Office safety precautions moving forward due to Covid-19:
-Please, if you think you even MIGHT be sick or feeling the least bit under the weather, reschedule your appointment.
Where will my session take place?
Your session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.
Must I be completely undressed?
Manual lymphatic drainage sessions are traditionally performed with the client mostly unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.
Will the practitioner be present when I disrobe?
The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet, unless you need assistance, which we are always glad to help in any way we can.
Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
What parts of my body will be massaged?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage will include lymph node beds in the groin, armpits, neck, and abdomen as well as most of the skin surface of the body (to your comfort level).
What will manual lymphatic drainage feel like?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses very light strokes in a wavelike motion directing lymphatic flow towards the circulatory system. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Bodywork is most effective when your body is not resisting.
What should I do during the session?
Before your session, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the session, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they are experiencing discomfort, need a temperature change, or anything else relevant to the session. Others chose to talk, which can be a form of relaxation as well. I am open to whatever the client is inclined to need. Be warned that the first session will be an information session about how the lymphatic system works. If you would prefer to not receive the information, please let me know so I can accommodate your wishes. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
How will I feel after manual lymphatic drainage?
Most people feel very relaxed. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. After a lymphatic session, you could feel lighter and deeply relaxed, however, you could feel a little nauseated and or have a headache due to the detoxification and most likely will have to use the restroom.
What are the benefits of manual lymphatic drainage?
The benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage include detoxification for the body, an increase in the immune system's effectiveness, reduced illnesses, and the elimination of acute and chronic swelling/inflammation.
How many sessions are recommended?
When receiving MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage), it is recommended to receive 3 sessions within two weeks. This allows the lymphatic system an opportunity to get clean and working smoothly. The second and third sessions allow for a deeper cleansing.
Post-surgical recommendations are in line with your surgeon's recommendations and the way your body reacts and heals from the trauma. The more extensive the work, the more sessions are recommended. See Dr. Wolf's recommendation here.
Are there any medical conditions that would make manual lymphatic drainage inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, you will be asked general health questions as well as questions specific to your condition. You must inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking.
Do you accept Insurance? What forms of payment do you accept?
Even though I have had the same education as the lymphedema therapists in the rehab departments at the major hospitals, because I am a massage therapist, insurance does not reimburse my services.
White Mountain Lymphatic Care is self-pay. I accept for payment

Check from a local bank

Package and Cancellation Policy
24-hour advance notice is requested when canceling an appointment. Please call, text, or e-mail. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment.
Late Arrivals
If you arrive late, your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours. Depending upon how late you arrive, your therapist will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start a treatment. Regardless of the length of the treatment actually given, you will be responsible for the “full” session. Out of respect and consideration to your therapist and other customers, please plan accordingly and be on time.
I look forward to serving you!
