Katy is a board certified massage therapist and a *Vodder certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist and educator specializing in post-concussion symptoms, chronic pain and inflammation disorders, oncology, and post-surgical recovery. She is passionate about all things involving the brain and lymphatic system: swelling, immune function, detoxification, and inflammation in humans and equines. Katy is dedicated to continual learning and skill advancement. Her priority is safe, inclusive, excellent, and effective care.
Advanced Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) increases the rate of fluid processing through the lymphatic system by up to 30% for 6 hours after a single treatment, on average! This allows a typically developed lymphatic system to “catch up” where it fell behind and return to more normal function. For an altered lymphatic system, MLD helps re-route the fluid away from insufficient or damaged areas to healthy lymph vessels and nodes.

Due to the comprehensive effect of Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) on many systems of the body, please feel free to contact me if you have a question related to the immune system, the nervous system, swelling, pain, relaxation, or aiding detox pathways.
Health Concerns
Please notify your MLD practitioner before making your appointment if you have any health concerns, as it is not safe to utilize Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) under certain conditions such as any acute infection (prior to starting antibiotics), Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), a recent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) (or other active blood clots), active Tuberculosis, or Cellulitis.
From Katy’s Clients …
I had been suffering with symptoms after a concussion. It got to the point of almost losing my job. Katy said she could help with a series of Lymphatic Drainage sessions. After three appointments, I was back to normal and jumped into the busy season at work. I have my life back due to lymphatic drainage from Katy Anderson.

I get horrible migraines and I went to Katy for MLD. This was my first experience with MLD, and I was incredibly impressed by how much it helped. Katy was kind, attentive, and a clear expert, and I appreciated that she explained what she was doing as she went. My headache was much better when I left and gone altogether a couple hours later which never would have happened without her help.

Lymphatic. Lymphatic. Lymphatic! Katy’s knowledge and ability to drain your lymphatic system is truly impressive. I, at times, suffer from swelling and poor circulation. After every session with Katy, I find myself up and walking without pain or swelling in almost no time! She’s precise and has the sensitive touch you would want in your therapist’s hands.

My 3-year-old has feet issues and screamed/cried hysterically when I took him to see a podiatrist. Katy was so gentle with him. He was never scared or cried! He even let her tape the bottom of his feet! I love Katy and would highly recommend her for adults and kids. Also, I live an hour away from her and it’s always worth the drive.
