WHO I AM
AND WHAT I DO
HoYee Wong CMT #71448,CLT, nickname "Rachel"
Rachel Wong is a graduate of the National Holistic Institute’s 1,350-hour Massage Therapist Certification Program and Advanced Neuromuscular Program, March 2nd 2017. I have nine years of massage experience and five years specializing in Manual Lymph Drainage, and I completed 135 hours of Certified Lymphedema Therapist training through Klose Training.
My practice focuses on clients at risk of lymphedema or managing lymphedema, those living with lipoedema, individuals managing chronic or complex medical conditions, and clients recovering from surgery. I blend gentle lymphatic techniques with targeted soft-tissue therapy to reduce swelling, improve comfort, and support long-term healing.
​
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with lupus, a journey that deepened my empathy and helped me truly understand that challenges of pain, fatigue, and recovery. This experience shapes the care and compassion I bring to every session.

I am committed to ongoing education and using the most current, evidence-based techniques to support your healing.My intention is to offer a supportive, calming enironment where you feel heard and cared for

Manul Lymph Drainage -
Dr.Vodder Method
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) was created by Dr. Emil Vodder and his wife, Estrid, who discovered that gentle, rhythmic skin-stretching movements could effectively stimulate lymph vessels, move lymph fluid and reduce swelling. Their pioneering work laid the groundwork for today's evidence-based lymphatic therapies, widely used for lymphedema, post-operative recovery, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
In my practice, I use based on foundational Vodder techniques: the Stationary Circle and the Pump techniques to gently guid lymph toward healthy drainage pathways and support safe, effective result.
THE PERRIN TECHNIQUE HAND ON ONLY
The Perrin Technique™ is an osteopathic approach developed in 1989 for ME/CFS that focuses on supporting the body’s natural detoxification pathways. It works by using gentle hand-on techniques to encourage the movement of toxins from the cerebrospinal fluid into the lymphatic system. From there, these toxins can enter the bloodstream and be processed naturally by the liver. As the strain on the central nervous system decreases, the hypothalamus and sympathetic nervous system may begin to regulate more effectively.
As a massage therapist, my role is strictly hands-on. I do not diagnose conditions, interpret medical findings, or recommend supplements. The Perrin Technique is most beneficial when clients are also working with a functional medicine doctor, osteopathic physician, or other qualified healthcare provider who can manage the medical aspects of their care.
