Modalities

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. 

When to choose Lymphatic Massage:

  • Post surgery - After cosmetic surgery (eg: liposuction, BBL, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, body sculpting) or other types of surgery (eg: hip replacement, knee replacement) to promote healing, reduce swelling, help the body eliminate residual anesthesia and reduce other post surgical side effects.

  • To enhance a cleanse and for general detoxifying 
  • Fibromyalgia sufferers -to relax the body and manage pain
  • Before cold and flu season

Typical results you can expect after MLD:

  • Increased lymph flow
  • Immune system boost (ward off sickness during cold and flu season)
  • Reduction of swelling and faster recovery from surgeries such as liposuction - three sessions recommended for optimal results (See below for series prices and discounts.)
  • Deep relaxation
  • Body detoxification (three 60-min sessions recommended during a 21-day Body Cleanse)

After your lymph massage, it's important to drink plenty of water

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.

Benefits of massage are cumulative. Therefore regularly scheduled massages can give you long term pain and stress relief, and help you manage life.

Chair Massage

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
