Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Treatment oils used are 100% vegan, cruelty free & paraben free. Ladies only.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialist style of massage specifically improving the internal health of your body. We aim to remove waste & toxins from your body, re-disperse excess fluid back into the bloodstream & provide protection from infection by building antibodies. This treatment is perfect for you if you hold water retention, have a low immune system & commonly catch colds, or have an active interest in the health of your body.
Lymph nodes act as filters throughout the body which provide protection for defence & are essential in removing waste. With a gentle & light massage technique, we aim to target these nodes to effectively reduce swelling, inflammation & promote healing. With a classic Ukiyo approach, this treatment blends relaxation with internal health benefits.

Ladies who have inflammation (such as acne, swelling & pain), need digestive support & want to improve their immune system.
Added benefits are also relaxation, & a calm state of mind.
-
Each treatment will include 75 minutes of treatment time entirely dependant on clients medical needs & personal goals. Either the full body can be treated or bespoke areas.
Please note this treatment is not suitable for a range of medical conditions & cannot be attended with active colds or infections. Lymphatic drainage massage helps to push & re-disperse lymph throughout the body so if you attend ill this would spread the illness further. A full list of contraindications can be found under the next question or on my booking page.

Please drink plenty of water & avoid heavy meals at least 1 hour before. It is also important to avoid caffeine & alcohol 24 hours before as this can hinder the lymphatic function.
-
Following aftercare is key in the longevity of the drainage results. Please stay well hydrated, the fluids in your body will still be moving post treatment. Gentle exercise is also encouraged, avoiding heavy fitness. Some clients may feel tired or dizzy post treatment which is a normal response in your body’s natural healing & detoxification process.
-
For general wellness, a monthly massage is recommended to help improve the health of your body.
For specific swelling & fluid retention, a weekly treatment over the course of 4-6 weeks is advised to maintain consistent drainage.
