What is it? How can it help YOU?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. This specialized treatment helps detoxify the system, reduce swelling, and boost your immune response by clearing out congestion and improving circulation.
Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or just want to feel lighter and more energized, MLD can help reduce puffiness, ease muscle tension, and promote overall relaxation. It’s perfect for anyone looking to give their body a natural reset and enhance their wellness from the inside out.

Reservation and service time: variable depending on post-surgery scheduling The goal with this treatment is to move inflammatory fluid away from the surgical site so the entire body is an optimal healing environment. MLD has the potential to reduce pain, decreases swelling, and lowers the chance of post-surgical fibrosis. This manual lymphatic drainage technique will be tailored to your specific procedure and personalised to fit your body’s needs. The timing and during of your post-surgery treatment is dependent on your surgery type and location, your health post-surgery, and any complications. This is one of the reasons that we only offer this treatment in packages so that you are able to get the full benefit from these services. Below are areas that historically respond well to MLD.

Pre + Post Pregnancy MLD
Pregnancy – Manual Lymphatic Drainage - $150
Reservation time: 60 minutes, Service time: 45 minutes
The goal with this treatment is support a woman who is or is wanting to become pregnant. The American Pregnancy Association considers massage to be safe and beneficial for pregnant folks starting in their first trimester because caring and nurturing touch is always indicated. Lymphatic massage is helpful because it activates the body’s immune system as well as potentially reducing anxiety and increasing the body’s ability to rest. In this treatment we are especially cognizant of the “detox” effects of a lymphatic massage and follow a specific protocol before and after the session to ensure that they stay adequately hydrated. RECOMMENDATION: No more than one treatment every two weeks.

I am a neurodivergent Arkansas native, travel aficionado, and a maker of things (currently I’m in my quilting era, but check back in a couple weeks for my latest obsession). I have a soft spot for nature documentaries and my son; both have the capacity to surprise and delight.
