Lymphatic Massage

Lymphatic massage is a focused, functional approach to help your body clear out built-up waste, fluid, and inflammation — especially after stress, illness, trauma, or surgery. Unlike a typical relaxation massage that targets muscles, this work is all about getting the lymphatic system flowing so your body can heal more efficiently.

At Magnolia Wellness, it’s not just light strokes or spa-style drainage. I use hands-on techniques that activate pressure systems so that the lymphatic systems drains better. It’s deeply therapeutic and designed to get your body back to homeostasis.

When your lymphatic system gets backed up, your body holds on to inflammation, cellular waste, and stress chemicals, which can show up as pain, swelling, stiffness, low energy, or even brain fog.

Lymphatic therapy works by restoring proper flow and drainage so your body can actually process and release what’s been stuck.

This is always client dependent, however; If you're working through a specific concern — like post-surgery swelling, chronic inflammation, fatigue, or pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments — I often recommend weekly sessions for a set period of time (usually 4–6 weeks) to help get your system moving and clearing more efficiently.

Once your body starts responding and things begin to flow better, we can shift to maintenance sessions depending on your lifestyle, stress levels, and goals.

While lymphatic therapy is safe and supportive for most people, there are some medical contraindications that may require caution — such as active infections, fevers, certain heart conditions, unmanaged blood clots, or untreated cancers.

We’ll always discuss your unique health history during your intake, and I’ll tailor the session accordingly. If anything comes up that requires medical clearance, we’ll handle it on a case-by-case basis to make sure you’re receiving care that’s both safe and effective.
