Treatment FAQs

  • Each service is designed with a specific focus:

    • Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage
      A rhythmic, full-body approach that supports fluid movement, reduces feelings of heaviness, and promotes a lighter, more relaxed state. Ideal for bloating, hormonal shifts, and general wellness.

    • Lymphatic Drainage Massage
      A slower, precise technique focused on supporting the lymphatic system in cases of swelling, inflammation, or sensitivity. Suitable for both acute and chronic conditions.

    • Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage
      Tailored care following surgery to support healing, reduce swelling, and assist with tissue recovery.

    • Therapeutic Massage
      Focused on muscular tension, stress, and pain relief. May include additional techniques based on your needs.

    If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to book Lymphatic Drainage Massage or reach out for guidance.

  • Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage uses a faster, more rhythmic and continuous flow, addressing the full body in a single session. It supports lymphatic movement, helping to reduce fluid retention and ease feelings of bloating or digestive discomfort.

    Lymphatic Drainage Massage (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) is slower and highly targeted, often used when a more gentle or clinically focused approach is appropriate. It may also incorporate elements of massage therapy to support muscle tension and circulation.

  • What to Expect: Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage or Lymphatic Drainage Massage

    Your appointment begins with a review of your health history, followed by a short consultation to understand your concerns and treatment goals.

    Lymphatic Drainage is performed directly on the skin using light, rhythmic techniques designed to support the movement of lymph fluid. You will be fully draped throughout the session for comfort and privacy.

    Treatment may focus on specific areas or involve a more comprehensive, full-body approach depending on your needs. Essential oils can also be incorporated.

    The pressure used is gentle and precise. This treatment is not intended to address deep muscle tension, but rather to support the lymphatic system and reduce swelling or feelings of heaviness.

    Abdominal work may be included when appropriate, as this area plays an important role in lymphatic flow.

    After treatment, it’s common to feel lighter, more relaxed, or slightly fatigued. Some clients also notice increased urination or digestive activity.

    What to Expect: Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage

    Your first visit begins with a review of your health history, surgical procedure, and current stage of healing. Treatment is always adapted to your body, your comfort level, and your surgeon’s recommendations.

    Lymphatic Drainage is performed using lighter techniques to support fluid movement, reduce swelling, and assist with overall tissue recovery. You will be fully draped throughout the session, and positioning on the treatment table is carefully adjusted based on your procedure and stage of healing as well.

    Timing depends on your procedure and surgeon’s recommendations:

    • All surgeries: treatments can start at typically 2+ weeks or with medical clearance

    • 6 weeks or more: firmer pressure and scar tissue massage can be incorporated while ensuring safety and comfort.

    Treatments will be targeted to the surgical area and fluid will be moved away to nearby lymph node clusters and associated lymphatic pathways.

    After treatment, it’s common to feel lighter, more relaxed, or slightly fatigued. Some patients also notice increased urination or digestive activity.

    What to Expect: Therapeutic Massage Therapy

    Your first visit begins with your health history and consent forms, followed by a brief conversation to understand your goals and preferences. Treatment is customized, you may choose to focus on a specific area or a full-body session.

    Sessions may incorporate additional techniques such as cupping, essential oils, or facial gua sha when appropriate.

    Pressure is always tailored to your comfort. I will check in as needed, and you are encouraged to communicate at any time. You will be fully draped throughout the session for privacy.

    Certain areas including the glutes, inner thighs, and chest are only treated when clinically appropriate and with your informed, written consent.

    After your session, we’ll briefly review how you’re feeling and discuss any recommended self-care. Most people leave feeling deeply relaxed and sleepy!
