The Bodhi Tree Holistic Health Solution, Lymphatic Massage, Infrared Therapy, Oncology Massage, Reiki

The Bodhi Tree Holistic Health Solution is a full-service lymphatic drainage massage and additional infrared therapy center for whole-body health.

Theresa Gamlin,
Owner, Practitioner

I am a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Intuitive Reiki Master, and Massage Therapist.

My formal education began at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego CA, where I earned my certification in Holistic Health Science. Developing my signature style, I integrated Eastern and Western techniques in Reflexology, Therapeutic Massage and Reiki. In 2016, I continued my education with Klose training, earning my certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and later became a Certified Lymphedema and decongestive Therapist, which has become my passion.

As a mother of a son living with Lymphedema, I understand the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that this condition may bring … not to mention the misinformation and the cost that one might encounter as a patient.

At the Bodhi Tree, the aim is to provide medical massages tailored to specific needs of the individual and their unique concerns.

As a true believer in the body’s ability to heal itself, I can attest to the fact that when advanced massage modalities are applied, the healing process can be accelerated. As a certified Lymphatic therapist working in a holistic setting, rather than a clinical or hospital setting, I offer the unique opportunity to dedicate the necessary time and attention to each client and her or his specific concerns.

Clientele includes post-surgical patients (BBL, liposuction, C-section, and breast health), people with edema, Lymphedema, and clients seeking to strengthen immune health.

SERVICES
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A gentle massage used to encourage the drainage of lymphatic fluid found between the tissues of the body. MLD eliminates toxic waste products from the body and returns vitamin rich protein back into the circulatory system. This massage is effective for lymphedema, Lipedema, Venous edema, Rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation and post-surgical edema.

Oncology Massage
A massage adapted to support those living with the effects of cancer treatments. Oncology massage improves quality of life by reducing anxiety, fatigue, and post-surgical swelling, while supporting recovery.

Infrared Therapy
Increases blood and lymph flow, which stimulates growth of normal tissue instead of scar tissue to accelerate post-surgical repair. Infrared light therapy reduces inflammation and improves skin quality by increasing production of collagen and elastin.

Theresa Gamlin is a board-certified massage therapist who specializes in the Vodder method of manual lymphatic drainage and oncology massage for the enhancement of the immune system. Clients have the pleasure of enjoying massages tailored to their specific needs, complimented by the use of reflexology, acupressure, as well as infrared therapy.

For almost a year, I was having swelling and pain in my body. It was to the point that every movement was met with discomfort. After three sessions at Bodhi Tree, I have had great improvement. The infrared treatment really made a difference in the level of stiffness in my hands and legs. I didn’t realize how much discomfort I was in until I found myself sleeping during the massage. The treatment and professionalism were outstanding. I would give this 10 stars.

I have been seeing Theresa weekly for 5 months now. I had seen 2 lymphatic drainage massage therapists before her who just weren’t right for me. Theresa is professional, conscientious, and caring. Her prices are very reasonable and her massages are sooooo relaxing. When I first started seeing her my lymph system was sluggish and stuck and I experienced swelling and pain. It’s flowing again and I’m so thrilled to have found her!

Theresa made my first experience with lymphatic massage absolutely wonderful. She listened and explained everything clearly. The space was quiet and clean and super relaxing. She was very gentle and I felt like I could have fallen asleep. I’m definitely going back!
