About the treatment

A gentle, rhythmic hands-on treatment.

Private, appointment-only studio in Lake Macquarie. Every treatment personally delivered by me.

A beautifully gentle and deeply relaxing treatment designed to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid and support your body’s natural fluid balance and waste-clearance processes.

Many clients choose Manual Lymphatic Drainage when experiencing fluid retention, puffiness, heaviness, bloating or fatigue, while others simply come for the incredible sense of calm and relaxation the treatment provides.

For women, MLD may also provide gentle support during times of pelvic heaviness or congestion, including around the menstrual cycle. During perimenopause, when hormonal changes can sometimes be accompanied by bloating, fluid retention, feelings of puffiness and changes in sleep or stress levels, MLD can offer a deeply nurturing way to support relaxation, fluid movement and overall wellbeing.

This is not a deep-tissue massage. Minimal oil is used, there are no wooden tools, and your treatment is performed entirely by hand using slow, rhythmic skin-stretching movements to encourage lymphatic flow while allowing the nervous system to settle into a deeply relaxed state.

Your treatment may include the face, neck and décolletage, chest, arms, abdomen, back, legs, ankles and feet, depending on your individual needs and treatment time.

All Manual Lymphatic Drainage experiences also include the option of my medical-grade red and near-infrared light therapy mat at no additional cost.

Understanding lymphatic flow

How the lymphatic system moves fluid.

Fluid constantly moves between the bloodstream and the tissues around our cells. The lymphatic system helps collect excess fluid and other substances from the tissues and return them to circulation.

Unlike blood circulation, the lymphatic system does not have a central pump like the heart. Movement, breathing and muscle activity all help support lymph flow.

Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle, rhythmic skin-stretching techniques to encourage this natural movement and create a calm, relaxing treatment experience.
