About - Linda Ohlandt – LMBT, CMLDT

My interest in manual therapy developed at a young age, deeply influenced by my experiences with my brother, who was severely disabled. Observing the benefits that my brother received from home-based physical therapy, I saw how treatment improved his ability to breathe and move more easily, as well as his spirit being lifted - he smiled & laughed more. These formative experiences planted the seeds for my passion for the healing power of touch, which I would revisit later when I had a family of my own.
 

I became a Nationally Board-Certified Massage Therapist while living in NJ in 2002. In 2005, I was inspired to further my education by obtaining my Medical Massage License in New York. While working at an Integrative Wellness Center located within a hospital, I was exposed to a wide range of conditions, with a special emphasis on breast cancer. These experiences led me to become a Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist in 2017. I then moved and obtained my North Carolina License in 2019.

 

Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy is beneficial for many conditions, including
Lymphedema, inflammatory conditions, sinus & allergies, pre & post surgery, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, scar tissue reduction, sleep disorders, and digestion issues.

 

Ongoing research continues to explore the possible connections between Lymphatic System issues and Neurological disorders, further highlighting the importance & potential of this modality.

 

In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors - hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, riding horses and playing with my dog Jax.
