​​

What should I wear?

You may undress to your comfort level. For best results, direct skin contact is ideal.
If you prefer to wear clothing, lightweight underwear is recommended. If wearing a top, choose a loose-fitting tank to avoid restricting lymphatic flow along the sides of the body.

​

How should I prepare?

• Arrive well-hydrated

• Avoid heavy meals immediately before your session

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing

• If you are coming for post-surgical care, please follow any guidelines provided by your surgeon​

​

What does the technique feel like?

MLD is very gentle, slow, and rhythmic.
It is not painful and often feels deeply calming, with many clients experiencing a meditative or relaxing effect during the session.

​

What should I expect after a session?

After your session, you may notice:

• Increased urination as your body processes fluid

• Reduced swelling or a feeling of lightness

• Improved mobility or decreased pressure in affected areas

• A sense of relaxation or fatigue

Some clients also experience mild detox-like symptoms (such as slight fatigue or thirst), which typically pass quickly. Staying hydrated will support the process.

 

How frequently should I come in?

This depends on your goals:

• General wellness / maintenance: every 3–4 weeks

• Swelling or inflammation: 1–2 times per week initially

• Post-surgical recovery: often multiple sessions per week early on, then tapering as healing progresses

• Lymphedema or chronic conditions: frequency may be ongoing and tailored to your individual needs

MLD is a cumulative therapy, meaning results build over time with consistency and proper support between sessions.​

​

What should I do after my session to enhance and maintain results?

To support your lymphatic system and extend the benefits of your session:

• Hydrate well to help your body process and move fluid

• Gentle movement (such as walking or swimming) encourages lymph flow

• Avoid alcohol for several hours post-session

• Wear loose clothing to prevent restriction

• Follow any post-surgical care instructions, if applicable

• Consider compression garments if recommended for your condition
