MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

VODDER METHOD®

A gentle treatment to support healthy lymphatic flow.

Your lymphatic system is constantly moving fluid through your tissues and helping maintain fluid balance throughout the body.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic and intentional technique that follows the natural pathways of the lymphatic system to encourage fluid movement and support lymphatic function.

It is very different from traditional massage. There is no need for deep pressure or force.

At Embody, we work with your body, not against it.

YOUR TREATMENT

60 MIN — $160

A focused treatment working primarily through the front of the body.

A good option if you're looking for general lymphatic support, experiencing puffiness or fluid retention, or have a particular area you'd like to address.

90 MIN — $230

A more comprehensive treatment allowing time to work through both the front and back of the body.

90 minutes is recommended when you'd like a more complete treatment or have more widespread concerns.

WHO IS MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FOR?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage can be a beautiful option if you're experiencing:

Puffiness or fluid retention
A feeling of heaviness or fullness
Mild swelling
Tired or heavy-feeling limbs
Everyday fluid congestion
Puffiness after travel
A body that feels generally heavy or sluggish
A desire for gentle, rhythmic bodywork

It can also simply be a lovely treatment when you don't want deep pressure and your body is asking for something slower.

LIPOEDEMA, LYMPHOEDEMA OR POST-OPERATIVE RECOVERY?

If you have lipoedema, lymphoedema, known lymphatic dysfunction or are recovering from surgery, I recommend looking at the dedicated treatments available at Embody.

These treatments allow for a more individualised approach based on your condition, history and current needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your appointment begins with a conversation about how you're feeling and what you'd like support with.

The treatment itself uses light, rhythmic and precise movements through the skin and superficial tissues.

You won't experience the deep pressure associated with remedial massage.

Instead, the techniques follow the pathways of the lymphatic system and are designed to encourage gentle fluid movement.

You may find the treatment deeply relaxing, while still feeling purposeful and therapeutic.

SUPPORTING YOUR BODY'S NATURAL FLOW

Your lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes and tissues that moves fluid throughout the body.

Unlike the cardiovascular system, lymphatic flow doesn't rely on one central pump. Breathing, movement and the natural movement of surrounding tissues all contribute to lymphatic flow.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses specific, rhythmic techniques to work with these natural pathways and encourage fluid movement.

It isn't about forcing fluid through the body.

It's about creating the right conditions for movement.

WHY VODDER METHOD®?

The Vodder Method® is a specific approach to Manual Lymphatic Drainage developed around the natural anatomy and pathways of the lymphatic system.

The techniques are gentle, precise and rhythmic rather than forceful.

I've completed Manual Lymphatic Drainage — Vodder Method® Level 1 & Level 2, with further training in lipoedema, lymphoedema and compromised lymphatic systems.

AT EMBODY, WE SLOW DOWN

I want your treatment to feel like a big exhale.

You don't need to arrive relaxed.

You don't need to know exactly what your body needs.

We'll have a conversation, I'll listen to what's happening and we'll take it from there.

60 OR 90 MINUTES?

60 MINUTES — $160

Choose 60 minutes for focused lymphatic care, general puffiness or fluid retention, or when you'd like a shorter introduction to Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

90 MINUTES — $230

Choose 90 minutes when you'd like more comprehensive work through the front and back of the body or have more widespread concerns.

WHEN IN DOUBT, I RECOMMEND 90 MINUTES.
