How I can help

Treatment options

1

Initial consultation

I like to have an initial phone consultation with all clients to establish their health concerns and treatment needs. This consult helps me to understand where you're at in your health journey. If necessary, I can then consult with your primary healthcare providers (with your permission) before beginning your treatment.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

The treatment involves very light, rhythmic stretching movements applied to specific areas of the body to encourage lymph flow. It is quite different from a massage; the pressure used in MLD is much lighter.

Specialised techniques are used on the skin to facilitate the movement of tissue fluid into the lymphatic system that lies under the skin and above the muscles. The treatment is adapted to the individual’s needs and condition.

Medical Lymph Taping

Medical Lymph Taping involves applying specialised elastic tape to the skin in specific patterns to support lymphatic flow. The tape gently lifts the skin, creating channels that help guide excess fluid toward functioning lymph vessels and nodes.
