Nourish Your Body with Massage

We should all live fully and intentionally until we die. Hospice is about providing dignity and support along the dying journey. My goal is to provide comfort, rest, relaxation and stress reduction using massage therapy.  Quality of life is the goal.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is designed to help the body increase lymphatic circulation and decrease excess fluid (edema). It utilizes light, slow, rhythmic strokes that stimulates the lymph nodes and lymph vessels. The strokes gently stretch the skin and connective tissue creating a gentle pumping action that increases lymphatic flow.

MLD is often used to help reduce symptoms of lymphedema by moving fluid from an area where the lymphatic system may be compromised due to lymph node dissection or radiation treatment for cancer, to an area with healthy lymphatics.

MLD is also used regularly pre and post surgery to assist the body in the healing process. It reduces edema which reduces pain. I am trained in the Vodder Technique for MLD.
