About the treatment
What is lymphatic drainage?
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, hands-on massage. Your therapist uses light, slow, rhythmic strokes that follow the lymphatic system, just under the skin.
It feels very different from a Swedish or deep tissue massage. The pressure is soft and the rhythm is steady, so many clients find it easy to switch off.
Choose a 45-minute session focused on one area, or a 60-minute full-body session with relaxing Swedish techniques.
For a longer session, Brazilian MLD Sculpt uses the full Brazilian method, from head to toe, over 90 minutes.
Before your first session, we talk through your health and what you would like from it, so we can suggest the right option for you.

Lymphatic drainage questions
How does it feel?
Calm and soothing. The pressure is light, and the strokes are slow and rhythmic. Many clients find it so relaxing that they drift off.
How is it different from a normal massage?
A Swedish or deep tissue massage works into the muscles with firmer pressure. Lymphatic drainage uses much lighter, rhythmic strokes just under the skin, so it feels much gentler.
What should I do after my session?
Drink some water and take things slowly for the rest of the day. Many clients feel relaxed and a little sleepy, so a calm evening is ideal.
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is different. We will give you honest advice at your consultation. If you would like to come regularly, ask us about a course of six.
