Affinity Massage

Have you tried dry cupping alongside a deep tissue massage?

If you’re carrying tension, feeling tight or struggling with muscle soreness after training, this combination could be just what your body needs!

Deep tissue massage combined with dry cupping can help to:

* Relieve muscular tension and tightness
* Encourage local blood flow to the treated area
* Support relaxation and post-exercise recovery
* Help ease that heavy, tight feeling in your muscles
* Support mobility and help you move more comfortably

Dry cupping works by creating gentle suction on the skin, lifting the tissue rather than compressing it. Combined with deep tissue techniques, it offers a different approach to working with areas of tension.

Every treatment is tailored to you, your body and what your muscles are telling me. Whether you’re training hard, sitting at a desk all day or simply carrying tension in your shoulders and back, let’s give your body some well-deserved attention.

My own pregnancy Manual Lymphatic Facial 🤍

Please ignore how miserable I look 😂… but the difference between these two photos is exactly why I love MLD!

In the first photo I was feeling really puffy, dehydrated and like I needed a good flush out. Pregnancy can mean your body is carrying extra fluid, and I could definitely feel it in my face.

After my treatment, I could feel an immediate difference. My face felt less puffy, lighter and refreshed, and I could physically feel the fluid starting to move.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is such a gentle treatment, but the results can be amazing especially when your body is going through so many changes during pregnancy.

If you’re pregnant and feeling puffy, swollen or just not quite yourself, MLD could be a lovely way to give yourself some well deserved me time. 🤍

This is why I do what I do!

My client first came to me experiencing symptoms associated with PCOS/PMOS including bloating and difficulty with her menstrual cycle.

This is now her second treatment with me, and after just 90 minutes of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, she could feel and visibly see a difference in the amount of bloating and fluid retention.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses gentle, rhythmic techniques to encourage lymphatic flow and support the body’s natural fluid drainage. While MLD doesn’t treat PCOS/PMOS or hormonal imbalances, it can be a lovely treatment to support your body and help you feel less heavy, puffy and bloated.

Every treatment is tailored to you and what your body needs on the day. Message me for more information

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage!Why Is It So Important?

After surgery, your body naturally produces extra fluid and inflammation as it heals. Manual lymphatic drainage can help support your body’s natural lymphatic system, encourage fluid movement and reduce swelling, helping you feel more comfortable during your recovery.

But here’s the important part… one treatment usually isn’t enough consistency especially through recovery is key!

Post-operative lymphatic drainage works best as part of a course of treatments. Your body is continuously healing and producing fluid, so regular treatments can help keep the lymphatic system moving throughout your recovery and help to loosen any tight areas from surgery.

Everyone’s recovery is different, which is why your treatment plan should be tailored to your surgery, your body and how you are healing.

Supporting your body throughout recovery can make such a difference especially when you’re at your most vulnerable.

If you’re recovering from surgery and want to know whether post-op lymphatic drainage could support your recovery, send me a message!
