Why Work With Petra
In 2006 I became the ONLY therapist in the world qualified in Postoperative and Post Trauma Scar Massage, a training developed especially for me by the Centre for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and the School of Orthopaedic Massage & Bodywork, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. As part of the training I completed Bruno Chikly's Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) 1 & 2, my first introduction to the lymphatic system.
Wanting to learn more about the wonders of lymphatics, in 2008 I completed my Lymphoedema Certification with Klose Training Inc. in the Foeldi Method of MLD/CDT (Manual Lymph Drainage & Complete Decongestive Therapy), and, every two years since then I've attended the Foeldi Clinic in Germany to complete the Advanced Review & Update certification.
MORE ABOUT PETRAAlmost 20yrs of Experience
I've worked in healthcare since 2003. And I've specialised in helping postop patients since 2006!
I've worked in both the NHS in England and successfully ran my own private practice in The London Breast Clinic, Harley Street, London and in the Bridge Clinic in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
In 2011 I introduced Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Scar Tissue Therapy to London Bridge Plastic Surgery. This was the first cosmetic, aesthetic and plastic surgery clinic in UK to offer these specialist therapies as part of the surgical care package.

Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck Recovery
"The day before my surgery I had a session of MLD. I felt relaxed and more confident about what I was doing after that session. My first post op MLD was a few days after my surgery and I had a further 6 after that. The MLD was great for reducing the swelling, but it was Petra’s knowledge and advice around this surgery and recovery that was invaluable. After being discharged from hospital I felt a bit nervous going home so seeing Petra twice a week was reassuring.
My recovery was pretty easy. I had good mobility and minimal pain. I do put that down to the MLD. Petra’s advice and knowledge is invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend her. She is just great!"
