Curriculum Vitae	Suzanne Humen Davey, OTR/L, CLT-LANA - Director and Owner Suzanne Humen Davey, OTR/L, CLT-LANA is a registered/licensed Occupational Therapist, who graduated from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut in 1995 with a BS in Occupational Therapy.

Suzanne started her own business specializing in lymphatic treatment in August 1999, when she was still working at Aventura Hospital and Medical Center in Aventura, FL where she developed the first Lymphedema Treatment program in the area. In April 2000, she decided to leave the hospital and venture out on her own. Due to the misinformation and lack of knowledge in the Medical community about Lymphedema and the therapy available to treat this condition. Most physicians where not recognizing that if an edema is not reducing with conventional treatment such as diuretics and (RICE)-Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation, after ruling out all other medical possibilities, then it could simply be a “lymphedema”. The current focus is to utilize the knowledge and expertise of all of the therapists certified in the European Method of Manual Lymph Drainage for the purpose of reducing lymphedema/ edema and empowering each patient with the education and information to maintain and improve their own quality of life through the use of treatment techniques and products that are appropriate for their individual needs. Suzanne has been actively participating in Lymphedema Research since 2003. She is a member of the National Lymphedema Network, NAVALT, AOTA, FOTA, and the Lymphatic Research Foundation. She is a certified custom fitter for  Juzo, Mediven, Jobst (Elvarex), Reid Sleeve, Circ Aid, Farrow Wrap and Solaris. She has specialized training in Kinesio Taping, Wound Care Techniques, Ortho-Bionomy, Myofascial Release, and Reiki Healing. Our program is the first Lymphatic Therapy program in the State of Florida to focus on Post-Plastic Surgery edema. Also, our pre-natal and pregnancy massage program is the first comprehensive Lymphatic Therapy program to focus on Moms-to-be. In 2010, Suzanne founded Healing Hands Seminars to bring the knowledge of healing to light.
