What does a lymphatic massage feel like?

It feels soft, slow and steady. Lymphatic massage uses light, rhythmic, repeating strokes rather than deep pressure. Most guests describe leaving lighter.

Your lymphatic system sits just under the skin, so the work stays gentle and unhurried. It is closer to a long exhale than a workout.

Is lymphatic massage the same as deep tissue?

No. The pressure is deliberately very light. If you want focused work on knots and tight muscles, a licensed massage with Keri is the better fit, and she can help you choose.

Who books a lymphatic massage?

It is a popular choice for guests who feel puffy, heavy or sluggish. People also book it for gentle recovery days, or when they want bodywork without the intensity of deep tissue.

What happens during a session at Exhale?

You start with a short check-in about how you are feeling and what you want from the session. Then come light, rhythmic strokes that follow the natural flow of your lymphatic system. Water and tea are waiting for you afterward.

If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or have any other health concerns, check with your doctor before you book.
