SHannon Lawrence, REgistered Physiotherapist, CLT-LANA
Shannon Lawrence has worked in the field of lymphedema for several decades, with most of her focus in the early years being breast cancer related lymphedema. Recognizing a need in the North Island for more comprehensive care, she sought out training to become a certified lymphedema therapist.

After completing her certification, Shannon has gone on to write the Lymphology Association of North America certification exam - the highest level of certification for a lymphedema therapist.
