lymphatic drainage massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an excellent treatment for swelling, puffiness, chronic illness, digestive issues, allergies and more.
-
Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining immune function and overall health.
During a lymphatic drainage massage, a trained therapist uses gentle, rhythmic motions to promote the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. This technique involves light pressure and specific hand movements that encourage lymphatic vessels to contract and drain accumulated fluid. The massage typically follows the natural pathways of the lymphatic system, which are located just beneath the skin.
-
Treatments use very light, stroking pressure on dry skin to stimulate lymphatic movement. May also be done over clothing.
-
60 minutes, $180

We recommend waiting at least 1 week after a vaginal birth or 4 weeks after a C-section, unless otherwise approved by your physician.
-
Postpartum treatments offer a quiet, relaxing, and restorative space to process the physical transitions of your body and caring for a newborn baby. We offer both a restorative postpartum massage, and a lymphatic drainage postpartum massage.
Our postpartum lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle, rhythmic technique to reduce swelling, ease postpartum discomfort (including C-section-related pain—recommended only after at least 2 weeks), and enhancing circulation. It can also support breastfeeding by improving milk flow and relieving engorgement. In addition to its physical benefits, this massage provides emotional support—offering a calming, nurturing space to help reduce stress and promote relaxation during the early postpartum period.
