The Lymphatic Drainage Massage is the perfect detoxifying treatment to add to your monthly routine or prepare yourself before or after a surgical procedure. It is also beneficial to everyone who is recovering from an illness, managing an autoimmune disease, or suffers from poor circulation, immune system, or digestive system disorders. This treatment will elevate your energy levels, regulate your digestive tract, boost your immune system, improve sleep and mood, balance your hormones, and so much more. If you want to start a healthy lifestyle and need to reset your systems, lymphatic detox is for YOU.
Your lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels and nodes throughout your body. These nodes filter debris to clean your lymph fluid before returning it to your circulatory system. The Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses a technique that assists your lymphatic system through a series of manual techniques to ensure proper circulation and function of your lymphatic system.

I will employ the Brazilian lymphatic drainage techniques during your treatment, using manual pumping, stretching, mindful pushing, and pulling of tissues to assist your lymphatic system. Lymph drainage therapy is peaceful and meditative to receive. If the drainage is performed within the first four weeks post-liposuction or any other surgery, it may feel a bit more invasive. As long as you communicate with me, I will ensure a comfortable experience with the best outcome. Afterward, it is common to feel lighter, refreshed, and quite thirsty. Drinking plenty of water before and after your session is highly recommended for optimal detoxification results.

The Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be beneficial pre or post-surgery, depending on desired results.
