​ A mix of Swedish massage and functional therapy, with focus on areas of pain/discomfort.

Active, passive, and assisted stretches are also included to help improve mobility.  The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, and greater flexibility. *Note: I do not do full body deep tissue, only localized. Deep tissue will be used in problem areas, and Swedish techniques on the rest of the body*  ​

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, MLD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.

The facial massage uses Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy to gently and rhythmically drain lymphatic fluid from the face and into the cervical and axillary lymph nodes. The massage starts in the upper chest and moves up the neck and into the face using downward strokes. All movements on the face are outward and down to move lymphatic fluid into those main nodes. This massage is relaxing and helps reduce inflammation and decrease sinus congestion. You have the option of a gua sha facial massage or a facial cupping massage. A little jojoba oil is applied to prevent friction.
