our Lymphatic System helps to rid the body of toxins, waste, and unwanted materials. It’s most important function is to move lymph - a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells- throughout the body. At times, your body can produce excess fluids and cause its system to swell up, slowing down its rate of circulating lymph efficiently.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage is a gentle treatment that encourages detoxification by moving our lymph fluid. This relieves swelling and brings your Lymphatic System back to its optimal circulatory balance. By stimulating our lymphatic system we decrease inflammation, improve lymphatic circulation and release toxins.

MLD can help with headaches, fibromyalgia, lymphedema, fatigue, insomnia, stress, digestive problems, arthritis and more.

*This service is covered under Registered Massage Therapy

For Post Surgery Patients:

Manual Lymph Drainage is often a necessary component of healing after surgical procedures. In the 4-6 weeks following a surgery, we recommend working with a Certified Decongestive Therapist (CDT) for the most specialized lymphatic care.

We would love to work with you after those 4-6 weeks to provide ongoing lymphatic system support.

Heidi graduated with honours from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2011 and provides the most effective treatment possible by incorporating MPS Therapy and Stamina alignment techniques into her practice. MPS Therapy is based out of Traditional Chinese Medicine but does NOT use any needles, instead hand-held microcurrent units are used to communicate with the body through acupuncture points and protocols addressing a wide variety of conditions. Visceral Manipulation Therapy is also used, focusing on both the function of the internal organs and how they interact with the neighbouring organs by releasing adhesions and restrictions.

Heidi incorporates additional techniques she’s attained through certificates in Cranial Sacral Therapy levels l & ll, Visceral Manipulation (internal organ specific assessment & treatment), Kinesio Taping, and Reiki. She supports a wide range of conditions such as stress, anxiety, long standing chronic pain, recent injuries, rehabilitation, treatment of both old and recent scars, post surgical and preparatory optimization of tissues before surgery, head trauma, and increasing strength and stability of muscles and joints so you can live your best life.

Your first session with Heidi will be more weighted on the side of assessment. Often half to three-quarters of this first appointment will include a discussion of your health history, self care instructions and a thorough explanation of what to expect before you get onto the table for treatment. At least 15 minutes of treatment will be allotted for this first session. If a 90 minute session is booked for your first visit with Heidi, 30-60 minutes may be receiving treatment. Transparently offering information about the benefits of each available modality is essential so that the client feels empowered and may give informed consent. Once a treatment plan has been agreed upon, subsequent treatments with Heidi will have a shorter time for re-assessment, often taking only 5 to 10 minutes.

It is her expertise in Western and Eastern philosophies combined with the significance of the mind-body connection that make Massage Therapy with Heidi such a unique and comprehensive experience. Come see for yourself how her distinctive approach can help accelerate your health and overall sense of well being.
