"I have received hundreds of massages from therapists all over the world, and no one matches the energy, intuition, passion and natural ability Nala has. She is my favorite Massage Therapist hands down." "I love the feel of her studio. Nala is very sweet & very thorough. I came for a lymphatic massage for post surgery. I definitely felt better after."

"I have been able to decrease my pain medicine by 90% since receiving massages on a regular basis from Nala." "Of the 20 massages that Nala has given me, no two have been exactly the same.

We feel blessed to have found her." "She is very attentive to my needs and works very specifically on my problem areas. When I leave her I always go out feeling much better than when I went in!

The only complaint that I have is that I didn't find her earlier!! Great massages. Highly recommended!" "Nala was amazing!

Very experienced and competent in a warm, professional setting. She had a sound knowledge of the anatomy."
“Nala is amazing. Great communication and professionalism. Her expertise in lymph drainage is exactly what I was looking for. After several major surgeries I was desperately looking for a lymphatic massage therapist and I found Nala on google and immediately booked a 120 minute session. My 2 hour session was incredible! Nala moved so much fluid out of my body during the session and I’m still releasing fluids at home. I signed up for weekly 2 hour sessions because Nala is the BEST! Thank you Nala!” Stephanie J.
“I highly recommend Miss Nala for her expertise and truly feeling hands. I have had many massages internationally but rank her among the highest qualified and actually the Best. I have enjoyed Miss Nala’s helpful and relaxing massages over several years.” Hannelore P.
Truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Nala is super friendly & knowledgeable. She gave me a lot of insight and advice on how to treat my swellings and even referred me to a reputable lymphatic compression supply company for my new wraps. She's the best there is out there and the only therapist that's certified in lymphatic drainage massage!!”

“Nala’s place was very welcoming, peaceful and comfortable. She was very knowledgeable with the lymphatic massage, she took her time and worked on all the concerned areas. I left feeling less stiff, and I could feel the blood circulating through my body. I was sore a few hours later, and through the rest of the evening, as I expected. But, I slept very well, and woke feeling great! Thanks Nala!”

Rebecca M.
“I started going to Nala a year ago for lymphatic massage post-surgery. I was so impressed with her skills and professionalism that those eventually turned into deep tissue massages after I healed. Her massage table is the most comfy one I've ever been on, and the atmosphere is calming and relaxing.I almost don't want to post this review because I don't want her to be too busy (so she has more open slots for me). Haha!I have bought quite a few of the "buy 4, get the 5th free packages". Nala never disappoints and I will continue to schedule with her until one of us moves away. Nala, you're not allowed to ever move away! I would have to follow you.”
Laura S.
“I love Nala and what she has been able to do help me heal after explant with lymphatic massages. She is very knowledgeable and her studio is beautiful, clean and peaceful. I hate it when it coming to the end of the session because I don't want it to end!”

Lymphatic Massage and Wound Healing
Client Testimonials
Here’s what my clients are saying:
How Can Lymphatic Massage Help With Wound Healing?
Difficulty in healing chronic wounds is often associated with regional or localized edema. Excess edema reduces that amount of nutrients that get transported to the damaged area and reduces the rate at which wastes and dead cell particles are removed from the region. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) have been found to be an effective treatment for accelerating healing of chronic wounds.
MLD increases lymphatic flow to up to 10 times normal levels during a session tapering off to normal levels after approximately 24 – 36 hours. This accelerated lymph flow reduces regional and local edema thereby increasing the rate of healing.
Lymphatic Therapy alleviates numerous conditions related to physical trauma, including swelling, pain, and lymphedema. Lymphatic massage supports the body in clearing lymph congestion, reducing swelling and fluid retention from trauma, surgery or lymphedema, enhancing wound healing, increasing oxygen delivery to the cells, minimizing scar tissue build up. reducing fibrocystic conditions, promoting collagen fiber production, and promoting overall wellness.
The Importance of Lymphatic Health and Wound Healing
Chronic wounds are a complication of several diseases or conditions, such as diabetes, chronic venous insufficiency, poor circulation, mechanical pressure, or a weakened immune system. Recent studies have shown that the regeneration of lymphatic vessels plays an important role in wound healing.
Lymphatic Massage moves congested or stagnant lymphatic fluid that builds around surgery and incision sites. By moving this congested fluid, lymphatic massage helps to enhance the circulation and flow of congested cellular matter – often excess blood from surgeries.
Lymphatic drainage therapy also can provide relief from chronic inflammation and pre- and post-surgical applications, and can be used for cosmetic applications, such as mastoptosis, scars and traumas.
Due to the effectiveness of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) in accelerating lymph flow there are a number of health concerns that do not allow individuals to receive MLD. If you are experiencing any of the following situations please discuss these with a therapist prior to receiving any treatment: Untreated malignant diseases, recent thrombosis, cardiac insufficiency, or renal failure.
