Gentle by Design

What Is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage uses light, intentional touch in a slow, rhythmic pattern. It is different from deep-tissue massage and is tailored to your comfort.

Some guests choose it because they want a particularly gentle bodywork experience or a sense of ease and spaciousness without heavy pressure.

Important: Lymphatic drainage is not a substitute for medical treatment. Guests with active infections, blood clots, heart or kidney conditions, cancer-related concerns, recent surgery, or other significant health conditions should consult their licensed healthcare provider before scheduling.

Before + After Care

Hydrate. Wear Comfort. Leave Room Afterward.

Please arrive hydrated and avoid eating a heavy meal immediately before your session. Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended.

Tell your practitioner about injuries, allergies, sensitivities, pregnancy, recent surgeries, medications, medical conditions, or areas you want avoided.

After bodywork, drink water, eat something nourishing, and notice how your body feels. Some guests feel energized; others feel sleepy, spacious, emotional, or deeply quiet.

Whenever possible, avoid scheduling stressful commitments immediately after your appointment.
