  • A manual technique that supports the body’s lymphatic system — the network responsible for fluid balance, immune function, and natural detoxification. Gentle, rhythmic movements help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote whole-body restoration.

  • A clinically developed, light-pressure technique designed to stimulate lymph flow, decrease inflammation, and support recovery. Often used for post-operative healing, digestive sluggishness, and chronic puffiness.

  • A more sculpting-focused style of lymphatic drainage using firm, precise techniques to contour, reduce bloating, and enhance visible fluid reduction — while still supporting overall lymphatic function.

  • Hands-on work that gently releases tension in the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs — improving mobility, circulation, and full-body ease.

  • Guided breathing techniques that regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, enhance lymphatic movement, and create deeper physical release during treatment.

  • A technique rooted in Traditional East Asian Medicine that applies pressure to specific points to regulate energy flow, reduce tension, and support the body’s natural self-repair mechanisms.

  • Swelling caused by excess fluid. Lymphatic therapy reduces edema by improving fluid movement and drainage.

  • Guided breathing techniques that regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, enhance lymphatic movement, and create deeper physical release during treatment.

  • A specialized approach to reduce swelling, fibrosis, and discomfort after cosmetic or medical procedures — supporting safer, smoother, and more comfortable healing.

  • Hands-on contouring techniques that encourage lymphatic drainage, smooth tissue, reduce fluid retention, and enhance natural shape without machines or aggressive methods.

  • The vagus nerve is the primary pathway of the parasympathetic nervous system, regulating digestion, inflammation, heart rate and emotional regulation.


    A “vagal reset” uses breathwork, gentle touch and specific reflex zones to activate this system, promoting calm, digestion and lymphatic flow.

  • The process of calming and stabilizing the nervous system through physical touch, breath and gentle movement. Somatic regulation enhances recovery, reduces stress and supports healthy lymphatic function.

  • The body’s ability to sense internal states (breath, heartbeat, tension). Treatments that improve interoception deepen nervous-system regulation and support lymphatic flow.

  • The systems responsible for processing and eliminating waste — including the lymphatic system, liver, kidneys, skin and breath. Our treatments support these pathways naturally, without supplements or devices.

  • The body’s response to stress, injury or irritation. Chronic inflammation contributes to puffiness, discomfort and slower healing. Lymphatic drainage supports inflammation regulation.

  • Build-up of fluid, stagnation or fascial tension that reduces circulation and causes puffiness or discomfort.

  • Excess fluid accumulation caused by hormonal changes, stress, heat, surgery or poor circulation. Lymphatic therapy improves fluid regulation and supports natural elimination.

  • Fibrous tissue that forms after injury or surgery. Fascia release and gentle lymphatic therapy can help improve mobility and reduce restriction.

  • The phase after surgery where the body is healing and clearing swelling, scar tissue and inflammation. Gentle lymphatic therapy is clinically recognized as beneficial for post-operative recovery.

  • A whole-body approach that considers physical, emotional and systemic factors — not supplements or detox fads.
