Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist in Colorado Springs

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic technique that:

  • Stimulates your lymphatic system for detoxification, immune function, and fluid balance

  • Reduces swelling and improves circulation

  • Promotes overall wellness

I practice therapeutic MLD rooted in the Vodder method, which is effective for:

  • Post-surgical recovery

  • Chronic swelling

  • Immune system support

Note: Results from MLD may take multiple sessions to fully materialize. Consistency is key for long-term improvements.

“Her technique is outstanding. I was recommended by my doctor to do lymphatic massages after my surgery. Every doctor’s visit I was told my recovery was progressing amazingly. I owe it to Laura. It’s clear she has deep understanding of the craft and I feel so much better after each session. "
