Hello! I’m Catherine, an experi­enced RMT based in Victoria, BC.

Lymphatic drainage doesn't directly cause weight loss – though social media images may suggest otherwise. These dramatic before-and-after photos often don't show the full recovery process, swelling reduction, and other treatments involved.

What can MLD do? Reduce fluid retention and improve circulation as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

Yes. Everyone has different pain tolerance, skin sensitivity, and health conditions that affect how massage feels. Some discomfort is normal when working on muscle tension, inflammation, sensitive areas, or when a nerve or other tissue is causing pain. You may feel slightly achy for a day or two afterward as your body releases tension.

Lymphatic drainage is gentle and typically causes no discomfort.

Good therapeutic discomfort feels like “hurts so good,” while sharp pain may mean the pressure is too intense. But with trigger point release, this is also a normal response. Just let me know - I'll adjust my pressure or technique.

Massage aims to helps with chronic tension, repetitive injuries, poor posture, and more in several ways:

• Reducing tissue tension: Massage techniques help relax restrictions in the connective tissue around your muscles, so everything can move more freely again.
• Resetting your muscles: The sustained pressure works with your body's natural sensors to help "reset" muscles that have gotten stuck in a chronically tight state.
• Breaking tension patterns: Massage activates special receptors in your tendons that tell your nervous system to let go of chronic muscle tension and holding patterns.
• Boosting blood flow: Better circulation helps your body clear out waste products that cause pain and stiffness, while reducing those painful knots and trigger points.

• Right Fit Clinic is wheelchair accessible.
• Brix Wellness Victoria is wheelchair accessible, however wheelchairs cannot fit into the treatment room.

The treatment is 60 minutes, and includes the face, neck, and scalp, with lymphatic and intra-oral components. If you prefer to skip the intra-oral massage, that's perfectly fine.

This is meant to be a restful, self-indulging treatment so that you can bliss out - we don't want to rush this experience! If you'd like to include additional areas like your back or shoulders, this treatment is adaptable or you can always book a longer session.
