About Nurse Dina
Certified Lymphedema Therapist
Health Advocate | Mentor
RN
Hello and welcome. I am Nurse Dina, The Lymphatic Whisperer, an RN and healthcare advocate at the bedside since 1988. I have spent my entire adult life in search of ways to support my patients, their loved ones and my colleagues. Through my journey I found that the entrepreneurial world was the best way for me to do this, and in 2009 I founded Nurse Advocate Associates. Through my journey I found the lymphatic world and knew immediately it was a powerful healing modality to explore. In 2013 I added lymphatic therapy to my practice. Little did I know then that it would become one of the greatest passions in my lifetime, a unifying focus for this frontline nurse advocate.
My intention is to introduce you to my world and to this mysterious part of your body called the lymphatic system and how it intersects with healthcare advocacy. I want you to understand it the way I do, how it moves throughout your body with constant and gentle life-saving forces. I want you to see what I see, how it is misunderstood in this world and how it often leads to misdiagnosis and despair.
Because I am a nurse as well as a certified lymphedema therapist, I am an informed consultant and specialized hands-on mechanic of this system. I understand that it is a key element of the immune system, and as such we must tread lightly and with reverence. False claims and misinformation must never prevail here. As a nurse, I have a responsibility to teach and protect healthcare consumers. It is with that commitment I reach out to you, to bring you into my world and welcome you to The Lymphatic Lifestyle. Believe it or not you are already a part of this world too, that’s why you’re here.
People are talking about the lymphatic system, but they don’t always know what to do about it so it is easy to fall prey to expensive gadgets and an abundance of misinformation. I know that it is helpful to have someone like me to help you physically move this fluid and experience that apparent magic when pain & swelling dissipate, but more importantly to educate you so you are your own advocate and informed lymphatic consumer.
“It’s not magic,
it’s lymphatic.”
