60-Minute Postpartum Lymphatic

Service Description

Price shown is the full price of the session. Tips are never expected. A travel fee applies beyond a 15 minute drive of Kinnelon; the fees are listed at the end of this description. After delivery, your body is processing one of the most dramatic fluid shifts it will ever experience. Blood volume drops, hormones plummet, and your lymphatic system is working overtime to manage the transition. The result is swelling, puffiness, fluid retention, heaviness, and a body that feels like it belongs to someone else. Postpartum lymphatic drainage uses gentle, Vodder-style MLD to help your body process and release the excess fluid that accumulates after birth. This isn't a relaxation massage with some lymphatic movements mixed in. This is focused, clinical lymphatic drainage adapted specifically for the postpartum body. For vaginal deliveries, sessions can begin as soon as you feel ready. For C-section moms, I work around the incision site (not on it) and focus on the fluid retention, abdominal swelling, and compensatory tension patterns that develop while your core is healing. Once your incision has healed (typically 6+ weeks with physician clearance), we can begin gentle scar tissue work if appropriate. Most new moms notice visible de-puffing and a significant reduction in heaviness after their first session. Your body did something extraordinary. Let it recover with support. This session comes to you. I bring the table, fresh linens, and everything else; you provide a quiet room with roughly seven by ten feet of clear floor and a door that closes. Travel is included within a 15-minute drive of Kinnelon. From 15 to 30 minutes, a $25 travel fee is added. From 30 to 45 minutes, the fee is $50 and sessions are booked at 90 minutes or longer. Beyond 45 minutes, the fee is $75, also with a 90-minute minimum, and I confirm availability before you book. Drive times are figured with typical traffic.
