Lymphatic Drainage for Overall Wellness


Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic bodywork technique designed to support the body’s natural detoxification and immune systems. 


This modality works by encouraging the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body, helping to reduce stagnation, swelling, and inflammation while promoting deep relaxation and balance.

Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic drainage uses light, intentional pressure to stimulate lymph flow just beneath the skin. 


This makes it both effective and nurturing—supporting whole-body wellness without stressing the nervous system.


Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage


Lymphatic drainage may support:

  • Reduced swelling and fluid retention
  • Improved immune function
  • Relief from chronic inflammation and pain
  • Improved circulation and tissue health
  • Support during times of stress, fatigue, or burnout
  • Faster recovery after illness, surgery, or injury (with medical clearance)
  • Overall relaxation and nervous system regulation

Many clients also report improved energy levels, better sleep, and a general sense of lightness and ease after sessions.


Who Can Benefit from Lymphatic Drainage


This service is beneficial for individuals seeking:


  • Overall wellness and preventative care
  • Support with chronic illness or autoimmune conditions
  • Relief from inflammation, edema, or bloating
  • Gentle bodywork during times of stress or exhaustion
  • Post-surgical or post-procedure support (with physician approval)
  • A calming, non-invasive therapeutic experience


Sessions are customized to meet each client’s unique needs and comfort level.

Lymphatic drainage is not recommended for individuals with:

  • Active infections or fever
  • Acute inflammation
  • Untreated cancer or cancer currently undergoing active treatment (unless cleared by a physician)

post surgery lymphatic drainage

Post-surgical lymphatic drainage is a specialized, gentle technique designed to support the body’s natural healing process following cosmetic and medical procedures. This modality encourages the movement of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, inflammation, and fluid buildup while supporting comfort and recovery.


After surgery, the lymphatic system can become overwhelmed due to trauma to the tissues. Lymphatic drainage helps the body clear excess fluid and metabolic waste more efficiently, promoting a smoother, more comfortable healing experience.


Common Procedures That Benefit from Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage


Lymphatic drainage is commonly recommended following procedures including, but not limited to:

  • Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
  • Lipo 360
  • Breast augmentation (implants)
  • Breast lift
  • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
  • Other cosmetic or reconstructive surgeries


All sessions are performed with care, respecting surgical sites, incisions, and the client’s stage of healing.


Benefits of Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage


Post-surgical lymphatic drainage may help:

  • Reduce swelling and fluid retention
  • Minimize discomfort and pressure
  • Support healthy scar tissue formation
  • Improve circulation and tissue health
  • Reduce the risk of fibrosis and hardening
  • Encourage a smoother, more even healing process
  • Promote relaxation and nervous system regulation during recovery


When to Start


Most clients begin lymphatic drainage within the first few days to weeks after surgery, depending on their procedure and their surgeon’s recommendations. A series of sessions is often suggested for optimal results, especially during the early stages of recovery.


Medical clearance from your surgeon is required prior to booking post-surgical lymphatic drainage.


Who Should Not Receive Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage


This service is not appropriate for individuals with:

  • Active infection or fever
  • Open or unhealed wounds beyond surgical expectations
  • Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Kidney failure
  • Untreated cancer or cancer currently undergoing active treatment (unless cleared by a physician)

If you have concerns or complex medical conditions, please consult your healthcare provider before scheduling.


A Gentle, Supportive Approach to Healing


Post-surgical lymphatic drainage sessions are gentle, intentional, and tailored to your body’s needs and stage of recovery. The focus is on comfort, safety, and supporting the body’s innate healing abilities—never forcing or manipulating tissue.


This service is intended to complement, not replace, medical care and post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Mild Lymphedema

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Mild Lymphedema

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Mild Lymphedema

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized technique designed to support the movement of lymph fluid within the body. For individuals with mild lymphedema, MLD can be a supportive part of a comprehensive wellness and self-care plan when provided by a trained practitioner and with appropriate medical guidance.


What Is Lymphedema?


Lymphedema is a condition in which lymph fluid accumulates in the tissues, causing swelling—most commonly in the arms, legs, abdomen, or other areas of the body. This can occur when the lymphatic system is compromised or overwhelmed due to:

  • Surgery or lymph node removal
  • Radiation therapy
  • Injury or trauma
  • Chronic illness
  • Congenital or hereditary lymphatic conditions

Symptoms of mild lymphedema may include swelling, heaviness, tightness, reduced range of motion, or changes in skin texture.


How Manual Lymphatic Drainage Can Help


For individuals with mild lymphedema, MLD may help:

  • Encourage lymph fluid movement and drainage
  • Reduce swelling and fluid buildup
  • Decrease feelings of heaviness or discomfort
  • Support tissue health and circulation
  • Promote relaxation and nervous system balance


MLD uses slow, rhythmic, and light-touch techniques that follow the natural pathways of the lymphatic system. Sessions are customized to the individual’s presentation and tolerance.

Manual lymphatic drainage for lymphedema is not a cure, but it may be a beneficial supportive therapy when used alongside medical care, compression garments, exercise, and proper skin care as recommended by a healthcare provider.


Who Is Appropriate for MLD for Mild Lymphedema


This service may be appropriate for individuals who:

  • Have been diagnosed with mild or early-stage lymphedema
  • Have medical clearance when required
  • Are seeking gentle, non-invasive support
  • Are committed to ongoing self-care practices

Clients with moderate to severe lymphedema may require specialized clinical treatment and should consult a certified lymphedema therapist or medical professional.


Who Should Not Receive Manual Lymphatic Drainage


Manual lymphatic drainage is not recommended for individuals with:

  • Active infection or cellulitis
  • Fever or acute inflammation
  • Untreated or active cancer (unless cleared by a physician)
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Kidney failure
  • Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis

If you are unsure whether MLD is appropriate for your condition, please consult your healthcare provider prior to booking.


A Gentle, Supportive Approach


Sessions are performed with care, respect, and attentiveness to your body’s needs. The goal is to support comfort, safety, and overall wellness while honoring the body’s natural healing processes.


Manual lymphatic drainage for mild lymphedema is offered as a supportive wellness service and is not intended to replace medical diagnosis or treatment.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Mild Lymphedema

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized technique that supports the movement of lymph fluid and helps reduce inflammation and fluid congestion in the body. For individuals with mild lipedema, MLD can be a supportive wellness therapy when incorporated into a comprehensive care plan and performed by a trained practitioner.


What Is Lipedema?


Lipedema is a chronic fat and connective tissue disorder that primarily affects women and most often appears in the legs, hips, thighs, buttocks, and sometimes the arms. It is characterized by an abnormal and often painful accumulation of fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

  • Pain, tenderness, or sensitivity to touch
  • Easy bruising
  • Swelling that may worsen throughout the day
  • A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the affected areas


Over time, lipedema can place strain on the lymphatic system, potentially contributing to fluid buildup and inflammation.


How Manual Lymphatic Drainage May Help


For individuals with mild or early-stage lipedema, MLD may help:

  • Support lymphatic flow and fluid movement
  • Reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Decrease sensations of heaviness or discomfort
  • Support tissue health and circulation
  • Promote relaxation and nervous system regulation


MLD uses slow, rhythmic, and light-touch techniques designed to encourage lymph flow without stressing sensitive tissues.

Manual lymphatic drainage is not a cure for lipedema, but it may be a beneficial supportive therapy when used alongside medical care, movement, compression therapy, and lifestyle support as recommended by a healthcare provider.


Who Is Appropriate for MLD for Mild Lipedema


This service may be appropriate for individuals who:

  • Have been diagnosed with mild or early-stage lipedema
  • Are seeking gentle, non-invasive support
  • Experience swelling, tenderness, or heaviness
  • Have medical clearance when needed

  • Active infection or cellulitis
  • Fever or acute inflammation
