ABOUT

Lymphatic Drainage Massage at Lymphatica

As a Lymphatic Drainage Massage Specialist in Sydney, servicing Leichhardt and the Inner West, learn more about what I offer and how I work.....

​

Everyone is different, and as such, each treatment will be tailored to your individual needs, and as a Dr Vodder qualified Lymphoedema Therapist you can rest assured that you are in good hands.

​

The Dr Vodder technique of MLD is very different to a traditional massage. Your therapist uses specific movements to stimulate your lymphatic system, relieving oedema and inflammation, shifting cellular waste and leaving you feeling lighter and freer. The treatment can be extremely gentle and targeted, but don’t be fooled, just because the pressure might be light, it doesn’t mean that things aren’t happening underneath the skin!

​

It is important to note that Lymphoedema should only be treated by a qualified Lymphoedema Therapist, always check that your therapist is fully qualified in this field before starting treatment. You can rest assured that I have successfully completed all the required training for Lymphoedema management.

​

FACE & BODY

​

There is no denying the beauty benefits of a healthy and happy lymphatic system.   After all,. there's a reason that Elle McPherson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meghan Markle and countless celebrities can't get enough of Manual Lymphatic Drainage and make it part of their beauty regimen.

 

A sluggish system will always end up showing on the surface.  Think puffy or dull and tired looking skin, dark under eye circles,  constant breakouts, poorly healing skin or even a bloated belly.  All of these can be signs that your lymphatic system is not functioning optimally and needs a bit of love.    

 

Working gently, and with intention,  lymphatic drainage can boost your body’s own healing abilities, brightening up your complexion, reducing puffiness and calming inflammation, and most importantly getting you glowing from the inside out. 

​

My work with with lymphatic system over the years ignited an interest to explore the beauty benefits and has led me to further my training and expand my offerings in holistic beauty, with a particular interest in facials.  If you want to improve your skin tone., release your frown lines and glow from the inside out, then my lymph loving facials are for you!

MEET GWEN

I was first drawn to working with the lymphatic system whilst studying for my massage diploma in 2006. 

 

Over the years I have been pulled back to this wonderful modality, and never more so than during my time working at the Chris O Brien Lifehouse.  Working here I witnessed the importance of the work of lymphatic drainage therapists in the community in assisting people having undergone surgery for head and neck, breast and gynaecological cancer, to manage their symptoms and maintain their quality of life.

​

This bought me around to finally following my desire to open a space completely dedicated to working with our beautiful lymphatic system, focusing on health, beauty and wellness.  I have strived to create a calming and relaxing space where stressed out folks can take time out of their busy lives, to nourish and nurture themselves and their most essential of body systems.

​

I am constantly developing and learning new skills in order to bring the best treatments for my clients, whether you’re looking for the ultimate facial massage, Gua Sha facials, Lymphoedema management, general immune boosting or have undergone cosmetic procedures I can’t wait to help you on your lymphatic journey.

​

Call or book today and join the ever growing group of people recognising the importance of a healthy and happy lymphatic system.

​

I look forward to seeing you on the table
