What Should I Avoid Before a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

You booked your session. Maybe you've been dealing with swelling, sluggish digestion, post-surgical inflammation, or just that heavy, stuck feeling that tells you your body needs support. Whatever brought you here, I want you to get the absolute most out of your time on my table — and that process starts before you ever walk through the door.

After 10 years of working with clients, I can tell pretty quickly when someone has set themselves up for a great session — and when they've accidentally worked against themselves.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Post-Surgical Swelling & Recovery
Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Post-Surgical Swelling & Recovery

A few years back, a client came to see me just a few weeks after having a C-section. She was exhausted in that deep, bone-tired way that goes beyond just not sleeping — she was bloated, inflamed, and frankly, just didn't feel like herself yet. Her body had been through something major, and it was holding onto every bit of that experience in the form of fluid, tension, and swelling around her incision site.

Over the course of three weeks working together, something beautiful happened. Her swelling reduced noticeably. Her scar started healing faster than her doctor had expected. And slowly, she started to feel like she was living in her own body again.

I've seen this same thing unfold for women recovering from tummy tucks, liposuction, and breast surgeries. The results aren't magic — they're physiology.
