Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage using the Vodder technique is a gentle, rhythmic, and highly specialised form of massage that helps to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, reduce swelling, and support the body’s natural detox and healing processes.

Developed by Dr. Emil Vodder, this method uses precise, light, and sweeping movements that follow the direction of lymph flow. It’s deeply relaxing while also promoting:

  • Reduction of puffiness and fluid retention

  • Enhanced recovery following surgery or injury

  • Relief from feelings of heaviness or tightness in the body

  • A general sense of calm and wellbeing

Whether you’re seeking post-operative support, relief from swelling, or simply a soothing and restorative treatment, Vodder MLD offers a therapeutic experience that helps you feel lighter, clearer, and more balanced — both physically and mentally.

👉 Book your MLD session and experience the benefits of the renowned Vodder technique.

A rejuvenating treatment that releases tension in the face, neck and jaw using slow, firm techniques. It helps to improve circulation, ease tight muscles and lift the skin for a healthy glow. Leaving you feeling relaxed, refreshed and restored.

Scar Treatment Therapy

Backed by experience in midwifery, public health nursing, and specialist training with leading scar therapist Hannah Poulton, I offer targeted treatment for caesarean and abdominal scars.

I’ve supported women from the immediate postnatal period all the way through to five years after birth, allowing me to understand both the short- and long-term impact of scar tissue.

Scar therapy can help with:

  • Tightness

  • Pulling sensations

  • Restricted movement

  • Discomfort during exercise

  • Confidence and body awareness

Using evidence-based techniques — including scar massage and silicone for early healing — we can help your scar soften, move better, and feel more comfortable.

It’s never too early or too late to start improving your scar.

Silicone is often considered the gold standard in scar treatment, but what actually makes it so effective? Silicone creates a gentle barrier over your scar, slowing moisture loss so the skin can reabsorb it. This helps keep the scar soft, hydrated,
Every birth is different. Every scar is different. And we should never compare ourselves to anyone else. I’ve never seen the same scar twice, each one is as unique as the person it belongs to. Scars can be raised, flat, red, brown or white. T
