Facial massage and manual lymphatic drainage (or MLD) are two different techniques working in different layers, for different outcomes. If you’d like to know more about the difference between facial massage and lymphatic drainage, read the full article here.
The Jaw Release
For the jaw clencher, teeth grinder, and TMJD sufferers.
This treatment uses a full body and nervous system approach to release jaw pain.
The experience begins with a guided breath work, rocking movement and a back massage to unlock emotional blockages, release tight fascia and regulate your nervous system.
The session continues with a neck, face and head massage to release the muscles involved in jaw pain before using advanced buccal massage techniques to release both emotional and physical tensions trapped in the jaw. Depending on the individual, manual lymphatic drainage according to Dr Vodder’s work might be applied if judged necessary.
Intra-oral work (or buccal massage) is used to release muscles that are not accessible from the outside face and therefore release deeper tensions in the jaw. However, this hour is fully yours to relax, reconnect to yourself and helping you to regulate your nervous system. If you do not wish to have buccal massage done as part of your jaw pain management, please do not hesitate to communicate this with us. There are definitely other methods that can be used to help you on your TMJD journey. Always remember that your wellbeing matters.

It is important to note that the jaw holds more than just muscles tensions. It is often a place where unexpressed emotions and stress are being held. Some client might experience tears, fatigue, or even laugh after a release! Taking the time to rest and staying hydrated after a session is important to keep the body safe and into a relaxing state.

The Lymphatic Reset
For the highly sensitive, exhausted face (and body) and those seeking to give a gentle reset to their lymphatic system, either to reduce water retention or simply boost their immune system.
This treatment uses the authentic, feather-like touch*, manual lymphatic drainage technique developed by Dr Vodder. Starting at the neck to open the exit pathway and making the full treatment as effective as possible, the session then continues with a full sequence on the face to reduce feeling of heaviness, skin inflammation, fluid retention and calm the autonomous nervous system. Near-infrared light therapy is then used on the face, to increase the benefits at reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing and cells renewal.
The session can then continue, with, depending on the individual’s need, either arms, abdomen or back manual lymphatic drainage.
This treatment is for you if you are suffering from: high levels of stress, burn out, anxiety, insomnia, eczema, psoriaris, acne, fluid retention, or as a pre-surgery plan. A course of 6 treatments over 3 to 6 weeks, and a maintenance session every 4 to 6 weeks is recommended to increase long lasting results.
A one-off treatment can be beneficial before undergoing IVF, a stressful event, after a long flight or to boost the immune system after recovering from a cold/flu.
*Please note this treatment is not a massage and does not involve any products. Manual lymphatic drainage is a skin-stretching technique that assist the body in processing excess storage of lymph in the body and increasing the speed at which it’s flowing through the body and therefore cannot involve muscle manipulation. If you are looking for a hybrid treatment that includes face and body work involving both muscles and lymph manipulation please book for our 90min The Ritual Lymph & Soul.

Under chronic stress the natural rhythm of the lymph flow becomes irregular and spasmodic and can be altered enough to slow down how the body clears, filters, and regulates. Most people won’t necessarily feel this as lymphatic dysfunction but in clinic we often see this perceived as a feeling of heaviness, slowness and puffiness.

The Sculpt
For the face massage lovers and those seeking a naturally sculpted face, as an alternative to botox and injections or in complement of them.
This treatment uses a combination of the famous Sculptural Face Lifting method, soft fascial release, intra-oral massage and traditional manual lymphatic drainage to naturally sculpt and lift facial contour, release facial tension and oxygenate the tissues for a more radiant skin.
The ritual starts with a facial oil cleanse followed by a hydrating mist, preparing the skin for a full decollete, neck and facial massage. Warm towels and skin support natural oils are used to close the ritual, leaving you completely renewed, sculpted and beautifully radiant.
Intra-oral work (or buccal massage) is used to release deeper tensions in the jaw and perfect the “sculpting” work. However, this hour is fully yours to relax and reconnect to yourself. If you do not wish to have buccal massage done as part of your beauty journey, please do not hesitate to communicate this with us. There are plenty of beautiful manual methods that can be used to help you achieve your most beautiful healthy sculpted look.
