I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist with over 25 years of experience in the field of therapeutic bodywork. I hold advanced certification in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) through the Chikly Institute, and Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) through Klose Training, specializing in the treatment and management of lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Known for my compassionate and individualized approach, I combine clinical skill with a deep understanding of the lymphatic and muscular systems. My treatments are rooted in evidence-based techniques that support healing, reduce discomfort, and improve quality of life for each client.

In addition to lymphedema and MLD therapy, I offer comprehensive massage therapy services tailored to address pain relief, stress reduction, and rehabilitation. I am committed to continuing education and stay current on the latest research and techniques in manual therapy and integrative health.

SET The Technique proudly accepts VA referrals as a community care provider and welcomes clients utilizing Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). My practice is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming space for healing and recovery.

Same as above.

She talked to me before and after the session.

Kristi addressed my individual needs. She does not treat her clients as “one size fits all”. Relief from problem areas and results are felt immediately.

Kristi listened to my issues, asked probing questions, and then went to work on my problem area.

Kristi is amazing… from the time u walk in until the time you leave… she is totally engaged. What I love is she’s collaborative… she listens to her clients and her range is so vast that she has a solution to the problem. The environment she has established is conducive for healing! I’ve gotten better when I started seeing her.

Ms. Duncan was very knowledgeable after receiving an assessment of my issues. She ensured I was comfortable with the pressure that was given. Ms. Duncan was very professional, she answered any questions or concerns that I had before and after my session.
