Nice to meet you. I’m GAYLE.

As an experienced Lymphatic Health and Wellness Specialist, I am a passionate advocate for holistic health and lifelong learning, dedicated to the gentle and transformative art of Manual Lymphatic Drainage. My ethos centres around sharing knowledge, encouraging wellness, and nurturing the next wave of practitioners through Dr. Vodder's legacy.


My story is a testament to resilience, continuous learning, and dedication to one’s craft.

I embarked on my health and wellness journey completing my training in 1986, and then opening a beauty salon at the tender age of 21, quickly establishing myself as a dedicated therapist. However, a pivotal moment came at 26 when my mother’s stroke profoundly affected me, prompting a re-evaluation of my career path. This introspection led me to a significant opportunity at Harrods, where I excelled as a Business Manager for the innovative skincare brand Sisley, further honing my skills in sales, management, and spa training.

It was during my tenure at Harrods that I formed a connection with a French Countess, a regular client who introduced me to the concept of lymphatic drainage, a popular treatment in France. This encounter planted the seeds of curiosity, though at the time, I found resources and training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to be scarce. The idea, however, lingered and found its purpose years later when I witnessed the remarkable benefits of MLD firsthand through watching a specialist work with my daughter’s grandmother in her cancer recovery journey.

Since qualifying, I have built a busy practice and helped over 30,000 patients improve their health and quality of life with the power of Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

Motivated by this success, I sought out specialist training at the esteemed Dr. Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage School in Austria, where I became a certificated practitioner in 2002. Recognising the underutilised potential of lymphatic drainage due to the scarcity of practitioners, I pursued further training to become a Level 1 teacher in both medical and cosmetic lymphatic drainage, a journey that took me from Vancouver to Ireland and culminated in my certification in Austria December 2023.

Today, I stand among a select group of qualified Dr. Vodder teachers, dedicated to empowering professionals to specialise in MLD. My experience encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions from sinusitis and lymphoedema to recovery from cosmetic surgery, along with enhancing overall health by alleviating brain fog, stress, pain, digestive issues, period pains and many more conditions.
