Schedule an appointment online, email me at megan@onerivermassage.com, or call/text 508-986-8601.
My work utilizes an eclectic, tailored blend of gentle and pain-free techniques. Clients experience:
- less swelling and discomfort from lymphedema, lipedema, and post-surgical edema
- less pain and tightness after surgery
- more pliable and healthier-looking scars
- relief from side effects of cancer and cancer treatments, such as fatigue, anxiety, muscle aches, insomnia, and neuropathy
- more range of motion
- increased ability to perform daily activities
For self-care at home: I have created some self-manual lymphatic drainage videos, so that those clients with lymphedema or other types of swelling have a way to perform some self-care: UPPER EXTREMITY, LOWER EXTREMITY, and HEAD AND NECK. I’ve also created a video about SELF-SCAR MASSAGE if you’re dealing with tightness or discomfort related to scar tissue.
Treatments
Whether you’re seeking manual lymphatic drainage, oncology massage, breast cancer rehabilitation, scar tissue mobilization, or a relaxing therapeutic massage, I have a treatment plan that’s the right touch for you.
I use a unique and eclectic blend of myofascial and Swedish massage, and lymphatic drainage. My work is gentle, very slow and deliberate, fluid and flowing, and is deeply relaxing.

Educational Cartoons
Under Your Skin
I’d like to thank Dr. Dhruv Singhal, Director of Lymphatic Surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center here in Boston, for sharing his brilliant “train” analogy for lymphedema and for his collaboration in making this latest cartoon happen. What started as a fun cartoon for the Under Your Skin section of my Web site, has evolved into a new eBook published by the Lymphatic Education and Research Network. You can read the whole book online here including the foreword written by Kathy Bates!
