Manual lymphatic drainage
Gentle support for flow, lightness and release.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to support healthy lymph flow and encourage the body’s natural fluid movement. Sessions use light pressure and slow, intentional movements to help ease puffiness, heaviness and tension while supporting deep relaxation.
This work is ideal when your body feels swollen, sluggish, overstimulated or in need of a softer, restorative approach.
