WHO BOOKS IT
Gentle care for heavy, puffy days.
People book lymphatic drainage to help with general puffiness and water retention, to feel less heavy, and to support recovery, including after certain surgeries. If you're recovering from a procedure, get your surgeon's clearance first, then let us support your recovery from there.
Feel lighter
Support fluid movement when your body feels puffy or swollen.
Heaviness
Choose a session designed to feel light, calm, and unforced.
Recovery support
After surgeon clearance, add gentle care to your recovery plan.
Check first when swelling has a medical cause
Lymphatic drainage is supportive care, not a diagnosis or cure. Talk with your healthcare provider before booking if you have unexplained or worsening swelling, a blood clot or DVT, cellulitis or another infection, fever, heart disease, kidney failure, or a recent stroke. Post-procedure sessions require your surgeon's clearance.
COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZED

The pressure stays light and gentle the whole time. A lot of people are surprised by how calming it feels. Wear or bring comfortable clothing, and plan to drink plenty of water afterward.
