What to expect during a MLD treatment?

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, soothing treatment that feels very different from traditional massage. Rather than using firm or intense pressure, the technique involves light, rhythmic and flowing movements designed to gently support the body’s natural lymphatic circulation.

​

​

The treatment focuses on areas such as the neck, armpits, abdomen, legs and face, working around key lymph node areas to encourage a feeling of lightness and relaxation. Many clients describe lymphatic drainage as calming, restorative and deeply relaxing—a treatment that allows both the body and mind to slow down.

When you arrive at our studio, you’ll have the opportunity to personalise your experience. 

​

If you’re new to lymphatic drainage massage, there’s no need to worry. Your therapist will talk you through the treatment, explain what to expect and adapt the session to your individual preferences, helping you feel comfortable and relaxed from start to finish.

Before Your Treatment

  • Eat something light beforehand, and avoid too much caffeine

  • Wear comfortable clothing and come as you are

  • Let us know how you’re feeling, physically or emotionally; it all helps shape your experience
