Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is one of the most gentle, yet profoundly therapeutic modalities I’ve learned as an RMT—and it’s quickly become one of my favourites to offer. The lymphatic system plays a vital role in fluid balance, immune function, and healing, yet it’s often overlooked in mainstream care.

Many people are actively seeking lymphatic therapy, whether they’re navigating chronic edema, recovering from surgery, or feeling the weight of inflammation in their bodies. Yet it can still be difficult to find qualified therapists who offer MLD in a way that’s skillful, intentional, and integrated.

This work can truly change how someone feels in their body. It’s incredible to see the shift that can happen when swelling decreases, pain eases, and the nervous system starts to relax. MLD pairs beautifully with my scar tissue work as well—supporting mobility, drainage, and longer-lasting results.

It’s not a dramatic technique—and that’s exactly the point. MLD works with the body, not against it, using subtle, skilled touch to support deep healing. That’s why I love it.

Scars are fascinating—each one is a unique imprint of healing. As a Registered Massage Therapist, I’m constantly amazed by how differently scar tissue can form and how deeply it can affect the body. No two scars are the same. Factors like injury type, surgical precision, personal healing responses, and even emotional stress all influence how a scar develops.

Scar tissue isn’t just about what we see on the surface. It can create tension in the fascia, restrict movement, and alter how we experience our own bodies. Through gentle, intentional touch and specialized techniques, I help clients reduce tightness, increase mobility, and reconnect with areas that may have felt disconnected or unfamiliar.

For many, treating a scar is more than cosmetic—it’s a step toward reclaiming comfort, function, and body confidence. That’s why I love this work. It’s a privilege to be part of someone’s healing journey, one layer at a time.

Many people are surprised to learn how common jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction are—and that it’s treatable with massage therapy.

As a registered massage therapist, I really enjoy working with patients who experience this kind of pain because targeted, hands-on treatment can offer real, lasting relief.

Jaw tension often shows up as headaches, ear pain, neck stiffness, clenching or grinding, and even disrupted sleep. Through massage therapy, we can address the muscles involved in jaw function—like the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoids—to reduce tension, improve mobility, and restore balance.

This work is precise, and deeply therapeutic. Whether your jaw pain is related to stress, posture, or past injury, it’s treatable—and you don’t have to live with it.

There’s something really special about working with clients during pregnancy and postpartum. It’s such a big shift—physically, emotionally, mentally—and being able to support people through it is something I feel deeply grateful for.

Massage in this season isn’t just about easing aches and pains (though that’s a big part of it). It’s about slowing down, creating space to breathe, and helping you feel more connected to your body.

Swipe through to read why this work means so much to me and if you’re navigating pregnancy or recovery, know you deserve care too. 💛
