Yes. Prenatal MLD is safe when performed by a trained therapist. It can relieve swelling, ease discomfort, and promote relaxation. Sessions are always tailored to your stage of pregnancy.

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions varies depending on your needs. Post-surgery clients may benefit from several sessions in the first few weeks, while wellness and prenatal clients often schedule regular maintenance treatments.

Each session begins with a consultation to understand your needs. MLD involves gentle, rhythmic movements on the skin to stimulate lymph flow. You will remain comfortably draped and relaxed throughout.
