The Vodder Method

This is NOT a massage! But, it is an incredibly relaxing treatment with multiple health benefits.

The aim of Manual Lymphatic Drainage is to decongest certain areas as well as promote the optimal functioning of the lymphatic system.

It is effective in detoxifying the body and improving skin tone. It can also reduce fluid retention in limbs as well as on the face. In some cases this can have a slimming effect.
