BRAZILIAN LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Slow, light strokes towards the lymph nodes, to help the body move the fluid that has settled. 60 minutes, R$ 250, and I come to wherever you are.

Drainage is not a pressure massage. The touch is light and the movement is slow, always towards the lymph nodes, because that is the route the fluid takes to leave. A session runs 60 minutes.
If an area is tender, tell me during the session and I adjust the touch there. Working fast or hard does not make drainage more effective.
Outside Brazil this is often called Brazilian lymphatic drainage. It is the same work: manual, slow, and without machines.
The date drainage can start after an operation is not my decision, and it is not one rule I apply to everyone: the surgeon or doctor who looked after you is the one who clears it. The same goes for how many sessions make sense.
In our first conversation I ask what you were told at the follow-up appointment, and we book from there. I wrote about that period in more detail in the article on lymphatic drainage after surgery.
I work at your home, and also in hospitals and clinics. Where massage is not advisable for a medical condition, I only work with a signed medical clearance. After surgery I start from seven days, also with signed medical authorisation. If it helps, forward this page to whoever is looking after you.
Swollen ankles after ten hours in a seat are one of the most common reasons people message me in their first days in Rio. Heavy legs at the end of a hot day are the other. I wrote about both in swollen legs after a long flight.
Swelling on one side only, with calf pain, redness or a fever, is a reason to see a doctor before booking any massage.
Both already include the trip to your address. The full list is on the services and prices page.
Cash or Pix. A 50% deposit confirms the appointment; the rest is paid at the end of the session.
COMMON QUESTIONS
When the surgeon or doctor who looked after you clears it. That clearance sets the date, not my calendar.

No. They are different sessions at different prices: lymphatic drainage is 60 minutes for R$ 250, drainage plus contouring is 60 minutes for R$ 350.
Yes. I also come to hotels and holiday apartments in the Zona Sul — the front desk just needs to be told in advance.
Both. I work at your home, and also in hospitals and clinics. When we set the date, tell me where you will be that day.
