I had a stroke and could not walk. Because of the inability to walk my legs became very swollen. Also, my right hand was partially unable to be used. I saw Victoria Goldsten at the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine for lymphatic drainage massage, for my swelling and to do range of motion for my right hand. My swelling improved and was able use my right hand more effectively. Victoria's therapy was very helpful.

Previous to my stroke I had a problem with fibroids. My doctor told me I had to have a hysterectomy. I called Victoria and asked her if she could help. She said she could. She saw me for a natural health care exam and recommended homeopathic remedies. The remedies shrunk my fibroids and never had to have the hysterectomy.

Victoria is a nurse/massage therapist that is certified as a complementary and alternative medicine nurse and also has an advanced degree in homeopathy. I highly recommend Victoria at the Washington Institute.

I had abdominal surgery and my stomach was so sore and sensitive from swelling and having had five incisions. I was referred to Victoria by my surgeon for a special kind of massage called lymphatic drainage to help with my pain and swelling. I was worried that it might be painful but I went with my doctor's advice and signed up for a massage. The massage was very relaxing and i noticed a difference just after the first session. Victoria was very informative. She explained now the lymph system worked and it made me feel more comfortable. Victoria is a massage therapists and also a nurse that has had a lot of experience with patients with surgery. I am so happy that I went and I plan to have several more sessions as I am healing.

I have been receiving treatments from Victoria Goldsten for over 7 years. Since then she has supported my healing process. After she conducted a natural health exam on me, she suggested I receive Manual Lymphatic drainage for issues she identified during the exam. I recommend being seen at her Olney, MD home office location. It is convenient with plenty of Parking.
