Manual Lymphatic Drainage,  (MLD) is a gentle, effective form of bodywork designed to encourage the natural flow of lymph — the fluid that carries waste away from tissues and back toward the heart. Using soft, rhythmic movements that echo the body’s lymphatic rhythm, MLD helps reduce swelling, support healing, and improve overall comfort.

Whether you’re feeling sluggish, experiencing mild to moderate swelling or inflammation, recovering from an injury or surgery, or simply want to support your immune system, lymphatic drainage can be a helpful, non-invasive option. It’s especially effective as post surgical manual lymphatic drainage after procedures like liposuction, abdominoplasty, facelift, and breast surgeries, and can help smooth lumps and bumps often associated with liposuction.

MMLD is performed by Carmela Wiese, LMT, CMLDT, trained in the Vodder Technique through Klose Training with Nicola McGill. With nearly 10 years of experience, Carmela works with post-surgical patients, people with lipedema and lymphedema, and those managing chronic health issues such as autoimmune conditions.
