Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, also know as Manual Lymph Drainage or MLD aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph fluid through the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system by increasing the volume of fluid moved by up to 10 times!
Manual Lymph Drainage® promotes healthy connective tissue, enhances the body's immune response, relieves pain, and sedates the sympathetic nervous system. Proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to your body’s ability to detoxify, nourish and regenerate tissue and to maintain a healthy immune system.
Many people use this treatment as a jumpstart to their holistic healing journey or to integrate during any cleansing or detoxification program.
MLD is specifically indicated to support detoxification and healing for Lyme Disease, and auto-immune diseases including fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue, allergies, eczema, arthritis. It is well known for treating and managing lymphedema.
Lymph Drainage is indicated as safe for post surgical treatments, and specifically for post oncology treatments where lymph nodes have been removed. It is the gold standard for management or prevention of post-surgical lymphedema.
Timely intervention with MLD helps to speed up recovery time, decrease swelling & bruising, prevent infection, alleviate pain, and minimize scarring & tissue hardening.
Begin receiving lymphatic massages as early as 4 days after some surgeries.
Client-centered sessions are individually tailored to meet your needs. After a thorough intake and consultation, I'll draw from my knowledge of Swedish, deep tissue massage, NMT and many other styles of bodywork to create a session that meets the goals we've established. Your preferences, your health history, and your current state of mind will all be important factors in the design of your session. I will encourage your feedback and share my observations at the end of each session.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
