How an appointment works

No. The pressure is deliberately light and the movements are rhythmic. That is part of the technique and has to do with how superficially a significant part of the lymphatic system sits. Harder does not mean better here.

If you visibly retain fluid, the body can temporarily look less bloated and feel more defined after the treatment. That is fluid movement, not fat loss. How visible the effect is differs from person to person.

Because fluid retention can affect how the stomach, legs and waist look, among other things. Some clients therefore book a treatment just before a holiday, wedding, photoshoot or party. On top of that it remains a very relaxing treatment.

A trigger point can be tender, but I do not work on the principle that more pain automatically gives a better result. I adjust the pressure and combine targeted techniques with calmer strokes.

Only what is needed before the treatment. After that you help set the tone. If you want to talk, we talk. If you want silence, I do not need to fill it.

In case of fever, active infections, acute thrombosis or certain other medical situations, massage or lymphatic drainage may not be advisable. Do you have a medical condition, unexplained swelling, recent surgery, are you pregnant or under a doctor's care? Mention it beforehand. If in doubt, I will ask you to seek medical advice first.
