What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapeutic technique that applies targeted pressure to specific points on the feet (and sometimes hands) that correspond to organs, muscles, and systems throughout the body. Practitioners believe these “reflex points” act like a map of the body, and stimulating them can help clear energy pathways, promote circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
Who Benefits from Reflexology?
Reflexology may help:
- Individuals with stress or anxiety seeking a non‑invasive way to relax.
- People experiencing headaches, sinus issues, digestive discomfort, or hormonal imbalances.
- Clients with chronic pain who prefer gentle touch modalities.
- Athletes and active individuals who want to support recovery and improve balance.
- Anyone seeking a holistic approach to wellness.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage

What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, skin‑level technique that helps your body’s lymphatic system move fluid more efficiently. Using slow, rhythmic strokes and precise sequences (no deep pressure), we encourage stagnant lymph to reroute toward healthy drainage pathways. Many clients describe it as deeply calming—more like “feather‑light waves” than traditional massage.
Why it helps
Your lymphatic system is part of your immune and fluid‑regulation network. When it’s moving well, tissues feel less puffy and tight. MLD can help to:
- Reduce mild swelling/puffiness (face, ankles, hands, abdomen)
- Relieve a sense of “congestion” or heaviness in tissues
- Soothe the nervous system (great for stress and sleep)
- Support recovery after travel, intense training days, or light sprains/strains
- Complement post‑operative care once you’re medically cleared (we avoid incisions and follow provider guidance)
MLD is gentle by design: it targets skin and superficial fascia where lymph vessels live. It should not feel deep or painful.
Keep the benefits going (simple home habits)
- Hydrate & mineralize (electrolytes if you’re active)
- Breathe low and slow (diaphragmatic breathing gently moves lymph)
- Gentle movement (5–10 minute walks, ankle pumps, shoulder circles)
- Vary positions (break up long sitting/standing stints)
Ready to feel lighter? Book your Lymphatic Drainage session or add a 30‑minute spot sequence to your next appointment. If you’re post‑op or under medical care, bring your provider’s guidance—we’ll take it from there, gently and safely.
Why Choose Reflexology?
People often choose reflexology to complement medical care or as part of a wellness routine. Common reasons include:
- Stress relief & relaxation: The rhythmic pressure and sustained holds can promote deep relaxation, helping quiet a racing mind and reduce anxiety.
- Improved circulation: By stimulating reflex zones, reflexology may encourage blood and lymphatic flow, supporting detoxification and nutrient delivery.
- Pain reduction & comfort: Reflexology can be a gentle way to soothe headaches, digestive discomfort, lower‑back tension, menstrual cramps, and other common complaints.
- Energy & wellbeing: Clients frequently report feeling more “grounded,” energized, and centered after a session.
What to expect
- 1. Brief check‑in & plan – We confirm goals (area of focus, sensitivities, medical clearance when needed).
- 2. Gentle sequence – Light, rhythmic strokes begin at the body’s “terminus” areas (neck/chest) to open drainage, then move to targeted regions (face/neck, arms/hands, abdomen, hips, legs/feet).
- 3. No oils needed (or minimal) Techniques work best on clean, dry skin with subtle glide.
- 4. Calming pace – You may feel warm, floaty, or sleepy; many clients doze off.
- 5. Simple aftercare –Hydration, easy movement (walking, diaphragmatic breathing), and avoiding heavy exertion right after your first session.
Common focus areas
- Face & neck: puffiness, jaw/ear pressure, post‑travel “panda eyes”
- Arms & hands: desk strain, post‑activity tightness
- Abdomen & hips: gentle sequence to encourage fluid movement and ease bloating sensations
- Legs & feet: heavy legs, ankle swelling after flights or standing shifts
Please tell us in advance if you have any of the following: acute infection/fever, active blood clots (DVT), uncontrolled heart or kidney issues, active cancer treatment without provider clearance, severe or unexplained edema, or recent surgery not yet cleared. We’ll adapt—or defer—your session to keep you safe.
Who is it for?
- Desk‑bound & stressed: Looking for a reset that calms the body and brain
- Active folks/athletes: Wanting lighter legs and faster day‑to‑day recovery
- Post‑travel clients: Dealing with fluid shifts from flights or long drives
- Post‑op clients (with clearance): Seeking soft‑tissue comfort and guided swelling support
- Sensitive bodies: Prefer lighter work that still delivers noticeable relief
(If you have diagnosed lymphedema or a complex medical history, we’ll coordinate with your provider and may refer you to a Certified Lymphedema Therapist for comprehensive care.)
What results feel like
- A sense of “lightness” or easier movement in the treated areas
- Softer, less puffy tissues and improved skin comfort
- Deep calm (many clients report a great night’s sleep)
- Subtle changes after the first visit, with best results as a short series if swelling/tension is recurrent
