Lymphedema Management (MLD)

Gentle, non-invasive and grounded in evidence-based practice.
The people
Lorna Douglas founded Arch Wellness. She began as a licensed massage therapist in 2011, contracting with chiropractic offices and caring for clients in medical and doctors' offices, and in 2017 took the leap into her own massage and skincare practice. Teaching students made her a student again: she trained in lymphedema and oncology care and is now a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), trained in Oncology Massage and Oncology Esthetics. Every service is tailored to you, including for clients facing health challenges.
