What is
Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
​
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle massage technique designed to support and stimulate the body’s lymphatic system. By encouraging the natural flow of lymph fluid, MLD helps to detoxify the body, reduce swelling and inflammation, and support the immune system. It’s highly beneficial for managing fluid retention, post-surgical recovery, lymphedema, and general bloating or puffiness.
​
MLD also promotes tissue regeneration, reduces scar formation, and can accelerate healing after cosmetic or medical procedures. Beyond the physical benefits, it has a deeply calming effect on the nervous system, making it an excellent treatment for stress, fatigue, and burnout.
​
Whether you're looking to support recovery, manage a health condition, or simply feel lighter and more relaxed, MLD offers a gentle but powerful reset for your body.

As the proud owner of a bustling fitness studio, my body faces a lot of demands. Between the intense physical workouts and long hours at my desk, I needed a solution that could address it all. Jo has a fantastic knack for understanding exactly what my body needs, often even before I do!
When you come across a fantastic massage therapist like Jo, it's hard to keep it a secret. That's why we're more than happy to spread the word to everyone we know. We highly recommend Jo's expertise and approach!"
- Jude Leibel, She Just Did It Fitness
Have been seeing Jo for a while now and cannot be happier with the treatments I receive. You actually feel as though she listens to what you have to say before attempting any form of treatment. And she seems to always find the spot that is causing the pain.
Her genuine care and detail for attention have helped me significantly and I always leave satisfied and well enough to continue my regular activities.

Client Testimonials
Jo is an excellent remedial massage therapist and is able to adapt the treatment to whatever need you have on any given day. She has lots of experience which is evident in the work she does.
I have been lucky enough to come to Jo for over 7 years now both in our city office, and now out in a regional office. It is such a great convenience being able to take a break from work to have a massage, as it is otherwise tricky to fit it into your day! What a treat.
I’ve had different styles of massages including remedial and relaxation, and also seen Jo when I have had a particular ailment (injured shoulder, or even just headaches from a wonky sleep) – which she has worked on, explained some of the science behind it, and helped ease.
And to top if off, she is a lovely person – friendly and professional, and makes you feal at ease (even if that does sometimes involve a little bit of pain!). Couldn’t recommend her more highly.
- Lauren Bowden, Victoria Legal Aid
Truly a wonderful pre-natal remedial massage experience. Joanne has both a skilled and intuitive approach to her practice and was able to provide me with immediate relief from the aches and pains that often come with being pregnant. She has magic hands! She applied the perfect amount of pressure and made me comfortable and relaxed. I didn't want it to end and I will definitely rebook. Her pricing was incredibly reasonable which makes what can seem like an unaffordable luxury seem possible during this climate.
- Michelle Glowacki
I've had the pleasure of being Jo's client for the past 9 years, and I can confidently say that she is a true miracle worker. Jo's expertise in remedial massage is nothing short of incredible. She not only has a deep understanding of her craft but also an innate ability to pinpoint and alleviate any physical issues I've encountered over the years.
In fact, Jo is so good at what she does that I've learned my lesson the hard way—instead of waiting until I'm in dire need of relief, I now make it a regular practice to see Jo. Her professionalism is unwavering, and I'm always met with a welcoming and caring attitude.
With Jo, it's not just about providing a massage; it's about the art of healing and well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Jo to anyone seeking a dedicated and highly skilled remedial masseuse who truly knows her job. She's been an invaluable part of my journey to better health and physical comfort.
- Linh Nguyen
There are the average run of the mill massage therapists, and then there is Jo whose healing hands always know where to go with the perfect amount of pressure. I've travelled the world and had many massages in many different places, Jo's intuitive touch is the best I've come across.
She is not satisfied herself until she gets to the root of an issue. I've always walked out on a cloud, feeling totally relaxed and if pain relief was the focus... feeling significantly better, oftentimes relieving the issue completely. She's a masterful massage therapist.
