FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your Questions, Answered

You’re bound to have lots of questions or concerns. Below, you’ll find a list of several frequently asked questions from my clients. Connect with me today for more information.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST MLD SESSION? WHY MLD AFTER PLASTIC SURGERY? ARE YOU A LYMPHEDEMA THERAPIST?

In the first session, please allow an extra 15 minutes evaluation, which includes a review of your medical history and an intake form sent via email (you can print and fill it out before your appointment). The regular lasts 60 minutes, with 90-minute options available if needed. It's recommended to drink plenty of water afterward to help eliminate toxins. We do not use lotions oils for Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage, but we may use castor oil with our vital lymph synergy essential oil blend for certain MLD treatments. Clients will also receive self-treatment strategies, like Self Lymphatic Massage and dry brushing, to support their healing at home. Sessions are tailored to meet each client's specific needs. Our focus is on pain relief, reducing inflammation and restoring range of motion. We may incorporate CST, Myofascial Release techniques, cupping and energy healing tailored to each individual. As we continue to update this, you may find additional modalities available for your sessions. Healing varies by person, but most clients experience relief within 1-6 sessions, depending on the treatment type. For optimal results, we recommend one or two MLD treatments before a procedure, and some patients may benefit from 1-6 post-op treatments, especially after liposuction in specific areas for example, legs, arms or flanks.

Many people undergoing abdominal liposuction may need up to 12 sessions, and some may require more, particularly those who have had "Smart-lipo." Clients opting for multiple procedures, like lipo combined with a tummy tuck or Brazilian Butt Lift, might also need additional sessions.

Why Manual Lymphatic Drainage after liposuction, Smart-lipo, Tummy Tuck, Cool Sculpting or other cosmetic surgery procedure?

Patients may notice a hardness or lumpiness to the areas treated with liposuction especially in the abdominal area and even more so if combined with other body contouring procedures (such as fat injections). This is normal right after the procedure. This post-surgical lymphedema is caused by inflammation and trauma from the cannula moving under the skin. Channels are formed by the cannula that can fill up with fluid and the tissue also becomes swollen. Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps to move the fluid by gently pumping it back into the lymph vessels. Reducing the swelling can reduce discomfort. Without MLD, the inflammation can evolve into fibrosis or a seroma can form. Many doctors prescribe Manual Lymphatic Drainage after liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures to make sure their patients get the best possible results from their procedure.

What is the difference between Vodder and Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage massage?

Vodder lymphatic drainage massage technique is gentle, light, rhythmic strokes that follow the body's lymphatic pathways. It is intended to reduce swelling, improve the immune system, relieve pain and discomfort and it is use for recovering from surgery, experiencing edema, cancer treatment.

Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage techniques are deep, rhythmic strokes that target specific areas of the body.

Intended to reduce cellulite, improve skin tone, target specific body concerns and it is commonly use to improving physical appearance, targeting cellulite, body shape improvement.

Are you a Lymphedema Therapist?

I am not a Lymphedema Therapist; but I have experience as a Massage Therapist, specializing in supporting cancer patients with mild to moderate secondary lymphedema (stages 0, 1, and 2) through Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).

MLD is a key component of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) and is used in the first phase. CDT also includes compression, exercise, and skin care. CDT is the gold standard for lymphedema treatment, emphasizing self-care and additional support services like psychological counseling and nutritional guidance.

WHEN CAN I START RECEIVING MLD AFTER MY SURGERY?

You can start Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) 48 -72 hours after your procedure, with physician's release confirming no infection and regulated pain medications. For oncology patients, it's best to wait at least 2 days post-chemotherapy to allow the treatment to work without stimulating the lymphatic system. Regarding compression garments, you need your physician's approval to remove it during the session. If advised to keep it on, MLD can still be effective, as it promotes lymphatic movement and helps eliminate excess fluid naturally through your urinary system.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR A MYOFASCIAL RELEASE SESSION AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?

In the first session, please allow an extra 15 minutes evaluation, which includes a review of your medical history, an intake form (available for printing before your appointment), and a physical assessment. This is followed by a 60-minute treatment. Clients will receive self-treatment strategies to aid healing and are encouraged to drink plenty of water. Please wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing and avoid using body lotion or oil before your session. Treatments are tailored to individual needs, on pain relief and restoring range of motion and I may utilize techniques like CST, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Energy healing. Regular sessions last 60 minutes, with 75 minute options available. Myofascial release is usually not painful, but you may feel soreness when releasing scar tissue. Most clients find relief within 1 to 6 sessions, though identifying the root cause may take longer for lasting results. Starting with frequent sessions and then moving to monthly maintenance often benefits clients.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST B.E.S.T TREATMENT AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY FIRST SESSION?

Before your arrival, we encourage you to create two lists to help identify the patterns affecting you. The first list should include significant experiences or memories, both positive and negative. The second should focus on important people in your life, including those you think of occasionally. There’s no specific order; just number each item as you go. Feel free to add to these lists over time, as we may not cover everything in one session. After a big update, you might feel briefly groggy as your body adjusts to new energy flows. It's essential to stay hydrated before and after your session and take it slow at first.

It is also recommended to do the Morter March daily to help integrate and reset circuits and establish clarity in your nervous system.

Every individual has a unique healing journey with different layers to address. If you have few complaints and want to fine-tune your well-being, schedule sessions as needed when you feel out of balance. However, if you face multiple health challenges, committing to regular sessions—once or twice a week for three weeks—can you see progress. The number of sessions will vary for each person, and maintenance sessions can provide lifelong benefits after achieving your desired outcome.

Initial visit is about 60 min and includes a 10 min. Bio Field energy intuitive assessment ( up to 2 chakras) prior the treatment. Following sessions are about 20 min each one.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ENERGY HEALING THERAPIES?.

Energy Healing offers numerous benefits, including reduced stress, of blockages, balanced chakras, and improved alignment with the Earth's electromagnetic field. It enhances awareness and promotes internal transformation, fostering a sense of oneness and harmony. Clients often experience better sleep and overall health. A Tameana Crystal Healing session lasts about 45-50 minutes, during which clients remain fully clothed, with no massage or touching involved. Sensations may vary, from warmth and visions to a deep sense of calm. There’s no right or wrong way to feel during the session. Everyone and every experience is different.

Energy healing therapies can be perform remotely which means, the client can benefit from these modalities from the comfort of their home.
