“I believe that we are not defined by our pathologies, problems, or challenges, but rather, by our resilience and strength. And I am honored to be a part of your journey towards wellness.”
~ Lin Coleman, CLT – LANA
Hello. I’m Lin Coleman.
With over 40 years of experience as a nationally certified lymphedema therapist, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate the challenges of living with lymphedema after breast cancer.
I received my certification from two leading lymphedema clinics in Europe and had the honor of developing four hospital lymphedema programs, including Stanford Research Hospital in Northern California.
Today, I work in outpatient physical therapy providing a range of lymphedema care services, from manual lymphatic drainage to bandaging, Kinesio taping, garment fitting and more. I work primarily with breast cancer patients, and I have also worked extensively with other lymphatic and lymphedema issues resulting from other types of surgeries and conditions.
My deepest desire is to share a simple program with you that can make your life more manageable and functional, regardless of where you are on your journey. I want to empower you to feel better and more whole for yourself, your family and your life.
