Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a light-touch therapy using rhythmic movements on the skin.

This therapy is recommended for relaxation, detoxification, pain relief, reducing edema and boosting immunity.

  • Increases lymphatic and blood circulation.
  • Relief of pain and inflammation, edema, and tension.
  • Reduces recovery time after an injury and/or post-surgery.
    Increases metabolism and aids in weight loss.
  • Improves skin elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles.

This therapy may not be right for you if you have any of the following:

  • Major heart problem
  • Acute kidney problems
  • Active blood clots, infections, bleeding, and undiagnosed lumps
  • Active Cancer patients should speak with their Physician to rule out any possible contraindications.

  • Thrombosis
  • Thyroid Disfunction (untreated)

If you are a post-op cosmetic surgery patient:

  • I don’t do compression bandaging or work on severe stages of lymphedema patients.
  • I don’t perform incisional drainage.
  • Any drains placed after surgery should be removed or contained and incisions should be closed or covered.
  • You are responsible for bringing any bandages or alcohol wipes that you may need.
  • YOU ARE STRICTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE FROM A PHYSICIAN PRIOR TO PARTICIPATING IN ANY THERAPY PROGRAM.

“Shannon is very knowledgeable about what she is doing. Everything was explained to me prior, during, and after the massage. After having liposuction done in Miami I got myself into a mess and she has helped so much with the pain I was having. I highly recommend her.”

Christina H.

“Shannon is amazing. Professional and very informative on the process. Very friendly, definitely qualified. I came for a lymphatic drainage massage because I was still experiencing some swelling and numbness from a recent procedure. I left with a noticeable difference and feeling great!”

Melissa F.

“Shannon is one of the most caring, knowledgeable and skilled Licensed Massage Therapists I know. Holistic BodyWorks for Women is in a convenient location and her space is very healing. From cupping to postoperative lymphatic drainage to Craniosacral she is so knowledgeable and helpful for a variety of people who may otherwise not be able to receive massage. With a medical approach to her practice she is thorough and educational about her treatment. I highly recommend her!”
