Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to remove excess fluid and toxins from the body. Using light, rhythmic movements, it encourages lymph flow through natural channels toward lymph nodes, where waste is filtered and eliminated. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to detox, de-bloat, and support immune health.

This treatment is great for anyone experiencing bloating, fatigue, fluid retention, sinus congestion, or post-procedure swelling. It’s also helpful for those with sluggish metabolism, inflammatory conditions, or who simply want to support their detox pathways. Lymphatic drainage is safe for most people and easily tailored to your individual needs.

That depends on your goals. One session may offer noticeable relief, but for best results—especially after surgery or for chronic inflammation—we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced weekly. Maintenance sessions can be done monthly or as needed for long-term wellness.

Not at all. The technique uses slow, gentle strokes—much lighter than a traditional massage. Clients often describe it as soothing and deeply relaxing. It does not involve deep tissue pressure and is designed to work with the body’s natural rhythm rather than force anything.

Many clients notice a difference after the first session—such as reduced bloating, less puffiness, and a lighter feeling in the body. For post-op clients, swelling reduction may be visible within hours. Continued treatments build on these results and support long-term tissue healing and detoxification.
