Your Questions, Answered

  • Lymphatic drainage (Manual Lymph Drainage/MLD) is gentle, precise work designed to support the movement of lymph and tissue fluid. It is light-pressure, and is not deep tissue. It’s more like helping the body return to a smoother current, as lymph can very much be compared to a flowing stream within the body.

  • It can support people who feel puffy, heavy, swollen, “slow to drain,” or inflamed, especially after long periods of sitting, travel, stress, or post-surgical swelling (when cleared). It’s also commonly sought by clients with lipedema and lymphedema support needs.

  • No. True lymphatic work is typically very light. If you want deeper pressure, that’s usually a fascia-focused session, not lymphatic drainage (which we also offer!)

  • People often report feeling lighter, calmer, and less “stuck.” Some feel sleepy or very relaxed. Hydration and gentle movement afterward can help support the effects.

  • You’ll be on the table like a typical massage appointment. The massage therapist will ask you to undress to your level of comfort, and leave the room while you do so, just like a normal massage session. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing is a nice bonus for post-session body ease.

  • Yes, if it’s appropriate timing and you have medical clearance when needed. You’ll be asked for your surgery type and date, and we’ll stay within safe guidelines.

  • If you have a fever, active infection, suspected blood clot (DVT), unexplained sudden swelling, chest pain, or shortness of breath, do not book, seek medical care. If you have complex cardiac/kidney conditions, you may need clearance first.

  • Maderotherapy is targeted, fascia-focused work using wooden tools. People often book it for cellulite patterns, tissue congestion, lower-body tightness, and contour support. It’s not a “quick fix”, it’s about changing terrain over time.

  • his is a lymph + fascia approach designed especially for clients with lipedema patterns or dense lower-body congestion. We open lymph pathways first, then do decongestive tissue work in targeted areas, then restore flow again.
