Lymphatic drainage massage moves what your body can’t.

Your lymphatic system moves extra fluid out of your tissues, but it has no pump of its own. It relies on movement, breathing, and your muscles to keep that fluid flowing. When it slows down, fluid settles and you feel puffy, heavy, or swollen.

Lymphatic drainage uses light, slow strokes to guide that fluid toward your lymph nodes so your body can clear it. Sara's wellness clients come in for everyday puffiness and water retention, postpartum and C-section swelling, autoimmune swelling, lymphedema, and lipedema.

No. Your liver and kidneys handle detox. Lymphatic drainage does something simpler and still useful.

It helps your body move fluid it's holding onto, which eases swelling, puffiness, and that heavy, tight feeling.

It can help with the puffy, tight kind of bloating that comes from fluid your body is holding, like the swelling that shows up with your cycle, after travel, or after a salty meal. Bloating from digestion, like gas, is a different thing.

If swelling is new, sudden, or only on one side, see your doctor first.

The pressure is much lighter. A regular or deep tissue massage works into your muscles. Lymphatic drainage works on the vessels right under your skin, with slow, rhythmic strokes that follow your lymph pathways toward your nodes.

It feels gentle and calming, and many people drift off during the session.

Most people feel lighter and less puffy the same day. Some clients notice their rings and clothes fitting looser for a few days after.

The effect builds with regular sessions, which is why most wellness clients come in once a month.

Once a month works for most wellness clients. Some come in twice a month with the Gold Plus membership.

Sara will help you find the rhythm that fits your body at your first visit.

Many clients do. Once your post-op plan is done, a monthly wellness lymphatic session helps keep any lingering swelling moving and keeps you feeling light as your body settles into its new shape.

The membership makes those monthly sessions easy to keep on your calendar.

A 60-minute wellness lymphatic session is $120, and an 80-minute session is $140. You can add 30 minutes of red light for $30 if the recovery room is open.

If you plan to come in every month, the membership is the easier way to book.

There are two monthly memberships. Gold is $165 a month and includes one 80-minute lymphatic or massage session with Sara, then PEMF and red light right after. Gold Plus is $319 a month and includes two.

Both are month to month.

Yes. Sara offers facial lymphatic drainage, using the same light, slow strokes along your neck, jaw, and face to ease puffiness.

Ask about it when you book, or book a free phone consult if you're not sure which session to choose.

Yes. Sara has lymphedema training and is finishing her certification. Lymphatic drainage helps manage the swelling and heaviness that come with lymphedema and lipedema by moving fluid your body can't clear on its own.

Yes. Sara offers prenatal and postpartum lymphatic drainage and massage. Lymphatic work can ease the swelling in your legs, ankles, and feet that often comes with pregnancy, and the swelling that lingers after birth.

Check with your OB or midwife before booking during pregnancy. After a C-section, wait until your OB clears you.

Some people feel relaxed and sleepy after a session, and some feel thirsty or need the bathroom more than usual as their body clears the fluid that was moved.

Drink plenty of water before and after, and give yourself an easy rest of the day if you can. If you feel unwell for more than a day, check in with your doctor.

Check with your doctor before booking if you have congestive heart failure, a blood clot, kidney failure, an active infection or fever, or are in active cancer treatment.
