About the session

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is nothing like a deep-tissue massage. The touch is light and slow, moving the skin in gentle, repeating strokes along the body's lymph pathways.

Alecia is a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, trained in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Complete Decongestive Therapy through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies. She works with clients experiencing lymphedema, swelling and post-surgical recovery, as well as anyone looking for lymphatic support.

Some sessions begin and end with a simple tape measurement of the area being worked, so you have a record to compare.

What to expect

  1. Gentle, rhythmic, repetitive strokes. Most people find it deeply calming.
  2. Clothing adjusted or draped so the area being worked can be reached.
  3. Water afterwards, and an easy rest of the day if you can.
  4. If you are managing a medical condition, tell us when you book so we can plan the session with you.
