Lymphatic Drainage Services

Lymphatic Drainage at Moonseed Massage offers hands-on, therapeutic support for balance, lightness, and hormonal harmony.

Offerings:

  • Lymphatic Drainage Massage (customized session)

  • Lymphatic Drainage + Therapeutic Massage

  • Abdominal + Hormonal Lymph Flow

  • Post-Operative Lymphatic Care

The lymphatic system plays a quiet but essential role in how a woman’s body feels day to day, from fluid retention and bloating to energy levels, immunity, and the natural shifts of hormones through each month and season of life.

My sessions are grounded in traditional hands-on lymphatic therapy, informed by the Vodder Method, and may include focused abdominal work and sculpting techniques inspired by Brazilian-style lymphatic drainage.

Each session is customized to your body and your goals, whether that’s general lymphatic support, digestive and abdominal focus, or visible de-bloating and contouring.

These sessions support circulation, reduce puffiness, and help the body feel lighter, more responsive, and more at ease.

I have advanced training in these methods, was trained in clinical manual lymphatic drainage nine years ago, became a certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist three years ago and since have been practicing lymphatic drainage as one of my most booked services.

Lymphatic sessions can be especially supportive for:

  • bloating and fluid retention

  • hormonal shifts and cycle support

  • digestive sluggishness

  • chronic stress and nervous system overload

  • feelings of heaviness or stagnation in the body

Moonseed Massage Lymphatic Drainage services are offered in Inverness, IL, serving the Northwest Suburbs including Inverness, Palatine, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and Barrington.

  • Lymphatic massage is especially supportive for:

    • bloating and water retention

    • hormonal changes (cycle shifts, perimenopause, postpartum)

    • sluggish digestion

    • immune system support

    • inflammation and puffiness

    • chronic stress that leaves the body feeling heavy or stagnant

  • No. Lymphatic massage uses very light, rhythmic pressure, which allows lymph to move freely just beneath the skin. Deeper abdominal work and quicker strokes are incorporated during the Brazilian lymphatic drainage session to affect deep lymphatic ducts. While you will feel light and relaxed as you would after a massage, neither session will feel like a traditional massage.

  • Most people feel lighter, clearer, less puffy and more at ease in their body. You may also notice:

    • increased urination (normal)

    • improved digestion (detoxing)

    • a soft drop in stress

    • a “floating” or rested feeling

  • For general wellness:
    Every 4–6 weeks for ongoing support.

    For hormonal balance or persistent bloating:
    Weekly or every 2–3 weeks until symptoms improve, then transition to monthly maintenance.

    For visible de-bloating and sculpting results:
    A short series is most effective, followed by maintenance as desired.

  • Yes. I am trained to offer post-surgical support for cosmetic surgeries. Please email for inquiry and availability as these sessions are highly specialized and not offered on my public calendar at this time: heymoonseed@gmail.com

    ~ Brit C.

  • “Jill is an amazing massage therapist in many ways - specifically appreciated is her diagnostic approach to each session we have together. She spends the time to understand where you are at, where your body is at, and for that reason no two sessions have been the same. From the perspective of a small business, Jill is very organized, concise, and consistent in communication which makes it easy to see her, reschedule, etc."

  • “I was looking for a true massage therapist. For me, this means someone who actually listens to my issues, attempts different techniques to resolve pain/discomfort, and is successful in relieving said pain/discomfort. Jill checks all of these boxes and more. She is a true gem, and I am so grateful to have found her!!!”

    ~ Kimberly R.

  • “I have been seeing Jill for several years starting with regular deep tissue massage, to more recently, prenatal massage. She is absolutely amazing, both in her skill and as a kind, caring, compassionate human. I always leave her massages feeling physically better, but also with a better overall mood and energy. I cannot recommend Jill enough (but I also want to keep her a secret so I can have her all to myself! :)).”
