You might notice some red or purple shading after your treatment, this is called “sha” and it’s totally normal. It’s simply a sign that your body is releasing tension and improving circulation in that area. 💆‍♀️

The marks are temporary and usually fade within a few days 🌿

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) can play a key role in a smooth and efficient recovery, but timing and proper planning are essential.

🗓️ When to start: MLD should typically begin 48 hours to one week post-surgery, with your surgeon’s written approval. Starting too early may disrupt the initial healing process.

🩺 Compression garments: Consistent use of the prescribed compression garments helps manage swelling and supports proper tissue retraction.

📍 Follow-up matters: Regular post-op check-ins with your surgeon are important to monitor healing and adjust your MLD protocol as needed.

When integrated into a well-structured recovery plan, MLD can significantly improve comfort, reduce swelling, and help you return to daily activities sooner—while supporting your results.

Ageing is natural, but how we age is up to us. 🌿

Ayurveda teaches that when we support the body through daily rituals, balanced nutrition, and mindful movement, we can slow down the ageing process in a meaningful way.

It’s not about looking young, it’s about feeling vibrant, clear-headed, and strong for years to come.

Healthy skin, steady energy, and graceful ageing are just the results of taking care of yourself from the inside out.

🌿 An Ayurvedic tip for supporting digestion 🌿

One of the easiest—and perhaps most unexpected—ways to support your digestion is by choosing warm or hot water instead of cold.

It might sound unusual, especially in the middle of summer when icy drinks feel so refreshing. But in Ayurveda, your digestive system is viewed as a fire (Agni).

When you pour something cold over a fire, what happens? It weakens or dampens it. The same principle applies to your digestion: cold or iced water can reduce your digestive capacity, while warm water helps keep that inner fire steady and strong.

Sipping warm or hot water throughout the day is a simple, gentle way to support healthy digestion and overall well‑being. 🌞✨

Step into calm. 🪷

During this deeply relaxing treatment, you’ll remain seated and comfortably covered while gentle, flowing strokes begin across your shoulders and upper back, melting away tension.

The massage then moves through your arms, neck, face, scalp, ears and temples, using soothing circular motions, gentle stretches, and pressure techniques to release tightness and boost circulation.

Many clients drift into a meditative state as stress dissolves and emotional balance is restored. 💆‍♀️💫 Sessions last around 45 minutes.

Ever wondered what happens during a Gua Sha Body Massage? ✨

After a quick chat about how you’re feeling, your skin is gently oiled so the Gua Sha tool can glide smoothly without pulling.

Using long, flowing strokes, I work across areas like your back, neck, shoulders and limbs, blending it naturally into the rhythm of your massage. 🌿

You might feel warmth, see light markings, or notice a beautiful sense of release as we go. While it can look intense, most people find it deeply soothing and calm-inducing.

Each session lasts about 60 minutes, with time to settle before and after — so you leave feeling steady, grounded, and completely unhurried.

Facial Marma Points: Where Energy and Anatomy Meet ✨

Marma points are where two or more types of tissue meet—like muscles, bones, veins, ligaments, or joints. On the face, they often lie where muscles and nerves, soft tissue and veins, or tendons and bones come together.

Gently massaging these points helps open the Nadis (energy channels), allowing prana (life force) to flow more freely. 🌿 This supports the body’s natural healing, releases tension, and restores balance.

Benefits of facial marma massage:

💧Releases tension in the facial muscles and jaw – softens expression lines and emotional holding patterns

💧Improves circulation and lymphatic flow – promotes a healthy glow and supports natural detoxification

💧Enhances pranic flow and clarity of mind

💧Calms the nervous system – deeply relaxing and grounding, helps relieve stress and anxiety
