A 60-minute session is the minimum amount of time recommended for a complete Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment. This session allows for a calm, thorough and clinically focused approach to traditional German Vodder-style Manual Lymphatic Drainage, while also leaving space for Valerie’s specialized treatment style.

Your session may include carefully selected supportive therapies such as chi therapy, therapeutic vibration, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and relevant acupressure point work, depending on your needs that day. Each element is chosen with intention to support lymphatic flow, calm the nervous system, reduce stagnation and encourage the body’s natural drainage process.

This treatment is ideal for clients seeking a focused lymphatic session in a peaceful, restorative setting.

A 90-minute session allows for a more complete Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment, with time for full-body lymphatic work and additional attention to your presenting concerns. This session is rooted in traditional German Vodder-style Manual Lymphatic Drainage and incorporates Valerie’s integrative approach to lymphatic care.

When appropriate, your treatment may also include chi therapy, therapeutic vibration, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and relevant acupressure point work. These supportive therapies are thoughtfully selected to encourage lymphatic movement, soften areas of congestion, support relaxation and help the body shift into a more restorative state.

This session is ideal for clients who want full-body lymphatic drainage with focused attention on areas of swelling, heaviness, stagnation, inflammation, post-surgical changes or other specific concerns.

A 2-hour Manual Lymphatic Drainage session is the most comprehensive lymphatic treatment offered at Full Circle Vitality. This extended appointment is designed for clients who may have multiple presenting concerns, need more time for a thorough full-body treatment or simply want the deepest level of lymphatic support

and relaxation.

This session is rooted in traditional German Vodder-style Manual Lymphatic Drainage and allows additional time for Valerie’s integrative approach to lymphatic care. When appropriate, your treatment may also include chi therapy, therapeutic vibration, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and relevant acupressure point work, each selected with intention based on your needs that day.

While all Manual Lymphatic Drainage sessions can be deeply calming, the 2-hour session offers the most spacious and profound restorative experience. This extended treatment allows the nervous system more time to settle, the body more time to soften and the lymphatic system more time to respond.

This 3 Hour combination session begins with Manual Lymphatic Drainage to gently encourage lymphatic movement, calm the nervous system and prepare the body for deeper therapeutic work. Once the lymphatic system has been supported, the session transitions into focused medical massage based on your

presenting concerns.

This treatment allows time for both Valerie’s traditional German Vodder-style Manual Lymphatic Drainage approach and clinically informed massage therapy. When appropriate, MLD may be supported with chi therapy, therapeutic vibration, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and relevant acupressure point work. The medical massage portion may incorporate additional therapeutic techniques such as gua sha, ashiatsu, cupping and precision deep vibration using a powerful therapeutic percussion device.

This session is ideal for clients who need lymphatic support but also have areas of muscular tension, restriction, discomfort, postural strain or soft-tissue holding patterns that may benefit from more focused hands-on work.

This optional 90-minute Manual Lymphatic Drainage session is for clients who would like to begin lymphatic care through a structured three-session Foundational Series. It is not required for all MLD clients; standard MLD sessions are also available for single appointments

or ongoing care.

The Foundational Series may be helpful for clients experiencing swelling, heaviness, inflammation, post-surgical changes, lymphedema, lipedema, fluid retention or chronic lymphatic congestion. Each session is booked and paid for individually at the standard

90-minute MLD rate.

Recommended spacing is typically 3–7 days between the first and second session, with the third session scheduled 7–14 days later when appropriate. This timing helps create consistency while allowing Valerie to observe how your body responds and adjust care as needed.

This 30-minute virtual session is designed to help you learn safe, gentle self-lymphatic drainage techniques from the comfort of your own home. Through live video guidance, Valerie will walk you through simple, appropriate lymphatic drainage movements based on your areas of concern and your current needs.

This session may be helpful for clients managing swelling, heaviness, fluid retention, post-surgical changes, lymphedema, lipedema, inflammation or general lymphatic congestion. You will receive real-time instruction on hand placement, pressure, direction and pacing so you can feel more confident supporting your lymphatic system between professional treatments.

Guided self-drainage can be especially helpful for clients who need ongoing support but are unable to come in as often, are traveling, are between appointments or would like to better understand how to care for their lymphatic system at home. The goal is to keep the techniques simple, gentle and realistic so they can become part of your personal self-care routine.

This appointment is educational and supportive in nature. It does not replace medical care, diagnosis or hands-on Manual Lymphatic Drainage, but it can be a valuable tool for ongoing lymphatic self-care.

A lymphedema consultation is designed for clients who are experiencing swelling, heaviness, tissue changes or concerns related to lymphatic health and would like professional guidance before beginning treatment.

During this appointment, Valerie will review your history, discuss your current symptoms and assess the areas of concern from a clinical lymphatic perspective. This consultation may include education about lymphedema, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Complete Decongestive Therapy, compression, skin care, self-management strategies and appropriate next steps.

This appointment is ideal for clients with diagnosed lymphedema, suspected lymphedema, post-surgical or post-cancer swelling, chronic swelling, limb heaviness or changes in tissue texture. The goal is to help you

better understand what may be contributing to your swelling and determine whether lymphatic care

may be appropriate for your needs.

This consultation does not replace medical diagnosis or care from your physician, but it can provide supportive guidance and help you feel more informed

about your options.

A 60-minute medical massage session is best used for focused therapeutic work on one primary area of concern. While a full-body massage can be completed within this time, it requires a more structured routine and leaves limited room for detailed attention to

specific issues.

For the most effective treatment, this session is recommended for clients who would like to focus on a particular area of tension, discomfort, restriction, postural strain or soft-tissue holding patterns. Valerie’s approach to medical massage is clinically informed and outcome-focused, with treatment tailored to your presenting concerns rather than general

relaxation alone.

When appropriate, your session may incorporate additional therapeutic techniques such as gua sha, ashiatsu, cupping and precision deep vibration using a powerful therapeutic percussion device. Each technique is selected with intention to support soft-tissue release, improve mobility, reduce muscular guarding and help the body return to a more functional, comfortable state.

A 90-minute medical massage session allows for more thorough, clinically focused treatment when one area of concern is connected to a larger pattern in the body. Rather than approaching the session as a standard full-body massage, this appointment is designed for clients seeking targeted therapeutic work for pain, restriction, tension, postural strain, muscular guarding or soft-tissue holding patterns.

With more than 31 years of experience in the field, Valerie’s approach to medical massage is specific, intuitive and outcome-focused. Many clients seek this work when they have a persistent concern that has not fully resolved elsewhere, or when they need a more detailed session than a shorter appointment can provide.

Each technique is selected with intention to support soft-tissue release, improve mobility, reduce muscular guarding and help the body return to a more functional, comfortable state.

A 2-hour medical massage session offers even more time for detailed, clinically focused therapeutic work. This extended appointment is designed for clients with more complex or long-standing concerns, multiple areas of restriction, or patterns of pain and tension that require

a more thorough treatment approach.

Rather than a traditional full-body massage, this session is centered on clinical assessment, skilled hands-on work and thoughtful treatment progression. With more than 31 years of experience in the field, Valerie’s approach is specific, intuitive and outcome-focused, allowing time to address the primary area of concern while also considering the surrounding structures and larger patterns contributing to discomfort or limited mobility.

A 3-hour medical massage session offers the most comprehensive level of clinically focused therapeutic work available at Full Circle Vitality. This extended appointment is designed for clients with complex, long-standing or multi-layered concerns that require more time, greater detail and a more complete

treatment strategy.

Full Circle Vitality.

This 20-minute full-body deep vibration session uses a professional-grade, handheld oscillating device to deliver powerful mechanical vibration throughout the body. The treatment is designed to help soften muscular tension, reduce stiffness, encourage circulation and support a deep nervous-system reset in a short, focused appointment.

Unlike percussion-style massage tools, this device uses broad orbital vibration to create a rhythmic, penetrating effect through the muscles and soft tissues. The intensity may be adjusted as needed, allowing the treatment to range from soothing and calming to deeper and more invigorating, depending on your comfort level and goals for the session.

This service is ideal for clients who feel physically tense, heavy, stiff, sore, overstimulated or in need of a quick but profound reset. While the session is brief, the effects can feel deeply relaxing and restorative, offering a unique full-body experience that supports both muscular release and whole-body calm.
