MLD sessions are performed by a Klose Institute–certified therapist using the advanced Vodder Method, a technique developed specifically to support the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays an important role in immune function and fluid balance, helping move excess fluid, filter waste from tissues, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Gentle, rhythmic strokes are used to stimulate lymph flow. MLD can be especially beneficial for individuals preparing for or recovering from surgery, those living with chronic swelling conditions, or clients who have had lymph nodes biopsied or removed. Clients also seek MLD for support with conditions such as migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and lipedema. The treatment often promotes deep relaxation and may help reduce pain.
After surgery, injury, lymph node biopsy/removal, or ongoing inflammation, your lymphatic system can become overloaded, leading to swelling, discomfort, and slower healing. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle soft-tissue technique that boosts lymph movement through both the superficial and deep lymph vessels, helping clear excess fluid and waste. This reduces edema, eases pain, and supports your body’s natural ability to recover.

Johanna GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa! She has so many wonderful qualities as a health professional: she's incredibly knowledgeable, professional, talented and effective. And she's personable, honest, and fun to spend time with. Working on health is quite personal and can be vulnerable and Lisa creates an atmosphere of ease and comfort. As a health professional myself, I respect and admire all of those qualities. I've sent clients to her and she has helped me personally. Within a few personal training sessions she resolved pain I had experienced for months, (even though I continued to do physical activities like gardening and heavy lifting that were aggravating). I'm so happy she's a part of my health care team! John FimpleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quite possibly the most thorough and impactful movement session I have ever had. Lisa's knowledge of how the body works is extremely impressive. I had L4/L5 surgery and she was able to help me flex and get into comfortably within minutes. A true professional who knows what she is talking about. Dianne STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa is so knowledgeable and well trained. She uses her education, training and experience in a very compassionate way. I can’t recommend her enough. Fany BortolinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa is an intuitive professional. She was able to listen to my body and provide what I needed. I came in with a stiff neck and severe low back pain. I finally found relief after working with Lisa. I highly recommend her. Tony MartinezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed Lisa's depth and breadth of experience. She has a wide range of modality expertise. It's amazing to have her perspective in which she can draw from so many different modalities to come up with the best integrated plan to move forward and heal. Mia CurranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa is a remarkably talented individual, well versus on biomechanics, a vast array of massage techniques and many other related disciplines! I went to her for a massage, and it was wonderful! My rotator cuff is 80% torn, so I am normally a tad concern since I do not want to aggravate the injury. Lisa’s level of expertise put me at ease because she truly grasps the nature of the injury and was able to work with it while still giving me a wonderful massage. It was exactly the right amount of pressure. My neck and shoulders were relaxed, and my body was no longer holding onto an overall tightness. Lisa’s space is beautiful, with gorgeous mountain views and birds singing in the background. I would highly recommend booking a massage with Lisa! You owe it to yourself to experience the difference of a highly specialized, experienced, licensed biomechanics professional! Mia Curran Molly BarfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best massage therapist I’ve ever worked with hands down! Julie STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa is excellent. She understands the body so well. We met via Zoom (based on a referral) since we are in different states and it still worked really well. She was able to inherently understand what may be causing problems for me and come up with ways to remedy these issues. You are in excellent hands with her. RaeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa comes with an extensive knowledge on the workings of the body. I saw her following a traumatic body injury and she instantly noticed any misalignments I had and supported with corrective exercises that meet my unique lifestyle. She brings in flexibility and joy to the process and an absolute pleasure to work with. Karrie BachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa's ability to listen, assess, and pull from her breadth of knowledge to help clients is impressive. She is not only my go-to when I'm rehabbing injuries or feeling out of balance, but she is also someone I trust completely with my patients. Every single person I've referred her way has benefitted from her patience, kindness, skill, and ability to identify and treat the root issues. Thank you, Lisa!
