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.

As one of the few practitioners offering buccal massage here in Greenville and the Upstate SC area, I work with clients who come in for very different reasons. Some want to look better.
