Elli Klaus (she/her)

During a period of extensive and repeated surgeries due to skin cancer, I realized how invaluable MLD treatment is not just pre and post-surgery but also in the management of tissue health and scarring thereafter. This led me to become certified in MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE AND COMBINED DECONGESTIVE THERAPY at Austria’s Vodder Academy.

I am very interested in scar management and have taken continued training in scar treatment and burn scar massage. I support clients through cancer treatment and recovery, mastectomy care, edema prevention/management and pre/post-surgery (including gender-affirming surgery).

I have experience treating spinal cord injuries and currently supervise RMT practicum students at Vancouver’s Spinal Cord Research Centre (ICORD).

I provide a trauma-informed and 2SLGBTQIA+ -safe space.

Please note that our office has two gendered washrooms on the 18th floor. The only accessible washrooms are located on the main floor.

My work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Selilwitulh (Tsleilwaututh) First Nations.

I can bill insurance companies through the following extended health providers and portals: Pacific Blue Cross, Medavie Blue Cross, providerConnect and Telus eClaims.

You can find me at Flow Lymphatic Health Clinic on Thursdays and Saturdays, and at Paramed Health Collective at 1200 Burrard Street in Vancouver on Wednesdays.
