What this experience feels like
Lymphatic drainage is meditative and surprisingly restful. The strokes are light and rhythmic, gently encouraging your body's natural lymphatic flow.
Most guests are surprised by how deeply calming such gentle work feels — and how noticeably they feel afterward.

Before & after your session
Small choices before and after your session make the work land deeper — here's what our therapists recommend.
Before you arrive
- Hydrate
- Drink a full glass of water in the hour before your session. Well-hydrated tissue responds more quickly and holds the work longer.
- Eat lightly
- Avoid a heavy meal in the two hours beforehand. A small snack is perfect.
- Arrive a few minutes early
- Give yourself 5–10 minutes to settle. We'll offer tea and walk you through anything new.
- Come as you are
- No pre-session shower required — but we have a private guest bathroom if you'd like to freshen up after a hike.
After your session
- Sip water through the day
- Bodywork gently mobilises tissue. Steady hydration helps you feel your best the next morning.
- Move gently, not intensely
- A slow walk, a soak, or a stretch is beautiful. Save the hard workout for the day after.
- Notice, don't chase
- Most guests feel the deepest calm 6–12 hours later. Let the session keep unfolding.
- Rebook while it's fresh
- Guests who book their next session before leaving the studio maintain the benefit longest.

Hot stone accents
Warm basalt stones eased along the back and shoulders to soften tension before your therapist works deeper.
Scalp & neck focus

Add a mini-facial
A shortened Eminence Organic facial layered onto your massage — glow-giving and deeply calming.
