We’re looking forward to introducing you to Fiona Roberts. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Fiona , thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Time disappears for me when I’m in the rhythm of healing…..hands moving intuitively, energy shifting, hearts softening. That’s when I feel deeply connected to my purpose and to the people God places in my path. I lose myself in the work, but I always find myself in the gratitude, peace, and transformation that follows.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Fiona Roberts, founder of Lympha Spa and Massage in Clive, Iowa. My business was born from both passion and survival. After overcoming ovarian and endometrial cancer at 35, I felt called to help others heal, detox, and reconnect with their bodies in the same natural, nurturing way that helped me rebuild mine.
At Lympha Spa, we focus on lymphatic health, post-surgery recovery, detox therapies, and thermography with specialties like Lympha Renew (pressotherapy) and the Halo Sauna, two of our most loved treatments for deep detox and relaxation. Every service is designed to help the body release what no longer serves it physically, emotionally, and energetically.
What makes us special is the heart behind what we do. We don’t just offer treatments, we create a safe space for healing and transformation. Every person who walks through our doors becomes part of our “Lympha Family.”
Today, I’m expanding that mission through Lympha Academy, where I teach my signature Lympha Method™, and through our nonprofit, Heart of Lympha, which provides free massages to cancer patients in need. My story and the story of Lympha Spa is truly about hope, healing, and helping others feel healthy and beautiful from the inside out.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I grew up in Bangkok, Thailand, in an environment that was often painful and unpredictable. I went through abuse, heartbreak, obstacles, and even cancer each chapter shaping me in ways I never expected. For a long time, I was just trying to survive and find my purpose, to understand who I truly was beneath everything the world told me I should be.
Before all of that, I was a gentle, curious soul who simply wanted to love, to bring comfort, and to help others feel safe. Today, that little girl still lives inside me but now she’s stronger, wiser, and full of empathy. Because of everything I’ve been through, I have so much compassion for people who are hurting, lost, or trying to heal. That empathy is what guides me every day at Lympha Spa and Massage. Through helping others heal, I continue to find and heal myself.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes. There was a time when life felt too heavy when I was battling cancer and carrying years of pain from abuse, heartbreak, and loss. I remember feeling completely empty, wondering if I had anything left to give.
But even in that darkness, a small voice inside reminded me that I wasn’t done yet. I prayed and surrendered everything I couldn’t control. In that moment, I found God’s strength and a deeper purpose for my life.
That’s when I made a promise to myself that if I made it through, I would help others heal too. That promise became Lympha Spa and Massage, a place built from faith, resilience, and empathy. Every person who walks through our doors reminds me that pain can be transformed into purpose, and that healing is always possible.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would say that what really matters to me is people their hearts, their healing, and their peace. I care deeply about helping others feel seen, loved, and restored. Whether it’s through my work at Lympha Spa or in my personal life, I lead with empathy.
After everything I’ve been through abuse, heartbreak, and cancer I see people differently. I understand pain, and I also understand the beauty that comes from healing. What matters most to me is living with integrity, walking in faith, and making sure every person who crosses my path feels better than when they came. That’s the heart behind everything I do.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people will tell the story of a woman who turned her pain into purpose. Someone who faced abuse, heartbreak, and cancer but still chose love, faith, and healing. I want to be remembered as a woman who helped others see that they are never too broken to begin again.
Through Lympha Spa and Massage, I’ve been able to touch lives and remind people that healing isn’t just physical it’s emotional and spiritual too. Through Heart of Lympha, I hope my legacy continues to bring comfort and hope to those who need it most.
And if something happened to me tomorrow, I would say I’m proud of myself and everything I’ve created because it all came from love, resilience, and faith. Every struggle I faced became the foundation for something beautiful that now helps others heal. That’s the legacy I want to leave behind.
