What to Expect
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle but deeply effective treatment that stimulates the lymphatic system, supports detoxification, and enhances circulation. This rhythmic technique combines the classic Vodder method with elements of myofascial release to reduce puffiness, soften held tension, and leave you feeling lighter both physically and emotionally.
This is not a deep tissue massage. The pressure remains light, with a therapeutic rhythm that allows the nervous system to settle and the body’s natural processes to reset. Many clients report improved digestion, better sleep, reduced bloating, and an overall sense of calm after just one session.
We offer two focus areas for this treatment: Mental Health Support and Physical and Aesthetic Wellness. Both use the same high-level techniques, adapted to your needs and goals.
BLD for Mental Health Support
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage can be a powerful tool for clients navigating stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma. This style of massage helps regulate the nervous system and encourages the body to move out of fight-or-flight mode. Clients often describe it as deeply grounding.
In a 2024 internal case study, clients receiving regular BLD sessions showed a 70% decrease in perceived stress and anxiety symptoms over a four-week period. Results may vary, but many feel a shift after just one visit.
BLD for Physical and Aesthetic Wellness
This treatment also supports physical well-being by reducing water retention, promoting lymph flow, and improving circulation. Some clients book BLD to feel more sculpted or to reduce bloating and heaviness. Others come for the long-term wellness benefits, including lymphatic health, hormonal balance, and immune support.
It is also a popular maintenance option for athletes, busy professionals, and anyone who wants to feel more at ease in their body.
