About Grace

Grace Suphattra Duemmler Duong, CMMP, CMT, CMLDT, CLT, CSST

Clinical Massage Practitioner | Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Specialist | Holistic Healer

With over two decades of experience, Grace Suphattra Duemmler Duong stands as one of California’s most respected and sought-after massage practitioners in post-surgical rehabilitation. A Certified Medical Massage Practitioner with advanced credentials in lymphatic therapy, oncology-adapted massage, and clinical recovery techniques, Grace is renowned for her transformative work across cosmetic, reconstructive, and complex surgical cases.

Her journey began in the legal field, where she worked as a legal assistant before discovering her true calling: to bring comfort, relief, and restoration through therapeutic touch. This awakening led her to immerse herself in rigorous training—studying anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based rehabilitation modalities—and ultimately redefining the standard of care in post-op massage therapy.

Grace’s approach is deeply holistic. She treats the body as a vessel of interconnected systems—physical, emotional, and energetic—believing that true recovery requires nurturing all three. Her sessions are never formulaic; each treatment plan is meticulously tailored to the patient’s condition, goals, and emotional state, offering a sanctuary for healing that is both clinical and compassionate.

Her expertise spans:

• Cosmetic & Reconstructive Recovery: Breast augmentation, lifts, mommy makeovers, tummy tucks, liposuction, facelifts, rhinoplasty, etc
• Advanced Techniques: Clinical Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), fibrosis reduction, implant site swelling management
• Special Populations: Oncology, autoimmune conditions, adipose disorders, lymphatic impaired conditions, PTSD, chronic pain, and pediatric care

Grace’s practice is anchored in continuous learning and ethical excellence. She actively pursues advanced education, integrates cutting-edge technologies, and collaborates with top physicians to ensure her patients receive the safest, most effective care available. Her reputation spans Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Orange County, where she is frequently referred to by elite surgeons and loyal clientele, including newborns, athletes, and celebrities.

Beyond technique, Grace offers something rare: a healing presence. Her work is not just about recovery, it’s about renewal, empowerment, and the quiet strength that comes from being truly seen and cared for.
