our specialty
Lymphatic Massage
Massage is a natural way to heal and recover from injuries and ailments. It reduces pain, speeding up the healing process and can also remove toxins from the body through the lymphatic system.
Lymphatic massage decreases swelling and remove toxins by increasing blood flow, helping the organs and cells to detoxify naturally.
Our massage techniques help the lymphatic system function more efficiently, allowing it to better cleanse the body. Feel refreshed, thanks to the improved lymphatic circulation.
Recover from surgery with MLD massage. Using specific strokes and light pressure, we help increase the flow of lymph in the body. These powerful but gentle strokes reroute the lymphatic fluid to detoxify the body of excess swelling. Lymphatic massage (MLD), helps reduce the tight heavy feeling of swelling after a tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift, or other cosmetic and orthopedic procedures.
Oncology massage is a customized massage, specifically designed to meet the needs of someone in, or with a history of cancer treatments. During treatment, the immune system recognizes the injured site and creates proteins to help immune cells attack cancer cells. Lympathic massage helps the lymphatic system eject toxic byproducts as waste.
Therapeutic Massage describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, ease and soften tight muscles, and reduce stress. Therapeutic massage helps minimize physical pain and alleviates the stress and anxiety associated with it. When you feel relaxed your emotional state will improve and life will seem a bit brighter!

Benefits of lymphatic health
Why Lymphatic Massage
The lymphatic system continually works beneath the entire surface of the skin. It is connected to every inch of our body, acting like a garbage collector, sweeping immune cells through the body to fight off pathogens and anything threatening to our well being. The lymphatic system is a first line of defense and helps the immune system operate efficiently.
The lymphatic system is also responsible for maintaining the body’s fluid balance, which helps keeps inflammation and other underlying factors in many diseases at bay. The lymphatic system cleanses and nourishes every cell and every system in our bodies, like a giant, one-way cleansing river. A properly functioning lymphatic system is essential for overall health.
Sometimes, the lymphatic system can become blocked. When this happens, the body accumulates heavy metals, too much fat and other toxic substances. Lymphatic massage can relieve the body’s pressure points, release tension, boost your immunity and improve circulation.
MLD is a technique developed by Emil Vodder, Phd, MT in the 1930s in the south of France. MLD, also known as lymphatic massage, is a gentle and careful touch to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid. MLD is a powerful way to activate the lymphatic system. Because there are few contraindications it can be used to treat many pathologies and ailments, such as:
- Post-surgical edema – cosmetic & orthopedic
