Lymphatic facial in South Berkeley.
You wake up and your face looks heavier than it feels. Often that puffiness is fluid that has not moved well, and the same gentle work also helps sinus, ear, and jaw congestion. Facial Care is my complete lymphatic facial, once a month at a time held just for you, plus Vodder drainage wherever your body needs it. It is the only way I offer my lymphatic facial.
90 minutes The complete lymphatic facial plus Vodder drainage $250 a month, or $212.50 a visit prepaid No contract
New to me?
Start with a free 15-minute call. Tell me what your face is doing, and I’ll help you decide whether to start with Facial Care or with focused drainage.
Already my client?
Ask me at your next visit, or join right here and we’ll set your standing time together.
Is this you?
Your sinuses, ears and jaw share drainage pathways with the puffiness under your eyes, so I often work with them in the same appointment.
You wake up puffy
Under the eyes, along the jaw, one side more than the other. Gentle lymph work gives that fluid somewhere to go.
Your sinuses or ears feel full
They drain through the same pathways as your face, and they respond to the same gentle work.
Your week lives in your jaw
Stress lands in the face, neck and shoulders. With a monthly visit, it never gets the chance to settle in.
Your skin looks tired
A careful cleanse, a gentle enzyme and a mask chosen for what your skin needs that month.
You are on camera
Zoom calls, client meetings, YouTube, a podcast. You would rather look rested than haggard, mostly for your own confidence.
You just want to feel good
No special reason required. A time each month that is entirely yours.
Lymphatic facial, or drainage first?
If you are well and want your face to feel less puffy, the lymphatic facial is probably right. If you recently had facial surgery, or you have long-term sinus problems and we have not met, I may want to begin with focused drainage of the head, face, and neck. I need to get the drainage routes moving before I add the full facial.
If you are not sure, set up the free call. I would rather point you to the right service than have you pay for the wrong one.
Your 90 minutes
Your lymphatic facial gets all the time it needs, every month. The rest of your visit goes to Vodder drainage wherever your body is holding on that month: legs, belly, arms or back.
Arrive
A cup of herbal tea while you tell me about your month: how you have slept, what your skin is doing, what is coming up. Then a little gentle drainage at the neck to help you let go.
Cleanse
A careful cleanse and a proper look at your skin. If there are one or two easy blackheads, I may remove them, but this is not an extraction facial. A gentle papaya enzyme instead of harsh acids, then a second cleanse. Then deeper massage for the face, neck and shoulders.
The mask
A serum chosen for what your skin needs that month, then an alginate mask that goes on cool and creamy, sets, and lifts away in one piece. While it sets, I work your arms, neck and shoulders.
The lymph work
Skin clean and clear, the focused lymphatic work begins: under the eyes, along the jaw, around the sinuses, wherever your face is holding on. Finished with eye cream and moisturizer.
Your body
Back to Vodder drainage, wherever you need it most that month. Slow, light and rhythmic, the part where most people drift off.
Return
A slow scalp massage to bring you back. You sit up when you are ready, looking rested and feeling like yourself.
Comfort is always considered.
It shows on your face. You feel it everywhere else.
Stress shows up on your face first. Everything we carry, from the world, from work, from life, lands somewhere. It affects your gut, your thinking and how you feel, and then it shows on your face.
This isn’t pampering. It’s a real reset.
Slow, gentle lymph work helps your body come down out of stress mode, and your face gets to show it.
How you look
The puffiness that settles under your eyes and along your jaw finally has somewhere to go. Your skin is cleansed, fed and finished properly. The face in the mirror looks like you on a very good day, not you after a long week.
How you feel
The light, slow rhythm of Vodder work moves your body out of bracing and into rest. Your shoulders come down. Your breathing gets longer. Most people are asleep within minutes, and wake up feeling lighter in a way that is hard to describe until you have felt it.
How you show up
Calmer, clearer, more patient, more yourself. The version of you who walks into the meeting, the dinner, the photo, the hard conversation, already steady instead of running on empty.
What this is not
It is not a treatment for skin conditions
This is not acne treatment or dermatology care.
It is not permanent
Sleep, salt, hormones, stress, and your health all affect how much fluid returns.
It is not right immediately after surgery
You may need focused drainage instead of a facial. I will help you choose.
It will not change your face
It moves fluid. It does not lift, fill, or change the structure of your face.
The membership
Generous, simple, and easy to leave. I offer my lymphatic facial only monthly, because that is what gives you real results: one facial fades in days.

The glow does not keep. Your life does not pause. It is always easier to stay ahead than to catch up, and there is always something coming: the holidays, a wedding, the trip, the photos, a big week at work, a first date, or a Tuesday you just want to feel good on.
For established clients. If we have not worked together yet, start with a free 15-minute call and a first visit. Most people join at a visit, so you can also just ask me before you leave.

Good questions
Can I book a lymphatic facial on its own?
No. My lymphatic facial is only offered through Facial Care, monthly or prepaid three months at a time.
What is the difference between a lymphatic facial and a regular facial?
A regular facial focuses on the skin. This includes skincare and adds focused lymphatic work for the face and neck. Moving fluid is the part that may make your face look less puffy by the end.
Can it help my sinuses?
Often, yes. Sinus congestion, blocked-feeling ears, and jaw tension sit in the same drainage area as facial puffiness, which surprises a lot of people.
Can I have one after a facelift?
Eventually, but probably not right away. Early in recovery you may need focused face and neck drainage instead. Set up a call and I will help you choose the right service.
How long does the effect last?
It varies. The change may last days or longer, depending on sleep, salt, hormones, stress, and your health. It is not permanent.
Do you use acids or strong exfoliants?
No. I use a gentle papaya enzyme instead of strong acids for this service.
What happens at each monthly visit?
Your complete lymphatic facial first, with all the time it needs, then Vodder lymphatic drainage wherever your body needs it most that month. It is booked in my 90-minute slot, so plan for about that.
Who can join?
Established clients. If we have not worked together yet, start with a free 15-minute phone call and a first visit, and we will take it from there.
How do I join?
Most people join at a visit: just ask me before you leave. You can also join right here, monthly or prepaid three months, and then we set your standing time together.
What if I am away one month?
Tell me at least seven days before your billing date and I will pause that month. You are not charged, and nothing piles up. A month you do not use does not roll over, so pausing ahead of time is the way to skip one.
How do I end my membership?
Let me know at least seven days before your next billing date and the monthly charge stops. There is no fee, and you keep the month you have already paid for. Moving a single appointment is a different thing: just let me know.
Does it renew automatically?
Yes, on the same date each month, or every three months if you prepay. You will always know that date, and the seven-day notice is counted back from it.
How much does prepaying save?
Prepay three months at a time and save 15%: $637.50 instead of $750, which works out to $212.50 a visit.
Can I give a visit to a friend?
Yes. Each visit is yours to use or to give to someone you love. A monthly visit is used within that month, and prepaid visits within your three months, so nothing sits forgotten in a drawer. Your friend starts with a free phone call with me, the way every new client does.
Tell me what your face is doing.
Set up a free 15-minute call and tell me what you are noticing in your face, sinuses, ears, or jaw. I will help you decide whether to start with Facial Care or with focused drainage.
