation, I felt instantly at ease. Luba is genuinely one of the nicest, kind hearted and uplifting people I have met, and I don't know what I would have done without her post surgery, or how I would have coped. Nothing is too much trouble for her, she always goes above and beyond with help, advice and support, and you can tell that she genuinely wants to help you feel better.
Recovery from surgery is difficult, especially in the first week post surgery when you do not know what is normal and what to do. I would turn up a ranting lunatic and leave a calm, happy little bean. Luba was my lifeline, she has made such a difference to my recovery, and I am so thankful to have found her.
I always look forward to seeing Luba, she is so lovely and easy to talk with and I always leave feeling better, both physically and mentally.
I would highly recommend Luba because she really does go the extra mile, and the results are incredible, no swelling and my legs look like legs again and with ankles I never thought I'd see again!
Thank you so much Luba for all your help and support, and for just being you, you truly are amazing!''  Maria

"Luba is amazing at what she does. I'm so grateful for how much she has helped me this past year! I'm cabin crew and get swollen legs after long haul flights, I get Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massages wit Luba and the results are incredible. I now get very little or  no pain in my legs, the swelling goes completely and I feel comfortable wearing dresses again! Luba is so knowledgeable, friendly and understanding, I couldn't recommend her enough :)" Beth
