MASSAGE THERAPY TREATMENT
The practice of Massage Therapy is defined as the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissue and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain.
I use a variety of techniques that is customized for all individuals needs including children and pre- and post-natal care. This can include deep tissue, relaxation, cupping massage, essential oils and instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM).
PRENATAL MASSAGE is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the health and wellbeing of the pregnant woman as her body goes through the dramatic changes during each trimester. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation, decreases swelling in the extremities, reduces stress and anxiety, and relieves the aches and pains that accompany changes that occur during pregnancy.
During your treatment, can be treated in a variety of positions including supine (face up), prone (face down) and side lying. You will have the option to lay face down using my speciality pregnancy pillow, the “preggo pillow”, that comfortably forms around the belly and reduces all risks!

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage
Your lymphatic system plays a vital role in your overall health, acting as your body's natural detoxification network. The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid while supporting immune function and overall cellular health. When your lymphatic system is sluggish or overwhelmed, it can lead to a variety of health challenges such as inflammation, fatigue, and fluid retention. This is where Brazilian Lymphatic Draining Treatments come in.
What is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Brazilian Lymphatic Draining is a specialized massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the natural flow of lymphatic fluid. This non-invasive treatment combines gentle, rhythmic movements and specific pressure techniques to encourage lymph flow, reduce swelling, and help the body eliminate toxins. Unlike traditional massage, the focus is on guiding the lymph fluid toward the lymph nodes and improving the body’s ability to detoxify and heal itself.
The treatment is tailored to your body’s unique needs, ensuring that every session is both therapeutic and deeply relaxing. Sessions are an hour long and leave you feeling lighter, less bloated, and more balanced.
Benefits of Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage
This transformative treatment provides a range of physical and emotional benefits, including:
• Reduced Swelling and Fluid Retention: Especially beneficial for individuals experiencing edema or bloating.
Improved Immune Function: By supporting the lymphatic system, this treatment helps boost the body’s natural defences.
• Detoxification: Encourages the removal of waste products and toxins from the body, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized.
• Enhanced Skin Appearance: Promotes better circulation and reduces puffiness, leaving your skin looking more radiant and toned.
• Stress Relief: The gentle, rhythmic nature of the treatment soothes the nervous system, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
Who Can Benefit from Brazilian Lymphatic Draining?
Brazilian Lymphatic Draining is particularly beneficial for:
• Postpartum Recovery: Helps reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and support the body’s natural healing process after childbirth.
Endometriosis and PCOS: Alleviates bloating, inflammation, and discomfort associated with hormonal imbalances.
• Digestive Issues (GI Disorders): Supports better digestion by reducing inflammation and encouraging optimal organ function.
• Post-Surgical Recovery: Promotes healing, reduces swelling, and minimizes scar tissue formation (please consult your healthcare provider). I also will not treat until all the stitches are healed post. C-Section.
• Chronic Conditions: Ideal for those managing autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Wellness Maintenance: Anyone looking to support their immune system, reduce stress, and optimize their body’s natural detoxification process.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Treatment is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. During the one-hour treatment, I will use light, rhythmic strokes combined with precise pressure techniques to stimulate your lymphatic system. The session will target specific areas to encourage the movement of lymph fluid and reduce congestion. We will be in multiple positions in this treatment: face up, on both of your sides and face down.
Expect to feel lighter, less bloated, and deeply relaxed after your session. You may also notice improved digestion, clearer skin, and enhanced energy levels in the days following your treatment.
