These sessions are for individuals recovering from surgery, particularly cosmetic and plastic surgeries, as well as gender affirming surgeries*). During the session, you will receive lymphatic treatment (using very light touch) to reduce excess swelling, thus helping prevent complications. Throughout your sessions, you can also expect:

• Lymphatic treatment to reduce the excess swelling, thus helping prevent complications like fibrosis

• Support with garment fittings

• Guidance through what can be a challenging time for many people

• Education on what is going on anatomically after surgery (why lymphatic treatment is important, why your BBL feels hard, why you might be experiencing a deep itchy feeling, etc.)

Please note that I do not use wood tools, incisional drainage, or heavy pressure during these sessions.

I typically recommend a package of 12 to start for anyone recovering from surgeries (especially Lipo 360, tummy tucks, BBLs, etc.). This would allow for three sessions per week for the first month and we will lower the frequency during the second and third months to match where you are at in your recovery. Please reach out with any questions you may have regarding importance of these sessions, frequency, etc.!

It is important to work with a massage therapist who is fully trained in post op care, beyond just lymphatic treatment. I have received training through two accredited courses and worked under the guidance of Luciana Andrus for 12 months to gain full confidence in my knowledge and touch:

• Brazilian Techniques by Luciana Andrus

• TOSI University

*Sliding scale rates are available for queer/trans individuals recovering from gender affirming surgery. Please reach out for more information!
