Frequently asked questions

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic therapy that supports your body’s natural ability to cleanse, circulate, and restore balance. Using slow, intentional touch, MLD encourages the movement of lymph fluid, a vital fluid that removes waste, nourishes tissues, and supports immune resilience.

Clients often experience: • Reduced puffiness or fluid retention • A brighter, more refreshed appearance • Relief from sinus congestion • Softer, calmer skin • Support for detoxification • Deep relaxation and stress release

Yes. Because the technique uses feather-light pressure and supports the skin’s natural healing processes, it’s excellent for sensitive, reactive, or inflamed skin.

Sessions are focused on the neck and face. With the emphasis on neck, jawline, face and clavicle areas.

Before your session, we’ll begin with a brief consultation to review your health history, needs, and goals, followed by gentle deep-breathing exercises to help you settle in. During the session, a soft, rhythmic, feather-light touch guides lymphatic flow along the body’s natural drainage pathways. You’ll be comfortably supported as slow, wave-like movements encourage fluid movement and nervous system relaxation. Many clients experience a deep sense of calm, leaving the session feeling lighter, relaxed, and rejuvenated. Visible results may include reduced puffiness, smoother contours, and a refreshed complexion. Dressing for your appointment: Wear a wide-neck, V-neck, or tank-top style for easy access to the collarbone and neck area. Please complete an intake form before your first session. Contraindications: For your safety and wellbeing, MLD should be avoided during: • Active infections or fever • Acute allergic reactions • Cancer • Congestive heart failure • Deep Vein thrombosis • Lymph nodes removed above collar bone • Uncontrolled high blood pressure

This varies depending on a client's needs or goals. Some clients choose a single session to relieve congestion or inflammation as well as stress relief. Others choose a series for ongoing support and or to reach an individualized goal.
