I have had MLD from many therapists and Christine is one of the best. I refer patients to her regularly with the confidence that she will provide the very best!

After experiencing a stroke several years ago, I began seeing Christine regularly. Her lymphatic drainage massage techniques have prevented swelling in my partially numb leg, while being a totally relaxing experience. Christine has a very confident, professional manner and a genuine, friendly personality. She has become a good friend.

I would recommend her highly as a therapist. She is very professional and definitely has healing hands.

Christine Dugan Olivier has been my massage therapist for 2 years and my friend for more than that. She is a wonderful, kind person with “magic” hands.
I have had issues with my Ileo-Tibial (IT) bands for years. That is the ligament on the outside of the thigh that runs from hip to knee. Sometimes I just had intermittent pain. Then there were times it was difficult to climb stairs, walk, unless I used a cane or sit for extended periods of time, as in a long car trip. I had physical therapy at least 3 times for this problem and it would help briefly. I would continue the exercises I was taught but could not duplicate the massage portion, even with a hand held massager.
I then started to go to Christine. Welcome relief !!! She can feel where the knots are, work on them and help release the band tightness. I see her every week. She can tell by touch, just what areas need extra attention. It has changed my life and my mobility. I can easily climb stairs, get in & out of a car without issues, and walk without a cane. I don’t feel like an older woman with mobility issues anymore. There's a spring in my step and I can take my great-grandchildren to the Zoo & the Botanical Gardens and not worry that I’m going to have to cut the visits short. In fact, I have outlasted them a few times.
Thank you, Christine for helping me enjoy life again. I am forever grateful.

I highly recommend Christine. Not only does she give an amazing and thorough massage she is a very kind, considerate and pleasant person. She cares so much for her patients. You will feel the same when you start going to Christine.

Words can not express how much I really like the services Christine has to offer. First, she was a lymphatic therapist for my mother. Because of mother's inability to get around, Christine came to the house to work on mother. I then decided I needed to get massages. I began with 1 hour a month, gradually graduating to 1 1/2 hours every other week. She is very caring, kind, professional and effective. Her space is very relaxing, and beautifully decorated. If you have never had a massage, try Christine, you will be hooked for life. I love her!

I don’t usually comment, but felt strongly about how professional and effective Christine is with her massage therapy. I went to Christine based on a recommendation from Dr. Lex. Anyone who knows Dr. Lex understands that a recommendation from her is solid. Once I started my therapy, I realized I wanted to continue with it. I am so happy to have the opportunity to do so.

I went for my first lymphatic drainage massage and Christine was very knowledgeable in explaining how it works, and what would be going on in my body while it took place. She does a fabulous job guaranteeing a relaxing experience.

Christine has been treating my lymphedema for several years.
Mine comes as a result of radiation for cancer. It isn't ever going to completely heal, but with Christine's treatments, the condition has been made livable - the fluid retention is virtually non-existent - in fact I forget it even exists.
Christine does all kinds of massage: Two years ago I gave my wife a session for Christmas. She loved it.
If you need/want a massage, try Christine. Give her a call and see how she can help you.
