MLD
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
I am certified to perform manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) on all clients.
Why do I need MLD?
Most clients are looking for improved health and relief from symptoms such as achiness or heavy feeling body. Others are looking for greater health benefits from insomnia to recurring skin or system imbalances creating challenges to their daily life activities.
To prepare for your MLD session here are a few tips to achieve the best results:
Drink lots of water before and after the session (this will help with flushing toxins from the system)
Avoid eating one hour prior to your session. In general reduce salty foods, sugar, caffeine & alcohol as your session approaches.
