Lymphatic Massage

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, specialized form of bodywork designed to support your body’s natural cleansing, healing, and restorative processes. Using soft, rhythmic movements, this practice encourages the flow of lymph—a vital fluid that helps remove toxins, support immunity, and maintain fluid balance throughout the body.

Previously, I was a LANA-certified Lymphedema Therapist, trained in Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), the international gold standard for managing lymphedema and related conditions. Today, I offer lymphatic drainage massage for those experiencing swelling or lymphatic challenges, as well as anyone seeking the restorative benefits of this gentle, supportive work.

How Lymphatic Drainage Massage Works

In a lymphatic drainage massage, gentle, rhythmic movements are applied to guide lymph fluid through the body’s natural pathways. Sometimes we work with deeper lymphatic structures in the abdominal regions as well, which may involve some deeper pressure and guided breathing techniques. Lymphatic drainage massage techniques:

  • Support healthy lymph flow, helping to reduce swelling and ease fluid retention

  • Promotes detoxification and tissue rejuvenation at a cellular level

  • Calms the nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional balance, and overall well-being

  • Encourages balance and harmony in the body, creating a subtle sense of renewal and vitality

Each session is personalized to your needs, honoring your comfort, rhythm, and current state of health. Whether you’re managing swelling, recovering from surgery, or simply seeking a restorative and replenishing experience, manual lymphatic drainage offers both tangible physical benefits and a profound sense of ease and renewal.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage

  • Helps manage swelling and fluid retention

  • Reduces feelings of heaviness or tension

  • Allows a releasing of the nervous system, typically inducing profound relaxation

  • Can be adapted for pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or general wellness

This gentle yet powerful modality is not only therapeutically effective, but also an invitation to connect with your body, slow down, and experience profound relaxation.

Your Session

During a session, you will remain fully supported and comfortable, either on a massage table or with a BodyCushion™ if needed. Sessions typically include light, rhythmic hand movements directly on the skin, without the use of any oil or lotion. I will work in a specific sequence to enhance the natural flow of lymph through your body. Many clients report deep relaxation, clarity, and a sense of revitalization both physically and emotionally.

Why Choose My Approach

With extensive training in CDT and manual lymphatic therapies, combined with a holistic, client-centered approach, I blend technical expertise with heart-centered, attentive care. Every session is an opportunity not just to support your lymphatic system, but to invite balance, calm, and restoration throughout your body, mind, and spirit.
