Ideal for eye and neck strain caused by working in front of computers. This treatment is seated and can be carried out whilst fully clothed. AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

MLD is a gentle, non-invasive, manual technique that has a powerful effect on the body and body systems. Activating the lymphatic system’s cleansing process will indirectly affect organs such as the liver, kidneys and lungs, stimulating a detoxification process and boosting energy. The only product prescribed after a lymphatic drainage therapy session is water. I perform MLD treatments based on lymphodynamic and lymphostatic oedema. The style and skills originate from the Emil Vodder School and the Dr Judith Casley-Smith School. This combination of methods has proven to be highly effective and beneficial. If you suffer from swelling, pain or discomfort or muscle fatigue then MLD may help improve your symptoms. If your in need of a detox then MLD is the perfect massage for you.
