Gepina’s commitment to comfort, pain relief, and compassionate care grew from her experience when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. That experience helped shape the Cohesive Therapy approach.
Gepina graduated from the Maui School of Therapeutic Massage and has studied therapeutic techniques in South Africa, Hawaii, Thailand, and the United States. She has continued her training in Vodder lymphatic drainage with ACOLS and completed CDT training with Norton. She continues to study lymphedema and oncology care.
Gepina’s teaching career began with classes at the University of Western States and lymphatic retreats for therapists through the university. She also teaches TMJ intraoral coursework at Bodymechanics School of Myotherapy. Today, her greatest professional passion is training therapists in the Gepina Method Lymphatic approach so they can grow their skills and provide individualized care.
At Cohesive Therapy, her team works alongside surgeons, naturopathic doctors, primary care physicians, and rehabilitation clinics to support clients’ care. Gepina guides the center’s client care and operations, helping each person feel heard and cared for from their first call.
Outside of work, she enjoys prayer and attending Crossroads Church. She is committed to uplifting women in her community and helping them find strength in themselves and their faith.
