In partnership with Lymphatic Care and Wellness
What happens when you stop rushing through recovery?
After surgery, most people are told to rest, ice, and wait. If swelling doesn't go away — you're told to wait longer. If pain lingers — you push through it.
But what if there was someone right here in Ankeny who was specifically trained to help your body actually heal? Not faster, necessarily. But correctly.
That's what Dr. Shanie Dasrath built Lymphatic Care and Wellness to be.
With 18 years of clinical experience, a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, and advanced certifications in lymphatic therapy that most clinicians in Iowa simply don't hold — Dr. Shanie doesn't work from a script. She sees you, listens to your history, reads what your body is telling her, and builds a plan around you.
Not a preset routine. Not a rushed appointment. Just full clinical attention, every session.

🌟 Why This Practice Is Different
🩺 Clinical Depth You Won't Find Elsewhere
Dr. Shanie is one of the few practitioners in Iowa certified through LANA (the gold standard in lymphedema therapy), Vodder-trained in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and also a licensed OT and massage therapist. That combination means she can:
Treat lymphedema and lipedema with certified, evidence-based protocols
Guide post-surgical recovery — cosmetic, orthopedic, or cancer-related
Address chronic swelling that hasn't responded to other treatments
Integrate pelvic floor awareness, therapeutic massage, and movement into your care plan
Most practitioners specialize in one of these areas. Dr. Shanie holds advanced training across all of them — and brings them together in a single session.
🤲 One Clinician. Your Full Attention.
This is a small practice by design. Dr. Shanie personally delivers every session — no hand-offs, no rotating staff, no assembly line. She reviews your history before you arrive, builds your plan around your goals, and adjusts treatment based on what your body needs that day.
It's the kind of care most people didn't know was available.

💡 Who Is This For?
This practice exists for people who:
Are recovering from surgery and want expert lymphatic support — not just "wait and see"
Have been diagnosed with lymphedema or lipedema and need a LANA-certified therapist
Live with chronic swelling or fluid retention that no one has been able to explain or resolve
Experience ongoing pain or tension and want therapeutic massage guided by OT clinical reasoning
Are navigating pelvic floor concerns — urgency, tension, postpartum recovery — and want a whole-body approach
Or maybe you've just never felt right since a surgery or diagnosis — and no one has taken the time to really figure out why.
Dr. Shanie will.
