Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle and non-invasive treatment designed to enhance the flow and function of the lymphatic system.
This vital system plays a key role in various bodily functions, including immune defense, fluid balance, digestion, and the initial stages of injury repair.
During treatment, we will focus on your specific goals and areas of concern to ensure a tailored approach for optimal results.
We welcome you to experience the benefits of improved lymphatic flow and overall well-being.

Post Surgical Swelling
An important addition to your post surgical recovery. This treatment can help to manage pain, reduce excessive fluid build up, and support your immune system to reduce the risk of infection.
Immune System Support
Areas of swelling and congestion are areas of poor lymphatic flow and decreased immune response. If you are prone to sickness or surrounded by sick people then a proactive approach to your immune function is recommended. Post surgery or wound care can also benefit from a Lymphatic Drainage treatment.
Swelling in the Legs
Time and gravity are mighty forces on the lymphatic system in your legs. Many of us are also overly sedentary which only serves to compound ankle swelling. We work with you to develop a management schedule that can include self care strategies that fit into your life.
Fatigue
If you are feeling "run down" or are living with a chronic condition like Long Covid, this treatment can help to reduce the severity of symptoms. Lymphatic drainage is a very restful treatment and many clients report a feeling of being recharged in a way that is similar to a deep meditative practice. A 30 minute treatment can help to restore flow and function to the system.
Autoimmune Conditions
Eczema, arthritis, and IBS are some of the conditions that clients have reported a reduction in symptoms with consistent treatment. The lymphatic system is a major pathway for waste clearance in the body and optimizing function could help with many other autoimmune conditions. If you have any questions about the treatment and if it is right for you please don't hesitate to contact us.
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
New research has come out in the last couple of years that suggests poor drainage of the meninges in the brain to be linked to the gradual buildup of proteins that cause the increased symptomology of these conditions. While research is still theoretical for human populations, lymphatic drainage could be a proactive and non-invasive early intervention.
Stress Reduction
Stress hormones can affect the function of the lymphatic system. Long periods of stress can lead to an overall reduction of flow and a build up of congestion or swelling. The treatment itself is very relaxing and can be utilized as a stress management tool while at the same time working with your body to restore balance.
After Breast Cancer Treatment
Reduction in swelling post surgery helps to reduce the pain caused by congestion and allows for a better immune response. For more information about the many ways massage can help after breast cancer surgery please visit our breast health page.
Allergies and Digestive Issues
Seasonal allergies, digestive issues or chronic exposure to common allergens can leave you feeling "run down". This treatment can be a proactive approach to managing your immune system function as it is very helpful to balance your lymphatic response. Often times clients will come in for treatment prior to allergy season or if they know that they will be exposed to irritants. If are chronically in contact a maintenance schedule might be the best option.
