Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (also called MLD or Lymphatic Massage) is an advanced massage technique that assists the lymphatic system in functioning at its best. The bodywork itself is very gentle, rhythmic, and calming. During each session, you will undress to your comfort level, similar to how you would for a therapeutic massage therapy session. We may work on your full body or we may work on specific areas, depending on your specific needs and goals.
Our Lymphatic System...
- Protects us from illness and disease as part of the immune system
- Moves fluid through the body and cleanses the fluid of waste
- Aids the body with recovery from injury, surgery, or your regular work out
- Generally regulates and balances your body
MLD is beneficial for...
- Pre- and post-surgery recovery

Flat Fee Rate
No additional taxes or fees, and no tipping necessary.
If this is your first MLD session with me, please select “First Session” when scheduling. Your first session gives us time to chat about your health concerns, the lymphatic system and MLD as a technique, plenty of time on the table, and training on self-MLD massage to do at home. Return sessions will have shorter pre- and post-session conversations with most of the time for hands-on work on the table.
MLD is a subtle technique and often takes several sessions and/or routine sessions to feel the benefits. Packages are designed with this in mind. Please be prepared to schedule all package sessions at the time of purchase. Packages cannot be purchased or scheduled online – text, email, or chat with me at your next session to determine if a MLD package is right for you.
