Jenna-Lee Whitaker

Hi, I'm Jenna-Lee

I’m an AHPCSA-registered Therapeutic Massage Therapist and LAOSA-certified Lymphoedema Therapist with a special interest in lipoedema, lymphoedema, and post-operative swelling management.

Build. Grow. Support together

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a wide range of healthcare professionals, including vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons, general practitioners, and other allied healthcare providers. This experience has reinforced my belief that the best patient outcomes come from a collaborative, team-based approach.

While reducing swelling and improving tissue health are important goals, I believe successful treatment goes far beyond fluid management alone. Every person who walks through my door has a unique story, lifestyle, set of challenges, and goals. My role is to help you build a personalised, sustainable plan that supports your health without asking you to put your life on hold.

One of the greatest privileges of my work is getting to know the person behind the diagnosis.

Whether it’s returning to work with confidence, keeping up with your children, enjoying a holiday without discomfort, recovering well after surgery, or simply feeling comfortable in your own body again, these everyd day moments matter. I believe healthcare should help you get back to living your life – not revolve around your condition.

As a self-confessed foodie who believes life is meant to be enjoyed, I’m not interested in quick fixes, extreme restrictions, or short-term fads. Instead, I focus on practical education, consistency, and realistic habits that fit naturally into your everyday routine.

Whether you’re navigating lipoedema, lymphoedema, recovering from surgery, or simply looking to feel more comfortable in your body, my goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support you need for long-term success.

Together, we’ll create a plan that addresses your concerns, works with your lifestyle, and helps you feel confident in managing your condition for years to come.

What My Patients Say

Understanding of the Challenges

I’ve been seeing Jenna for about a year at this point, and I’ve gone from struggling to walking with a cane to doing a walking tour in Europe. The difference in mobility has been amazing, thanks to Jenna’s treatments.

A Whole Person

Dealing with Lipedema and Lymphedema can feel overwhelming, but Jenna-Lee changed everything for me. Physically, her targeted approach to lymph drainage and circulation has yielded amazing results. Emotionally and mentally, she has been instrumental. Jenna-Lee treats you as a whole person, fostering a growth mindset and keeping you focused on what’s possible

Enthusiasm is infectious

Jenna is one of the best therapists I have had the pleasure in interacting with. Simply amazing. Her enthusiasm is infectious.

Shift our Mindset & Focus

Jenna creates so much awareness that she allows us to shift our mindset and focus from set guidelines to listening to our bodies and working together as a community of ladies who all face the same challenges, there is nothing greater than support to beat the odds of it all!
