Candy’s Charm At Elegance Lymphatic Care
There’s truly no one like Candy, the four-legged assistant who’s ready to greet you with a wagging tail at Elegance Lymphatic Care.
As you slide open the clinic doors, you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting space and by none other than a friendly, well-mannered kelpie-cross staffy named Candy.
Her story is as charming as her name. It all began when a client on her way to an appointment at Elegance Lymphatic Care, stumbled upon a lonely puppy with a can stuck on her head. The clinic’s owner, Laura Hamilton, offered to look after her until a home could be found … and she never left.
Laura said that from that quirky encounter came her fitting name: Can-dy.
“Fast forward thirteen years, and Candy is now a beloved family and community member,” Laura said.
“Our daughter especially adores her, and the bond between them is truly unbreakable.”
Despite her advanced age, heart failure, the challenges of a small liver and lymphoedema pooling in her stomach, Candy has thrived under Laura's care over the years.
That’s because Laura has been quietly revolutionising lymphatic care, blending advanced technology with traditional massage techniques to offer hope to those battling lymphoedema, lipedema, and post-surgical swelling.
Her clinic in Marian has become a retreat for those seeking relief, from athletes to patients recovering from major surgeries. And, in a serendipitous twist of fate, it wasn’t just her human clients who found relief—her beloved pup, Candy, also benefited.
With her professional expertise, Laura has been treating Candy's lymphoedema by using a specialised laser tool to improve circulation, along with a lymphatic taping technique known as jellyfish taping for extra support.
The results have been remarkable, with Laura saying that even the vet has noticed the vast improvements in Candy’s health.
Whether you’re visiting the clinic for a lymphatic press, manual lymphatic drainage, decongestion therapy, low level cold laser or Hivamat treatment, you’re in the capable hands of Laura - with Candy by your side for extra comfort.
Candy is a hit with clients at Elegance Lymphatic Care, especially those with NDIS. Many find comfort in petting her soft, luscious coat during their treatments, and Laura shares that Candy’s good behaviour and charm have made her a favourite. Clients eagerly look forward to seeing her on their next visit often asking where she is if she is not waiting for them.
Around the town of Marian, Candy is much like a local celebrity. Everyone knows her by name, and she’s even a regular at the school, where she joins Laura’s daughter for walks and makes appearances during show-and-tell. Her fan base grows daily.
For all her hard work, Candy lives a pampered life. Whether it’s playing dress-up, getting groomed, or lounging in her oversized pink princess bed, Candy is living in luxury, always ready to charm the next round of clients.
With Candy by your side, feel your worries fade away as you embrace the relaxing atmosphere of the clinic. Coupled with Laura’s compassionate care, qualified guidance and professional touch, this dynamic duo guarantees an experience that’s as comforting as it is transformative.
