Labor Day appointments are now available!

This is a rare opportunity for a long weekend/holiday session. A massage session is the perfect way to end the summer and transition into fall. This is a great opportunity to try a Lymphatic or a Buccal/Intraoral add on session while space is still available.

Can you believe its September?

September always feels like a bit of a reset and this one feels especially meaningful.

This month marks 18 years of living in Seattle, 17 years of Max being at Columbia Distributing, 7 years of memberships, and somehow... Emma is turning 10! We had a great Summer, Emma even got to perform with the Seahawks Dancers (midfield, right on the eye of the seahawk)!! The kids start 2nd and 4th grade this week and I am ready to get into the fall groove. There is no better place to be than on a warm and cozy massage table this time of year! Bring on all things Fall!

Exciting announcements:

Lease Renewed Through 2027
My lease has officially been renewed through 2027, which means I'll be continuing to call Ballard home for at least another couple of years.
I'm incredibly grateful for the community that has made this little studio what it is. Your support, referrals, loyalty and trust over the years are the reason I get to keep doing what love.

September Gift Certificate Exchange
Have unused session credits sitting in your account? This month, you can exchange eligible unused credits for Physical Gift Certificates that will be valid through December 31, 2027. its a great way to turn a credit into a gift for someone else. If you'd like to participate, just reach out and I'll take care of the details with you.

Holiday Neck Wrap Preorder
Yes, I know its September... but the holidays are right around the corner. I'm opening up holiday neck wrap preorder for September only. As many of you have requested to purchase one of your own, I will be placing a bulk order in October. These make great gifts, alone or combined with a gift certificate. You can submit a pre-order request here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdV8qHhyo4yNJXl8MsPUAGg9jBlckY_BnIdYIZ-p5jvfYlLMA/viewform?usp=publish-editor) . Each wrap and cover is $55 and will be available for pick up in office.

NEW OFFERING: Special Performance & Athletic Care Events
I'm so excited to announce my newest offering: Special Performance & Athletic Care Events aka SPACE. You can now request on location massage and lymphatic care for teams & athletes, bridal parties & weddings, performances & productions, corporate & private events, & special gatherings. Whether it's preparation for a big performance, recovery after competition, getting ready for the big day, or simply creating an elevated experience for your guests- SPACE makes it possible to bring trustworthy personalized massage and lymphatic care whereever you are. You can submit an inquiry for your event here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIOsmW8ee-U5ii0s9ELnHXfcTE_tKVRklB0zE7XZY9qfAExw/viewform?usp=header) .

Memberships + Packages Are Available
If you know you want to make massage and bodywork a regular part of your routine, this is a great time to lock in your plan for the final quarter of the year. Memberships are available here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTj8VQ0QKOzkBwBTfa3uY0bxVGQHLwdUQ7SL_SIZ6FEz9WxQ/viewform?usp=header) and packages are available here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUzeUp0gyuly9-qZpT967-ZHdpyJ_Y5bFHAN17aubjPjmS3A/viewform?usp=header) and I'm always happy to help you figure out which option makes the most sense for your goals. Consistency really does make a difference and October, November and December tend to disappear fast.

Lymphatic Drainage / Body Sculpting
Fall into your flow. Lymphatic massage can be a beautiful addition to your wellness routine supporting comfortable movement, relaxation, circulation of lymph fluid, and temporary relief from feelings of puffiness or heaviness. This is a great time of year to add a session to your routine.

Have you checked your insurance benefits?
You can request an itemized invoice for your massage appointments if you'd like to submit them to your insurance for reimbursement. At this point in the year, many people have already met some- or all- of their deductible. It may be worth checking your benefits to see whether your massage therapy is eligible for reimbursement. If you'd like an itemized invoice, just let me know.

More Fall Appointments By Request
I'm opening up some additional afternoon availability on Mondays and Wednesdays this fall by request. If my regular schedule hasn't had a time that works for you, reach out and let me know what you are looking for. I'll do my best to find something that works.

Plan Ahead
The final quarter of the year is always busy for everyone. Between holidays, travel, school schedules, family commitments and everything else that seems to pile up between October and December, appointments can fill quickly. Now is the time to plan your massages through the end of the year and get them on the schedule. Whether you need recovery, maintenance, lymphatic work, stress relief, or a simple hour (or two!) where nobody needs anything from you...

How can I help you finish out 2026 feeling your best?

Thank you for being a part of MDLMP.

25 years of massage
18 years in Seattle

I'm now certified in BRAZILIAN BEAUTY FORMULA

by Josie Rushing

Brazilian Beauty Formula is a specialized version of Lymphatic Drainage massage designed by Josie Rushing. This 2 hour session includes the face and body. It incorporates a specific sequence of movements that activate lymph nodes, pressure points, and neurolymphatic massage points. Bound tissue is released and space is created for better fluid movement. Excess fluid is then flushed to the lymph nodes to aid in detoxification and stimulate lymph drainage. Sculpting massage strokes follow to provide more structural definition.

Lymphatic Drainage Benefits:

Accelerates natual detoxification
Rejuvenates cellular function
Decreases excess fluid retention
Relieves stress
Balances the nervous system
Beneftis cell oxygenation
Contours the body

Lymphatic Drainage Interesting Facts:

The lymphatic system moves about 3 liters of fluid every day. When it slows, that fluid stays in your tissues- showing up as blowing, puffiness, and stubborn weight that isn't fat.

You can gain 5-10 lbs of water retention from poor lymph flow alone. It's fluid stagnation, not fat!

The lymph system has no pump like the heart. It depends on movement, breathing, hydration and manual stimulation. Sitting all day literally slows detox.

After surgery, lymph flow can drop up to 40-60% in the treated area, which is why swelling, fibrosis and uneven healing can happen without proper care.

Chronic stress tightens fascia and lymph vessels. High cortisol doesn't just affect mood- it slows detox and increases fluid retention.

Poor sleep reduces lymphatic drainage from the brain. People who sleep less than 6 hours often wake up with facial swelling and brain fog.

Dehydration thickens lymph fluid. Even mild dehydration makes the lymphatic system work harder and increases bloating.

Hormonal changes during PMS and menopause increase lymphatic congestion, which is why many women feel heavier or more swollen during those times.

The lymphatic system helps absorb dietary fats. When its sluggish, fat metabolism and digestion can feel slower.

Thigh bras, waist trainers, or restrictive clothing cna compress lymph vessels and worsen swelling in the chest abdomen and hips.

Scar tissue blocks lymph pathways. C-sections, liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast surgeries often require structured lymphatic care to prevent fibrosis.

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. When lymph flow slows, you may experience more infections, acne flare-ups, or slow healing.

Gentle jumping on a trampoline for just 5 minutes cn increase lymph circulation more than walking.

Deep belly breathing is one of the strongest lymphatic pumps- because the diaphragm acts like a natural drain.

Many people feel calmer after lymphatic sessions because parasympathetic activation reduces cortisol levels.

Visable sculpting after a session happens because trapped fluid is moved out of tissues- not because of fat loss.

People with desk jobs are at higher risk of lymphatic stagnation than athletes.

Tight fascia from stress, trauma, or posture can. trp. fluid and change body shape.

Skin glow is directly related to lymph flow. Clearer skin often follows improved drainage.

Many people live with swollen. ankles, heavy legs, or bloated stomachs for years without realizing its lymphatic congestion.

I’m officially certified in Brazilian Beauty Formula by Josie Rushing! 🤍✨

This training was so much more than learning new techniques. It was an investment in my craft, my clients, and the kind of work I want to bring into my practice.

I’ve always believed that the body deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach. This method combines lymphatic drainage, sculpting, fascia work, and intentional bodywork to support the body while creating beautiful, visible results.

Getting to learn directly from Josie Rushing — the Queen of Lymphatic 👑 — and being surrounded by so many talented practitioners was such a special experience.

I’m excited to take everything I learned and incorporate these techniques into my treatments here in Seattle.

New skills. Deeper knowledge. Elevated results. ✨

Thank you to everyone who continues to trust me with your body, your wellness, and your self-care. This is just the beginning. 🤎

The World Cup has arrived in Seattle! Personally, I think we have the perfect infrastructure for an event like this. Where else can you walk to the match while soaking in local culture, excellent food and killer views?

If you are headed to a match, here are my recommendations:

⭐️ Go super early
⭐️ Take the train
⭐️ Get off at Pioneer Square there are plenty of screens, b**r gardens and activities.
⭐️ We grabbed a patio table at Occidental Hall across from the stadium. This was a great spot to meet up with our group as we could soak in the atmosphere, watch the game and keep an eye on the gates.
⭐️Aim to go to the gates 90 minutes before kickoff. It took about 20 minutes to get inside. Once inside there are a lot of souvenir installations. The lines were super long and popular items were selling out quickly. Get your gear ahead of time!
⭐️The match will start promptly at its designated time, you’ll want to be settled into your seats at least 15 minutes before kickoff.
⭐️After, walk along the waterfront to the viewing area on Pier 62. You can go up the steps to Pike Place Market for lunch.
⭐️Pacific Place is a great spot to watch and shop if you don’t have tickets.

Who are you cheering for? 🌎⚽️
