Achieve Optimal Wellness with lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic Drainage for Overall Wellness
Lymphatic Drainage for Overall Wellness
Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic bodywork technique designed to support the body’s natural detoxification and immune systems.
This modality works by encouraging the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body, helping to reduce stagnation, swelling, and inflammation while promoting deep relaxation and balance.
Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic drainage uses light, intentional pressure to stimulate lymph flow just beneath the skin.
This makes it both effective and nurturing—supporting whole-body wellness without stressing the nervous system.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage may support:
- Reduced swelling and fluid retention
- Improved immune function
- Relief from chronic inflammation and pain
- Improved circulation and tissue health
- Support during times of stress, fatigue, or burnout
- Faster recovery after illness, surgery, or injury (with medical clearance)
- Overall relaxation and nervous system regulation
Many clients also report improved energy levels, better sleep, and a general sense of lightness and ease after sessions.
Who Can Benefit from Lymphatic Drainage
This service is beneficial for individuals seeking:
- Overall wellness and preventative care
- Support with chronic illness or autoimmune conditions
- Relief from inflammation, edema, or bloating
- Gentle bodywork during times of stress or exhaustion
- Post-surgical or post-procedure support (with physician approval)
- A calming, non-invasive therapeutic experience
Sessions are customized to meet each client’s unique needs and comfort level.

Lymphatic Drainage for Overall Wellness offers a restorative, supportive approach to caring for your body—helping you feel lighter, more balanced, and deeply supported from the inside out.
Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
Post-surgical lymphatic drainage is a specialized, gentle technique designed to support the body’s natural healing process following cosmetic and medical procedures. This modality encourages the movement of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, inflammation, and fluid buildup while supporting comfort and recovery.
After surgery, the lymphatic system can become overwhelmed due to trauma to the tissues. Lymphatic drainage helps the body clear excess fluid and metabolic waste more efficiently, promoting a smoother, more comfortable healing experience.
Common Procedures That Benefit from Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is commonly recommended following procedures including, but not limited to:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Lipo 360
- Breast augmentation (implants)
- Breast lift
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
- Other cosmetic or reconstructive surgeries
All sessions are performed with care, respecting surgical sites, incisions, and the client’s stage of healing.
Benefits of Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
Post-surgical lymphatic drainage may help:
- Reduce swelling and fluid retention
- Minimize discomfort and pressure
- Support healthy scar tissue formation
- Improve circulation and tissue health
- Reduce the risk of fibrosis and hardening
- Encourage a smoother, more even healing process
- Promote relaxation and nervous system regulation during recovery
When to Start
Most clients begin lymphatic drainage within the first few days to weeks after surgery, depending on their procedure and their surgeon’s recommendations. A series of sessions is often suggested for optimal results, especially during the early stages of recovery.
Medical clearance from your surgeon is required prior to booking post-surgical lymphatic drainage.
Who Should Not Receive Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
This service is not appropriate for individuals with:
- Active infection or fever
- Open or unhealed wounds beyond surgical expectations
- Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis
- Congestive heart failure
- Kidney failure
- Untreated cancer or cancer currently undergoing active treatment (unless cleared by a physician)
If you have concerns or complex medical conditions, please consult your healthcare provider before scheduling.
A Gentle, Supportive Approach to Healing
Post-surgical lymphatic drainage sessions are gentle, intentional, and tailored to your body’s needs and stage of recovery. The focus is on comfort, safety, and supporting the body’s innate healing abilities—never forcing or manipulating tissue.
This service is intended to complement, not replace, medical care and post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.

Learn about the lymphatic system
Lymphatic system
Similar to the way your blood circulatory system delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells of the body, the lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels that branch through all parts of the body to circulate important bodily fluid and defend against infection.
When functioning well, the lymphatic system helps keep the body's needs in balance, but when things go wrong, disorders and cancer can result. Take a closer look at the important role your lymphatic system plays in keeping your body balanced and healthy.
Then, incorporate our healthy lifestyle tips to encourage proper function for many years to come!
Parts of the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs made up of lymph vessels, lymph nodes and lymph that drain lymph fluid (a fluid containing white blood cells, water, proteins, salts and lipids) from all over the body.
- There are lymph nodes in your body that you can likely feel under your arm (in your armpit), in each groin (at the top of your legs) and in your neck.
- There are also lymph nodes you may not be able to feel, such as those found in your abdomen, pelvis and chest.
- Other lymphatic body organs include your spleen, thymus gland, tonsils and adenoids.
How the Lymphatic System Works
You can think of the lymphatic system as the body’s drainage system, working around-the-clock to clean up and properly dispose of waste left behind by other body systems. A healthy lymphatic system also contributes to many other major bodily functions, including:
Drains fluid back into the bloodstream.
One of the lymphatic system’s primary jobs is to collect excess fluid (particularly lymph fluid) surrounding the body’s tissues and organs and return it to the bloodstream. If the lymphatic system didn’t drain excess fluid from the tissues, the lymph fluid would build up in the body and cause swelling.
Filters lymph.
As lymph passes through the lymph nodes, the white blood cells attack any bacteria or viruses found in the lymph. If cancer cells break away from a tumor, they can attach to the nearby lymph nodes. This is the reason doctors will check the lymph nodes first when determining how far cancer has spread.
Filters the blood.
The spleen filters blood, removing old red blood cells and replacing them with new red blood cells that are made in the bone marrow.
Removes impurities from the body.
The lymphatic system also helps to remove toxins and other impurities from the body, such as carbon dioxide, sodium and other byproducts of cellular feeding on oxygen, minerals and nutrients. The system helps to remove these impurities and dispose of them through perspiration, bowel movements, urine and your breath.
Fights infection.
The lymphatic system helps defend the body against illness-causing germs, bacteria, viruses and fungi. The system builds immunity by making special white blood cells (called lymphocytes) that produce antibodies which are responsible for immune responses that defend the body against disease.
Things That Can Go Wrong
When the lymphatic system is not functioning properly, it can put your body at risk for certain diseases that affect the lymph nodes, spleen or other parts of the lymphoid tissue, such as:
- Lymphedema is a chronic swelling in one arm or leg caused by too much lymph fluid. Many people develop this disorder following cancer therapy.
- Lymphadenopathy is a condition where the lymph nodes become swollen or enlarged.
- Lymphoma is cancer that starts in the lymph nodes when lymphocytes change and multiply at an out-of-control rate.
- Splenomegaly is a disease (usually caused by a viral infection) that causes the spleen to swell several times its normal size.
Keep Your Lymphatic System Healthy
Maintaining a healthy lymphatic system is important to prevent illness and keep other important body systems functioning. Encourage proper function of your lymphatic system by incorporating these healthy lifestyle tips:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat a healthy diet rich in alkaline foods and vegetables that provide a full range of vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
- Include healthy fats in your diet.
- Exercise daily, including both aerobic and anaerobic physical activity.
- Avoid pollutants, toxic substances and unhealthy environments.
- Learn to manage stress through techniques such as yoga, meditation and exercise to promote wellness.
Your lymphatic system is constantly working to keep your body balanced. Maintaining its health is important not only for its own role but the role it plays in many other body systems.
