Nurse Care by Lou
Expert Lymphoedema and lymphatic care, led by a qualified nurse.
​​
Before I trained as a nurse, I was already learning what it meant to live with lymphoedema. Those early experiences taught me how much kindness, compassion, empathy and clinical understanding matter when you're managing a long term condition and they continue to guide my work today.
​
My experience has shaped my practice. I left nursing in hospitals after seven years of service and having met my goals of becoming a teacher, to focus on lymphatic health and manual lymphatic drainage. Helping people find relief, confidence and control in their own bodies. Every assessment, treatment and advice I offer is rooted in both clinical knowledge and lived experience.
​
I combine medical expertise with empathy and practical solutions that work in real life because I know how important it is to feel seen, understood and cared for beyond diagnosis.
​
Whether you're managing lymphoedema, lipedema or simply want to support your lymphatic system, my goal is to help you live comfortably and confidently.
