Lymphatic drainage massage in San Francisco
Last updated October 17, 2026
This is the lightest work I do. The strokes are slow and rhythmic, just under the skin. I come to you in San Francisco and bring the table.
Session pricing
90 or 120 minutes
Sessions more than 15 miles away may include a travel fee. I'll let you know before you book.
In the session
What to expect
I don't press into the muscle. The lymph vessels are tiny and shallow, and they respond to a delicate, repeated rhythm. The pressure is so light it surprises people the first time. A lot of people fall asleep in the first ten minutes.
You book a 90- or 120-minute in-home session. Lymphatic drainage can be most of that time, or a part of it, depending on what you need.
Who I see
Who it's for
I use this after surgery and after illness, and when you're swollen or holding fluid. It's also what I pick when deeper work would be too much, including some chronic conditions. After training, I use a little of it inside a recovery session only when you're puffy, not when a joint is hot or you think you tore something.
If you're post-surgery or you have a medical condition, tell me before you book. Some situations need a doctor's OK first. I'll say so if this isn't the right fit.
Before you book
Questions
Why is the pressure so light?
The lymph vessels sit just under the skin. They're small. A slow, gentle rhythm moves them better than pressing into muscle. Many people fall asleep in the first ten minutes.
Who is lymphatic drainage for?
After surgery, after illness, and when you're swollen or retaining fluid. Also when deeper work would be too much. Tell me about surgery or a medical condition before you book.
Is this a medical treatment?
It's massage. If you're under a doctor's care, check with them first. I'll adapt the session, or I'll tell you if I should refer you out.
What does it cost?
90 minutes is $180. 120 minutes is $240. Sessions more than 15 miles away may include a travel fee. I'll let you know before you book.
