Lymflow Integrative Session

A Lymflow Integrative Session is a gentle, lymphatic-focused treatment that may combine Dr. Vodder–based Manual Lymph Drainage, the Perrin Technique, and other hands-on approaches.

Techniques are chosen according to your health history, current needs, comfort, and how your body is presenting that day.

Rather than following one routine for every client, the session may focus on areas of fluid congestion, tissue restriction, breathing patterns, or signs that the nervous system needs a slower approach.

Who May Benefit?

This service may be appropriate for people experiencing:

Persistent swelling or feelings of fluid congestion
ME/CFS, long COVID, or other complex chronic conditions
Autoimmune conditions and a need for gentle supportive care
Ongoing stress or difficulty settling the nervous system
Recovery from illness or injury, with clearance when appropriate
A desire for gentle, restorative bodywork
General wellness and body maintenance

Depending on your needs, a session may include:

Manual Lymph Drainage
The Perrin Technique
Gentle work around the chest, abdomen, neck
Breathing-based techniques
Gentle manual therapy
Nervous-system-focused hands-on care
Not every technique is included in every session. The goal is to choose what is appropriate for your body that day.

The clinic itself is very calming and low stimulation. There is always an air purifier running in the room and Rachel wears a high-quality mask, so I feel safe being there even though I am immunocompromised. Her massage table lowers, so even when I was in my wheelchair, I could easily transfer onto it. The accessible entrance is at the back of the building up a fairly steep driveway (I felt fine going up backwards in my wheelchair with my feet on the ground for stability, but if you aren't ambulatory you might need to be dropped off at this back entrance). The building has an old elevator that is a bit difficult to navigate on your own with mobility aids, but Rachel always ran downstairs to help me with the elevator door, which is so kind! She even moves the door mat when I come in with a mobility aid so I don't have any obstacles to navigate over.

Rachel Wong has been providing great service ! Love how prior to our session she was able to have a zoom call and ask any questions. She is always available for any questions I might have as well. I did notice a HUGE difference after the first Appointment. I will continue coming. Thank you 😊

Rachel is knowledgeable about ME/CFS and warned me in advance that our first few sessions could cause some PEM. I didn't have a full crash, but did experience some PEM after our first 2 sessions, which she asked about and then adjusted the intensity of our sessions accordingly. After this initial adjustment period, I have not experienced any post-session PEM and instead have much more energy after I see her. I end each 30 minute session feeling like I have had the best 3 hour nap of my life. One of my concerns when we did our phone consultation was that I also have hEDS, so any kind of deep tissue massage can damage my joints, but all of the work Rachel does is extremely gentle and my joints feel even better afterwards.

If you're on the fence, please give Rachel a try. She has made the biggest difference in my life and is a joy to work with!

What Might I Notice After a Session?

Most clients tolerate Lymflow Integrative Sessions well. Because every person responds differently, some may temporarily experience fatigue, headache, mild nausea, or a need for additional rest after a session.

These responses are not the goal of treatment. Sessions are kept gentle and adjusted to your tolerance to reduce the risk of overstimulation.

Please contact me if you experience an unexpected or concerning response. New, severe, or persistent symptoms should be discussed with your medical provider.
