Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Light, rhythmic strokes to support detox and reduce swelling

Lymphatic drainage looks deceptively gentle, but it's some of the most precise work I do. The lymph system sits just under the skin — using too much pressure actually shuts it down. The right featherlight rhythm activates lymph flow, helps your body clear inflammation, and supports immunity. It's a workhorse for post-surgery recovery, chronic inflammation, and stubborn puffiness.

What it helps with

  • ·Reduces swelling and water retention
  • ·Supports post-surgical recovery (cosmetic and reconstructive)
  • ·Aids recovery from illness and inflammation
  • ·Boosts immune function
  • ·Calming and deeply restorative

Especially good for

  • ·Post-surgical recovery (with surgeon clearance)
  • ·Chronic inflammation or autoimmune conditions
  • ·Lymphedema management (mild cases)
  • ·Recovery from illness
  • ·Anyone with persistent puffiness or sluggish circulation

What to expect

  1. 01Very light pressure — like a slow brushing of the skin.
  2. 02Rhythmic, repeated strokes following lymphatic pathways.
  3. 03Always toward the major lymph nodes — direction matters.
  4. 04Gentler than any other massage I offer, and surprisingly powerful.

Common questions

I just had surgery — when can I get lymphatic drainage?

Always check with your surgeon first. For most cosmetic surgeries, the cleared window is often around 72 hours post-op for very gentle work. Bring your surgeon's clearance and any post-op instructions.

Can lymphatic drainage really help with bloating?

It can help with fluid-retention puffiness and sluggish circulation. It's not a weight-loss tool — anyone who tells you that is selling something. But for inflammation and water retention, it's genuinely effective.
