Swedish massage therapy is the gentle manipulation of the soft tissue and joints of the body. It can help alleviate muscle aches and tension, increase range of motion and ease movement, reduce stress, improve sleep, lessen pain, and promote an overall feeling of wellness.

Manual Lymph Drainage (Vodder certified) is a slow and gentle type of massage that stimulates the lymphatic system to help remove fluid from the tissues and reduce swelling. It is beneficial for those with lymphedema, lipedema, and swelling from surgery or injury.
