Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A deeply restorative, calming and detoxifying treatment
60 Mins: £68*    75 Mins: £80    90 Mins: £95**

Woman receiving Therapeutic Marma Massage with Herbal Poultices at Starling Holistic in Arborfield
A gentle reset for your body and nervous system...
​
A calm, deeply restorative treatment designed to support the natural flow of your lymphatic system, helping to reduce fluid retention, ease congestion, and restore balance from the inside out.
This treatment is especially supportive during times of stress, recovery, hormonal change, or when the body feels sluggish, swollen, or overwhelmed.
* Please note: The 60 minute option is for repeat clients only.
** Please note: The 90 minute option includes the face.


​Your experience
​
Lie back, close your eyes, and allow your body to fully soften.

Using slow, gentle, rhythmic lymphatic drainage techniques, I work with your body’s natural pathways to support the movement of excess fluid, reduce stagnation, and encourage gentle detoxification.

The treatment is deeply calming for the nervous system, helping the body shift out of stress and into a state of rest, repair, and regulation.

You will remain fully supported throughout in a quiet, soothing environment designed to allow your system to unwind at its own pace.

Why lymphatic health matters
Your lymphatic system plays a vital role in cleansing the body by helping to remove waste, toxins, excess fluid, and cellular debris.

​When it becomes sluggish or congested, you may experience:
​• ​ Fluid retention or swelling
​• ​ ​Fatigue and low energy
​• ​ Brain fog or heaviness
​• ​ Stiffness or discomfort
​• ​ Hormonal imbalance and bloating

Supporting this system can help restore balance and ease throughout the entire body.

How Manual Lymphatic Drainage works
This treatment uses very light, precise, and rhythmic movements to gently encourage lymph fluid towards the body’s natural drainage pathways.

It is particularly beneficial:
​• ​ Prior to or after surgery (following medical guidance)
​• ​ During periods of inflammation or recovery
​• ​ To support immune and detoxification processes
​• ​ For general fluid retention and systemic congestion

It works in harmony with the body rather than forcing change, allowing natural release and regulation to occur.

How you may feel after
​
Clients often describe feeling:
​• ​ Lighter and less swollen
​• ​ Deeply relaxed and calm
​• ​ Less bloated or “puffy”
​• ​ More energised over the following days
​• ​ A noticeable sense of internal ease

This treatment supports both physical and emotional reset, helping the body return to balance.
Picture
Who this treatment is for
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is suitable for clients seeking a gentle, restorative approach to support the body’s natural lymphatic function.
​
It may be beneficial for those experiencing:
​• ​ Low energy, heaviness, or systemic congestion
​• ​ Autoimmune-related inflammation and fatigue
​• ​ Post-surgical swelling and recovery
​• ​ Fluid retention and bloating
​• ​ Hormonal changes, including menopause
​• ​ Lymphoedema and lipedema
​• ​ Stress-related nervous system imbalance
A holistic approach to wellbeing
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is not only a physical treatment. It also supports emotional regulation and nervous system balance.

​
By calming the body’s stress response, it can help improve sleep, digestion, energy levels, and overall resilience.
​
​A healthy body and mind are deeply connected, and this treatment supports both.

OPTION B :
For medical conditions or procedures

For Post-operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage the cost is £90 for a 75-minute treatment, but I will need to know a little more about your specific requirements first.

Six restorative post-operative MLD treatments to help your body heal: £495 (usually £540) when paid in advance.

Understanding how to best treat and heal your body after cosmetic surgery, cancer surgery or other medical procedures that affects your lymphatic system can often lead to many questions.
​Lymphatic drainage massage can help alleviate lymphoedema and other symptoms of your previous or upcoming procedures, but it is important to ensure your optimal health and safety. To make sure  you get the best care, I will require medical consent from your GP or specialist before proceeding with this treatment. 

Getting started is easy - arrange a call back
​
Please fill out the enquiry form below before your procedure to ensure treatment as soon as you’re back home. I will quickly respond to answer any of your questions and walk you through the process of getting consent from your healthcare professional.
