Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) · Lymphatic Calm™, my signature method

The reset your body remembers.

Slow, intentional touch that encourages lymph flow, eases puffiness and inflammation, and quiets a busy mind. Built on years of training and certification in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), developed over 17 years of lymphatic work, and now taught to other therapists.

It's not about pressure. It's about presence.

60 minutes $12590 minutes $180

Your body hasn't forgotten how to heal. It just needs a gentle reminder.

“Incredibly gentle but somehow so effective.”

About Mel

Hi, I'm Mel.

I've been a reflexologist since 1999, a Reiki Master since 2001 and a licensed massage therapist since 2003. I've worked in spas, chiropractic offices and medical settings, taught other therapists, and spent the last 17 years focused on lymphatic work. I also specialize in plantar fasciitis, sciatica and frozen shoulder.

I believe massage doesn't have to hurt to work. I use a firm, patient touch to melt tissue layer by layer, and I'll send you home with simple self-care so your progress lasts. Tell me what's going on, and I'll help you choose the right session.

Often, yes. Weekends and couples sessions fill first, so give a week of notice when you can.

No. Massage does not have to hurt to be effective — a firm, patient touch melts tissue layer by layer instead of forcing it.
