Tanga Okondo-Totterdell
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Practitioner in London

Tanga has a peaceful complimentary health practice in Dulwich, where she helps clients manage conditions such as lymphoedema, using the gentle technique of manual lymphatic drainage (Vodder DLT, Austria). She facilitates recovery from injury, pain and surgical procedures, using techniques that reduce scar tissue and muscle contracture (including kinesiotape and deep oscillation therapy).

Approach to Manual Lymphatic Drainage & How I Work

Therapy is my fascination and my privilege. I create a quiet healing space for clients to unwind and re-energize, and believe both complimentary and conventional approaches to health can work together for the best results.
My vision is supporting the lymphatic (immune) system, facilitating optimal muscle-to-bone communication and holding the space for others to allow themselves to be exactly who they are.
