Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
This gentle manual manipulation is notable for reducing inflammation/swelling, bruising and pain following accidents, injuries and surgical procedures. MLD is sometimes called lymphatic massage. Lymphatic work is also useful for autoimmune issues, sinus/allergies, and digestive problems.
First time post-surgical clients (cosmetic and non-cosmetic) are encouraged to book a 90 min session for optimal outcomes and education. Having a pre-surgical MLD session one week prior to your surgery is highly recommended to optimize your immune system and start our relationship for your post-surgical healing journey.
60 min session = $120 | 90 min session = $155

Scar Tissue Work
Scar tissue results from surgeries, accidents, and burns. This thick, sometimes raised, fibrous tissue is not as pliable as normal healthy skin and is weaker in terms of tensile strength. A scar that we can see is often accompanied by scar tissue underneath the skin that we can’t see but can feel especially as it affects range of motion. Scars received years ago (even in childhood) can have a limiting effect on mobility and optimal muscle usage.
I use a combination of modalities to positively affect the look and feel and most importantly the mobility/functionality of the affected and adjacent areas. Scar work can be included within any session.
Head, Jaw, and Neck Work
Tension or chronic headaches can be a result of too much device time, dry eyes, smiling too much for long Zoom meetings, and non-optimal work, sleep and driving posture. Many clients tell me they didn’t know their face or even scalp could hold so much tension….well, it does for many of us.
I had TMD/TMJ issues most of my life and was a Project Manager in the corporate world for 20+ years. So, I know how important and necessary head, face, jaw and neck work is in just about every therapy session. I also perform intraoral work (wearing gloves) when necessary to reduce jaw pain. This work can be included within any session.
