How has your September been so far? With school ramping up and students heading back to their classrooms, we are ramping up things here with the Lipedema community to get ready for a big week ahead. The Lipedema Heart to Heart Conference is around the corner and I hope to see you there! Reply to this email for my registration link.

In just about a week, September 27-29, this year’s Heart to Heart Virtual Event focuses on creating holistic blueprints for living well with Lipedema and Lymphedema.
