Gentle, Specialized Support for Your Lymphatic System

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a light, rhythmic hands-on technique designed to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body.

Whether you're looking for general lymphatic support or appropriate care following surgery, your session is personalized to what your body needs and where you are in your recovery.

90 Minutes | $135

A gentle, full-body treatment designed to support healthy lymphatic movement and encourage the body's natural fluid-management processes.

Unlike traditional massage, MLD uses light, rhythmic and intentional movements rather than deep pressure.

This may be a good fit if you're looking for:

• General lymphatic support
• Support for feelings of puffiness or fluid retention
• A gentle alternative to traditional massage
• Support during periods of decreased activity or sluggishness
• Regular lymphatic wellness care

Personalized Recovery Support

Surgery can temporarily disrupt normal lymphatic movement and contribute to swelling, fluid accumulation and tissue changes during recovery.

Post-surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses gentle, specialized techniques to support lymphatic movement while respecting healing tissue and your surgeon's recovery instructions.

Care is adjusted according to your procedure, stage of healing, swelling, tissue condition and medical clearance when appropriate.

Common procedures include:

• Liposuction 
• Lipo 360
• Tummy Tuck/ Abdominoplasty
• BBL
• Breast Augmentation
• Other appropriate cosmetic or surgical procedures

MLD is intentionally gentle. 

The lymphatic vessels we're trying to influence are located close to the surface of the body, so effective lymphatic work does not require aggressive pressure.

Using slow, rhythmic and directional movements, I work with the body's lymphatic pathways to encourage fluid movement toward appropriate drainage regions.

Many clients find the treatment deeply relaxing, but the technique and intention are very different from a traditional relaxation or deep-tissue massage.

If you're looking for muscular work or deeper pressure, choose Massage Therapy instead.

Your Body Has Its Own Fluid-Management Network

The lymphatic system helps collect and transport excess fluid, proteins and cellular waste from tissues and returns filtered fluid to circulation.

Unlike the cardiovascular system, it doesn't have a central pump like the heart. Movement, breathing, muscle activity and other physiological mechanisms help move lymph through the system.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is one way of mechanically supporting that movement.

Your First MLD Appointment

1. We Talk First

We'll discuss why you're seeking MLD, relevant health history, swelling or concerns, and whether MLD is appropriate for you.

2. I Assess What I'm Seeing

Where appropriate, I'll observe areas of swelling, tissue changes and other relevant factors before beginning.

3. Your Treatment Is Personalized

MLD is performed using gentle, directional techniques based on the areas we're addressing.

4. We Discuss What Comes Next

Some clients use MLD periodically for wellness. Others may benefit from a short series depending on their goals and circumstances.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is gentle, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate for everyone.

Certain medical conditions, unexplained swelling or changes in your health may require medical evaluation or clearance before lymphatic treatment.

Please contact me before booking if you have:

• New or unexplained swelling
• Signs of infection, fever or active illness 
• Known or suspected blood clots
• Uncontrolled heart or kidney conditions
• New shortness of breath or unexplained chest symptoms
• Recent surgery without appropriate post-operative guidance
• A significant change in your health since your previous appointment

When something falls outside my scope of practice, I will always recommend that you contact the appropriate medical professional before treatment.

Post-operative lymphatic care requires different considerations than general wellness MLD.

Timing, incision healing, swelling patterns, compression garments, tissue condition, your specific procedure and your surgeon's instructions can all influence your treatment plan.

Post-Surgery Care

Lymphatic support · Swelling management · Tissue monitoring · Recovery guidance within my scope of practice

Some clients benefit from periodic MLD, while others (particularly during an appropriate post-surgical recovery plan) may require more frequent support for a period of time.
