Most are familiar with the body’s vessel system that carries blood to and from the tissues, but few are aware of the other equally vital system that removes cell wastes, proteins, excess fluid, viruses, and bacteria known as The Lymphatic System.  Lymphatic vessels collect fluid and waste products and ultimately filters and cleanses them.

​

Those who can benefit from our services include athletes, surgical & lymphedema patients, fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue sufferers, as well as those who simply want to refresh their body & appearance.

​

Surgical procedures involving lymph node removal, such as breast cancer surgery, can cause limbs to swell resulting in Lymphedema.  Manual lymphatic drainage, in addition to other services, can assist in reducing limb volume.  Please note, lymphatic drainage should be avoided if you have a skin infection, blood clots or an active disease. A care plan can be devised with your physician.

​

For those who have had procedures such as cosmetic surgery or following a sports injury, lymphatic vessels can become overwhelmed.  Our lymphatic massage helps eliminate waste products from the affected area resulting in reduced swelling & improved healing time. Lymphatic massage can also be used with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome because of its gentle nature. 

​

Lymphatic massage can benefit just about everyone!  If you’ve had cosmetic surgery, history of lymph node removal, injuries, feeling ill or lacking energy, you would benefit from lymphatic massage. By encouraging lymphatic flow & removing waste products, this gentle form of bodywork can help restore immune function, improve vitality, reduce pain, manage scar tissue formation, combat stress, improve post-operative healing time, increase circulation & minimize swelling.   

BeYOUtiful!
