Lymphatic Massage
A lymphatic massage uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph system. The technique is light and slow, following the direction of lymph flow. The experience is relaxing and gentle — not a firm-pressure massage.
Lymphatic massage is often sought for reducing puffiness and promoting a sense of lightness. It is a relaxing technique that does not involve deep pressure. Clients who prefer gentle touch find it comfortable and soothing.
Deep-Tissue Massage
A deep-tissue massage uses firmer pressure to target deeper muscle layers and areas of tension. The technique involves slow, focused strokes and sustained pressure on specific areas. The experience is more intense than a lymphatic massage but should not be painful.
Deep-tissue massage is ideal for clients who prefer firmer pressure and want focused work on specific areas of tension. Communication with your therapist is important — if the pressure is too intense, let them know so they can adjust.
Foot Reflexology
Foot reflexology is a targeted pressure technique applied to specific points on the feet. These points correspond to different areas of the body in reflexology theory. The technique uses thumb, finger, and hand pressure on the foot reflex points for a relaxing, therapeutic experience.
Reflexology is a 30-minute session focused entirely on the feet. It is ideal for clients who want foot-focused relaxation without a full-body massage. Reflexology can also be added to pedicure or podology services for a combined experience.

Choosing the Right Massage
If you prefer gentle, relaxing touch, a lymphatic massage is the appropriate choice. If you prefer firm pressure and want focused work on tension areas, deep-tissue is the right option. If you want foot-focused relaxation, reflexology is ideal.
Your preferences matter. Some clients alternate between techniques depending on their needs on a given day. Discuss your preferences with your therapist — they can recommend the best approach and adjust pressure during the session.
What to Expect During a Massage
Your massage begins with a brief consultation. Your therapist will ask about your preferences, any areas of concern, and your comfort with pressure. You will be given privacy to undress to your comfort level and position yourself on the massage table, covered by a sheet or towel.
During the massage, your therapist will use the appropriate technique and pressure. Communicate throughout — if the pressure is too much or too little, or if you are uncomfortable in any way, let your therapist know. They will adjust to ensure your comfort.
