The add-ons I offer aren't just extras. Each one has a reason.

🔥 Hot stones — heat penetrates deeper than hands alone, helping chronically tight muscle tissue release more fully.

🫙 Cupping — creates decompression instead of compression. Lifts the tissue to improve circulation and break up fascial adhesion.

🦶 Foot scrub — because your feet carry you everywhere and deserve actual attention.

✨ Reiki integration — added at the end of a session for those who want an energetic element alongside the physical work.

Ask me about adding any of these to your next session.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage isn't just for one type of person.

Here's who commonly benefits:

→ Post-surgical patients
→ People with chronic swelling or unexplained puffiness
→ Anyone recovering from illness or injury
→ People with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue
→ Athletes managing inflammation after training
→ Anyone who spends long hours sitting or traveling
→ People who just feel heavy and sluggish

If you've been curious about MLD but weren't sure it was for you — it probably is.

I get asked about the name a lot — so here's the story.

Metta is a word that means loving kindness. The practice of extending genuine warmth and care to the people around you.

When I was thinking about what to call this practice, nothing else felt right. Because that's exactly what I wanted every session to be — not just skilled hands and good technique, but real care for the person on the table.

Your body carries a lot. The stress of your days, the tension you've been holding, the things you haven't had time to tend to. When you come to Metta, my job is to meet all of that with presence and intention.

That's what the name means. That's what every session is built around.

If you've been curious about booking — I'd love to meet you. 🌿

Here's something a lot of people don't realize about muscle tension:

It's often not a muscle problem. It's a nervous system problem.

When your nervous system is stuck in a stress response, it keeps your muscles in a low-grade state of contraction. That's why your shoulders creep up toward your ears without you noticing. Why your jaw is always tight. Why your lower back never fully relaxes.

Deep tissue work alone won't fix a dysregulated nervous system.

That's why part of my work is helping your body feel safe enough to let go.

People ask me this all the time: isn't MLD just a light massage?

Not exactly.

Regular massage works primarily on muscles — releasing tension, improving circulation, addressing knots and adhesions.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage works on a completely different system. It uses specific, rhythmic, feather-light strokes to stimulate the lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin.

The pressure is intentionally gentle. Too much pressure actually collapses the lymphatic vessels and stops the work.

They're complementary — not the same thing.

If you've never tried combining Manual Lymphatic Drainage with massage — The Metta Reset was designed for you.

Here's how it works:

We start with MLD — a gentle, rhythmic technique that clears fluid, calms the nervous system, and prepares your body to receive deeper work.

Then we move into integrative massage — addressing the muscle tension, structural holding, and areas that need direct attention.

The result: your body gets the full picture. Not just relaxation. Not just drainage. Both.

This is the session I'd give myself.

Your lymphatic system doesn't have an obvious warning light. But your body does send signals.

Common signs lymphatic flow may be sluggish:

→ Puffiness in the face, especially in the morning
→ Swollen ankles or feet
→ Feeling heavy or achy without a clear reason
→ Frequent colds or slow recovery
→ Skin that looks dull or feels congested
→ Fatigue that doesn't improve with rest

None of these on their own confirm a lymphatic issue — but they're worth paying attention to.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle technique that can help support the system and get things moving again.

I don't do cookie-cutter massages.

Before every session, we talk. I want to know:

→ Where you're holding tension
→ What your body has been through lately
→ What you actually need today — not what you think you're supposed to ask for

Some days that's deep tissue work on a stubborn shoulder. Some days that's gentle, rhythmic work to calm your nervous system down.

The technique follows the body. Not the other way around.

Your lymphatic system is one of the most important — and most overlooked — systems in your body.

Here's what it actually does:

→ Moves fluid out of your tissues and back into circulation
→ Carries immune cells throughout the body
→ Filters waste, bacteria, and cellular debris
→ Supports your body's natural detox process

Unlike your circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump. It relies on movement, breathing, and muscle contractions to keep things flowing.

When it slows down, you feel it — swelling, heaviness, fatigue, and puffiness are common signs.

More on that later this week. 👇

My name is Gina, and I'm a licensed massage therapist here in Travelers Rest, SC.

Metta Massage Studio is a one-person practice built around one idea: your body already knows how to heal — it sometimes just needs the right support to get there.

I work with people dealing with chronic tension, post-surgical recovery, lymphatic congestion, and a nervous system that won't settle down.

If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to work with you.
