Personalized Care
Gentle Support for Swelling, Recovery and Whole-Body Comfort

Before You Book
Who Lymphatic Drainage Massage Is For and How to Prepare
Lymphatic drainage massage is often chosen by people who feel puffy or heavy after long days of sitting, standing or travel, by people recovering from surgery once their surgeon has cleared them, and by anyone who wants a very gentle session. The pressure is light, slow and rhythmic, so it feels very different from deep tissue work.
A lymphatic drainage massage session is $180. Drink water as usual before your visit, and plan an easy walk afterward if you can. Please talk to your doctor first if your swelling is sudden, one-sided or painful, or if you have heart, kidney or liver disease, an active infection or current cancer treatment.
