At Salt & Light Wellness, we specialize in compassionate, evidence-based care for clients managing lipedema and recovering from plastic or reconstructive surgery. These journeys can be physically and emotionally challenging, but you don’t have to go through them alone. Our goal is to support you with personalized therapy, education, and tools that promote healing, restore function, and improve quality of life.

What Is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic, progressive condition that causes a symmetrical buildup of fat—often in the legs, hips, and arms—that is painful, resistant to diet and exercise, and frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Many of our clients come to us after years of frustration and uncertainty.

At Salt & Light Wellness, we offer:

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Gentle, rhythmic massage techniques to reduce swelling, improve lymphatic flow, and decrease discomfort.
Compression Education: Guidance on the right garments and how to use them effectively for comfort and daily function.
Movement Therapy: Gentle, functional exercise tailored to your body’s needs to support circulation, reduce stiffness, and enhance mobility.
Empathy and Advocacy: We understand the emotional toll lipedema can take. We’re here to validate your experience and provide practical, empowering care.

Post-Surgical Plastic Surgery Recovery

Whether you've undergone liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, facelift, or reconstructive surgery (including post-lipedema surgery), the right recovery care is essential for achieving optimal results and minimizing complications.

Our post-operative services include:

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Designed to reduce swelling, soften scar tissue, and prevent fibrosis. We typically start within the first few days after surgery (as cleared by your surgeon).
Scar and Fibrosis Management: Gentle techniques and tools (like cupping or gua sha) to help your tissue heal smoothly and reduce irregularities.
Education and Home Care Support: You’ll leave your sessions knowing how to continue your recovery safely between visits.
Close Communication with Your Surgical Team: When appropriate, we coordinate care with your surgeon for a seamless healing process.

Why Choose Salt & Light Wellness?

We're not a spa. We're not a franchise. We are medical professionals with specialized training in lymphatic disorders, oncology rehab, and post-surgical care. Our treatments are grounded in science, tailored to your body, and delivered with compassion.

Whether you're living with lipedema or healing from surgery, we’re here to help you move with less pain, more confidence, and renewed strength.
