Lymphatic Massage with dry brush

The lymphatic system is a vital part of your immune and detoxification systems. It’s made up of a network of vessels and lymph nodes that carry lymph fluid — a clear liquid that helps remove toxins, waste, and excess fluid from the body. Unlike your circulatory system, which is powered by the heart, the lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump. Instead, it relies on movement, breathing, and massage to keep lymph flowing.

Lymphatic drainage is the process of encouraging this natural movement of lymph fluid. When the system becomes sluggish, it can lead to bloating, puffiness, fluid retention, or a feeling of heaviness. By stimulating the lymphatic system, lymphatic drainage helps the body:

• Clear out toxins and metabolic waste

• Reduce swelling and puffiness

• Improve circulation and skin vitality

• Support immune health and overall energy

Dry brushing is one of the simplest ways to promote lymphatic drainage at home, using gentle strokes on the skin to activate circulation and encourage lymph flow.

While VAMP™ is considered safe and well-tolerated, it may not be suitable for everyone. You should avoid treatment if you have any of the following:

If you’re looking to treat:

• Puffiness and water retention – whether from travel, hormones, or daily lifestyle

• Toxin buildup – that can leave you feeling sluggish or heavy

• Dull, dry, or rough skin – in need of smoothing and revitalization

• Slowed circulation – that affects your skin’s natural glow and overall energy

Then dry brushing may be the perfect addition to your routine.

This simple yet powerful technique involves using a natural bristle brush on dry skin, moving in sweeping strokes toward the heart. The practice stimulates the lymphatic system — the body’s natural detox network — encouraging the movement of lymph fluids that carry away waste, toxins, and excess fluid.

The benefits:

• Encourages natural detoxification by supporting lymph flow

• Reduces feelings of bloating and heaviness

• Boosts circulation and energizes the body

• Exfoliates gently, leaving skin softer and more radiant

• Prepares skin to absorb creams, oils, or serums more effectively

• Creates a calming ritual that connects body and mind

Our lymphatic drainage treatments are designed to gently stimulate the body’s natural detox pathways, reduce puffiness, and restore a sense of lightness and vitality. This deeply relaxing service combines full-body dry brushing, facial lymphatic massage and cupping, and a castor oil belly treatment to support circulation, promote detoxification, and leave your skin soft, smooth, and refreshed.

During Your Treatment

• Consultation: Your practitioner will begin with a short consultation to review your goals, explain the process, and ensure the treatment is right for you.

• Body Lymphatic Drainage: Using a natural dry brush, gentle sweeping motions help stimulate circulation and guide lymph fluids toward their natural drainage points. This not only supports detoxification but also prepares the skin for deep hydration. A nourishing lotion is then massaged in, leaving the skin silky and moisturized.

• Castor Oil Belly Treatment: A small amount of warm castor oil is applied to the belly button area and covered with a castor oil patch. Castor oil has traditionally been used to support digestion, ease bloating, and encourage lymphatic flow, making it a soothing complement to this treatment.

• Facial Lymphatic Drainage: The service continues with calming lymphatic massage of the décolleté and face. Facial cupping is then used to encourage lymph flow, reduce puffiness, and enhance skin radiance — all while delivering a calming, spa-like experience.

• Relaxation: Throughout the session, you’ll rest in a warm, serene environment designed to help you fully unwind.

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle but powerful treatment — most clients notice benefits right away, with cumulative results improving over time. After your session, you may experience:

• Immediate lightness and relaxation — a feeling of less heaviness or tension in the body.

• Reduced puffiness and bloating — especially in the face, under the eyes, and around the abdomen.

• Smoother, softer skin — thanks to dry brushing exfoliation and enhanced hydration.

• A brighter, more radiant complexion — facial cupping and massage help stimulate circulation.

• Improved digestion and abdominal comfort — supported by the castor oil belly treatment.

• Deeper relaxation and stress relief — from the calming, rhythmic flow of the treatment.

With regular sessions, results may also include:

• Improved lymphatic flow and detoxification

• More defined facial contours from reduced fluid retention

• Enhanced skin tone and glow

• Ongoing support for healthy digestion and circulation

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that is generally safe for most people. However, because it stimulates circulation and supports detoxification, there are a few situations where it may not be recommended.

Who Should Avoid or Consult Before Treatment

• Individuals with active infections, fever, or illness

• Those with congestive heart failure or serious cardiovascular conditions

• Clients with a history of blood clots (DVT, thrombosis, embolism)

• People with active cancer or undergoing cancer treatments (unless cleared by their oncologist)

• Pregnancy (facial lymphatic drainage may be safe, but body drainage and castor oil belly treatments are not recommended)

• Skin infections, open wounds, or active rashes in treatment areas

The frequency depends on your goals and lifestyle:

• For general wellness and relaxation: Once every 3–4 weeks is a great way to maintain circulation, support detox, and keep your skin smooth and glowing.

• For fluid retention, bloating, or sluggish lymph flow: Weekly sessions may provide faster relief and help you see more noticeable results.

• For ongoing skin and body benefits: Many clients choose a series of treatments (4–6 sessions) and then move into a monthly maintenance schedule.
