Dr. Heather Ubiles
(She/Her/Hers)
PT, DPT, CMLDT
It’s hard not to get overwhelmed with emotion when I think about how incredibly lucky we are to have Dr. Heather Ubiles on our team. She’s not only an exceptional critical (and practical) thinker but also has a natural curiosity and hunger for understanding the underlying cause of why things are the way they are. She has a deep-rooted desire to get to the heart of an issue and fix it at the source. In addition, she has a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life and instantly put them at ease. Heather’s clients consistently rave about how “seen/heard” and understood she makes them feel—I think this is such a rare and special trait.
Shortly after Heather started working with us, I asked her to spearhead Austin Pelvic Floor Therapy. My own experience at another pelvic floor clinic had left me feeling discouraged (to put it mildly), and I knew there had to be a better, safer space for clients to address these deeply personal issues. Heather was the perfect person to take on this role. She has a way of blending her warmth, insight, and no-nonsense approach to create a safe, welcoming environment for even the most vulnerable conversations. The complexities of the human body just seem to click for her, and she navigates every case with confidence, insight, and grace.
Heather’s path to physical therapy is a reflection of her natural curiosity and love for learning. Growing up, she was an avid soccer player, but frequent injuries sidelined her before college. Those setbacks planted the seeds for her fascination with healing and recovery. After a particularly serious ankle injury led her to physical therapy, she discovered a passion for the mind-body connection and the science of healing. She earned her B.A. in Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin, where she cultivated her love for neuroscience and neuroplasticity—the brain’s incredible ability to rewire and heal itself. For Heather, the idea of combining neuroscience with movement, problem-solving, and human connection was irresistible. It wasn’t long before she completed her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Texas State University and embarked on her career.
During a clinical rotation in Wound Care and Lymphedema CDT at St. David’s, Heather found her true niche in the lymphatic system. She was captivated by its physiology and the profound role it plays in healing and recovery. Recognizing how lymphatic challenges delayed healing for her patients, she pursued certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, determined to help her clients feel better and heal faster. Heather brings this same passion for discovery and dedication to every session, empowering her clients to take charge of their health and return to the activities they love most.
Heather’s ideal clients include those dealing with pelvic pain, infertility issues, postpartum discomfort, Lipedema/Lipoedema, breast and pelvic oncological and surgical recovery, or orthopedic physical therapy needs. She loves working with patients post-breast reduction, mastectomy, DIEP flap, bladder lift, hysterectomy, endometrial tissue excision, and more. Her dedication to addressing pelvic health is a defining aspect of her work, but her expertise and passion extend far beyond, and she loves taking on new challenges.
Heather doesn’t just treat the body; she listens, connects, and creates space for her clients to feel genuinely cared for. Since joining Austin Lymphatic, she has built a loyal client base and become a trusted expert in our field. Heather, we are endlessly grateful for you… you have no idea. Your warmth, compassion, and dedication make all of us—and our clients—better every day. We’re so proud to have you here with us.

Kate Campbell LMT, CMLDT
Through Kate’s time at Austin Lymphatic, she has become one of the most solid practitioners I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From the moment she joined us, she had a knack for attracting the trickiest cases. Time and again, something completely wild would land on her table, and every time, Kate would critically think her way through it with grace and skill, making a huge difference in these clients’ recovery. Her ability to assess, adapt, and apply her knowledge to complex situations is truly remarkable.
Kate’s insights during team brainstorms are always refreshing. Over the years, she has continued to push us forward by encouraging us to reach out to new patient populations by having us offer new services and a more comprehensive educational approach. She has a way of looking at challenges from angles no one else considers, and her contributions have elevated not only her own practice but the entire clinic.
Personally, I’ve found her manual work to resonate with my body particularly well, in a way that’s both deeply effective and profoundly restorative…. I absolutely love her work!
If you’re in need of a truly deep flush, recovering from a facelift, or a mommy-makeover, navigating pre- or postpartum swelling, managing Lipedema, or dealing with vascular issues like chronic venous insufficiency, Kate is a great choice. Her intuitive approach and technical skill make her an exceptional therapist who’s ready to meet your needs with care and precision .
Kate is constantly diving into her own studies and research, scouring the internet and books to uncover new ways to help her patients and better understand her own body. Her dedication to learning and growing ensures that she brings fresh insights and techniques to every session.
Originally from the Northeast, Kate has called Austin home for well over a decade. When she’s not working, you can find her exploring native Central Texas plants, tending to her garden, or planning her next adventure. Edinburgh and Lisbon are at the top of her travel list, and she’s always looking for new places to explore. Kate’s presence at Austin Lymphatic brings a unique blend of skill, curiosity, and compassion that truly makes her one of a kind. We absolutely adore Kate, and know you will too!

Melissa Morgan LMT
Melissa is one of the most passionate and driven people I’ve ever met. When she sets her sights on something, she’s all in—and right now, that something is lymph. I first met Melissa at a massage therapy meetup I was hosting, and it’s fair to say she made an impression. You know when she’s in the room—her radiant smile, big personality, and boundless energy light up any space. Our paths crossed again when she took my Integrative Lymphatic Therapy class in Dallas. Out of a room full of 50 students, Melissa stood out as a first-class therapist. Her deep knowledge of anatomy and physiology, combined with her ability to apply that knowledge to help clients out of pain, is remarkable. It’s the true mark of an exceptional massage therapist. Both of us being Continuing Ed junkies (Melissa outpacing me), it wasn’t long before we ended up in another intensive class together—this time a three-day training on eliminating nerve compression patterns. It just felt like fate. Since joining Austin Lymphatic, Melissa has built an incredibly loyal tribe of clients. She’s our go-to for all things musculoskeletal and isn’t afraid to blend any and all techniques in her extensive toolbox. Every session with Melissa is a unique blend of relaxation and effectiveness, tailored to meet each client’s specific needs. Her approach to bodywork is creative and deeply intentional, blending her expertise with her artistic mind to develop innovative solutions for her clients. Her holistic approach to bodywork extends far beyond massage therapy. She got certified as a Pilates instructor, functional fitness trainer, and mobility specialist before earning her massage therapy license. But lymphatic work quickly became her calling—combining her passions for movement and massage with her fascination for the often-overlooked lymphatic system. Her joy and obsession with this work is contagious, and her sessions reflect that passion. With all this training and knowledge at her disposal, I find that Melissa is best suited for clients who’ve recently had plastic or orthopedic surgeries or are trying to avoid surgery, those seeking Myofascial Body Contouring and those with postural issues, general swelling, neck pain, back pain, any pain! She has also, most recently been certified in Ashiatsu that she doesn’t hesitate to incorporate when she sees fit. Her big personality, warmth, and humor make her a joy to be around—and while she’s definitely the life of the party, she’s also deeply focused on her clients’ needs and able to hold space for them to unwind and truly relax. Melissa, you’re a true gem. I love how you’re always the first one to bust out new tools like our precursor or microcurrent machine to see the impact that can have on your clients. Your wonderful and adventurous curiosity resonates in all you do and I think it sets you up to be a stellar practitioner. Your enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication make Austin Lymphatic a better place. Clients lucky enough to land on your table can expect a transformative experience, blending compassionate care with your unmatched expertise. We’re so lucky to have you here with us!

Tai Hughes LMT, CMLDT
When I think about Tai (pronounced Ty / like Thailand)Bringing Tai onboard was a no-brainer. With over 20 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist, she’s honed her skills in medical, chiropractic, and spa settings, building an impressive and versatile “toolbox” of techniques.
But discovering lymphatic massage was a turning point for Tai. The intricacies of the lymphatic system and its role in healing captivated her, and it quickly became her true passion. Over the years, she’s developed a deep expertise in lymphatic work, with a special focus on pre- and post-operative care, TMJ pain, headaches, and general wellness. Her work is both effective and transformative- just read her google reviews.
Tai’s style is truly one-of-a-kind. Her hands move in a wave-like flow that’s impossible to mimic but remarkably effective. Beyond her technical skills, Tai’s kindness and southern hospitality has a way of making everyone feel cared for and supported, creating a safe and comfortable environment for her clients to heal and thrive.
Tai has found her home here at Austin Lymphatic. In addition to keeping a back to back client schedule, she is also our clinic manager and is happy to help you with anything you need (even if you’re not her client).
Tai has become an integral part of our family and I feel so fortunate to have her on our team.
Tai, you make this place better in every way, and I’m endlessly grateful for your unwavering dedication, your incredible talent, and the profound impact you have on everyone you touch.

Emily Anderson
At Austin Lymphatic, we believe the best practitioners are not only highly skilled but deeply compassionate—and Emily embodies both.
Now, let me tell you the truth about Emily. She’s my stepdaughter and my absolute best friend. She’s been my teaching assistant since the very beginning, and I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible practitioner (and person) she’s become. Before you make any assumptions about her age, let me share why Emily is an exceptional fit for Austin Lymphatic—and why you’d be incredibly lucky to land on her table.
I met Emily when she was just 9 years old. Many of you know that my husband, Ben, is a chiropractor—he’s the one who encouraged me to pursue bodywork in the first place. Because of this, Emily grew up immersed in the world of manual therapies. Whether she was watching her dad work, listening to me talk about the lymphatic system, or giving foot massages to earn extra bedtime privileges, bodywork was woven into her everyday life. Emily has always been naturally curious and incredibly bright, and her ability to grasp anatomy and physiology concepts with ease was remarkable from a young age.
When COVID hit, Emily was a junior in high school. Spring break turned into an extended stay-at-home period, and like many students, her world shifted overnight. Emily had always been an exceptional student, earning acceptance letters from prestigious universities like Harvard and Yale. But in the uncertainty of lockdown, her practical side took over. Instead of waiting for the world to return to normal, she chose to graduate early and enroll in massage school to start earning money while figuring out her long-term path.
By the time she turned 18, Emily was not only a licensed massage therapist but also certified in lymphatic drainage. She joined our team at Austin Lymphatic and spent several years working alongside me, treating hundreds of clients with compassion and skill.
Over time, Emily’s lifelong dream of becoming a medical doctor shifted. She’s now attending Texas State University with plans to become a counselor—an incredible fit for her warm, empathetic nature. While she pursues her degree, she’s one of our dedicated “weekend warriors,” balancing her studies with her role at Austin Lymphatic.
Emily’s knowledge base is exceptional, but what truly sets her apart is her heart. She’s one of the most loving, caring, and hilarious people I’ve ever known. Her ability to connect with clients is unmatched, and she brings that warmth into every session.
If you’re looking for someone with a natural understanding of the body, strong intuition, and an incredible knack for putting people at ease, Emily is the practitioner for you. She’s especially skilled in body contouring, post-operative lymphatic massage, and working with clients managing autoimmune conditions. Her ability to combine technical expertise with genuine compassion makes her a standout in our practice.
So, if you find yourself scheduled with Emily, know that you’re in the hands of someone who not only knows her craft but truly cares about your well-being. Trust me—you’ll leave feeling better than you thought possible.
On a personal note, I feel incredibly lucky to have Emily in my life—not just as a stepdaughter, but as a true friend and trusted colleague. Working with her has been one of the greatest joys of my career, and I couldn’t imagine this journey without her by my side. I love you so much Emily!
