About Sheida
Three years later, with two little ones at home now, Sheida (Shay-da) is back at NLC for your lymphatic pampering care: general wellness, swelling, and her Glymph brain fog massage. Too many things to do, places to go, time flying by, waking up tired, repeating the cycle. Even in your down time you are so keyed up that it takes you a long time to let the tension go. That is what she hears again and again, and she sees what it does to a body. It isn't a good thing. Sheida is a re-set button. She will get your "old" self back in your body and your mind, and she knows where to find the kid in you. She knows how to remove layers of tension and stress, how to take you from tight to "alright!", how to get you breathing deeply and openly again. Holding your breath right now? Then you're worse off than she thought. Come right on in.

Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy (L.E.T.)
View treatment
Post-Surgical Lymphatic Massage
View treatmentSculpt & Flow — Body Gua Sha
Gua Sha and contouring massage together, to support drainage, reduce puffiness, and enhance body contours.
General Wellness Lymphatic Drainage
Massage that helps manage your swelling and bloat for the long term.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
(The Vogel Method)
Our flagship. Gentle, precise drainage to move fluid and reduce swelling.
Safety first. Lymphatic work is not right for everyone. We do not perform drainage on clients with AFib, COPD, emphysema, blood clots, or an active infection. Those are outside our scope of care, and severe or acute lymphedema can need a hospital lymphedema clinic with emergency care on site. We will guide you there if that is what your situation calls for.
