Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic system is made up of lymphocytes which contain a mixture of proteins, water, waste products and immure-response elements. This lymphatic fluid is processed by lymph nodes which are located in the neck, groin, underarm, elbows and posterior knees. The Sheila Perez method utilises this system and focuses on massaging the body to promote the turnover of this fluid, while releasing the tissue surrounding these lymph nodes vigorously.

After a Sheila Perez treatment, you should expect to feel energised, lighter more toned and potentially thirsty. These changes can last for days and or weeks depending on a level your activity. It is recommended to have a treatment at least once a month, allowing a minimum of 5 days between treatments to allow the body time to recover.
After Kathleen had her first treatment during her training, she instantly became obsessed with this treatment style and cannot wait to perform this technique on all her clients.
