Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing bloating or swelling, looking to enhance your skin’s natural radiance or simply wanting a deeply calming treatment, our lymphatic therapies offer a holistic approach that leaves you feeling refreshed, rebalanced and cared for from the inside out.

Lymphatic Cupping Facial

Contour. Drain. Glow

This restorative but results-driven facial combines advanced lymphatic cupping techniques with deeply nurturing facial therapy to support skin health, reduce puffiness and enhance natural facial contours.

The treatment begins with a thorough double cleanse and tone, followed by a tension-relieving shoulder and neck massage to encourage relaxation and support healthy lymph flow. Gentle facial cupping is then performed to stimulate lymphatic drainage, boost circulation and reduce puffiness.

A sculpting facial massage follows to revitalise and refine the skin before a nourishing mask is applied. While the mask works, enjoy a calming scalp massage to promote complete relaxation. The treatment is completed with a targeted serum, moisturising cream and eye cream, leaving the skin hydrated, refreshed and glowing.

Ideal for anyone experiencing puffiness, congestion, dullness or fluid retention, this facial supports detoxification while delivering visible results and a beautifully relaxed finish.

Lymphatic Manual Drainage (MLD)

Gentle • Restorative • Rebalancing

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic treatment designed to support the body’s natural lymphatic system and encourage the movement of lymph fluid around the body. Using slow, flowing movements and very light pressure, this deeply relaxing treatment works differently to traditional massage, helping to calm the nervous system and create a sense of balance and wellbeing. MLD may help support those experiencing fluid retention, puffiness, feelings of heaviness, stress and tension, fatigue, discomfort associated with swelling or inflammation, sinus congestion and symptoms associated with hormonal changes or menopause. Many clients leave feeling lighter, calmer and deeply relaxed. A consultation will be completed prior to treatment to ensure MLD is suitable for you.
