Welcome, my name is Lucinda and I’m qualified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage working from my treatment room in Fareham.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Fareham
After qualifying in Nutrition in 1998 at the Dr. Plaskett Nutritional Medicine College, I began treating clients who had many health conditions. I started to realise how important the Lymphatic system was to health and wellbeing. So many clients came to see me with low energy problems, bloating, swelling and low immunity. All of which can be directly linked to a sluggish or toxic build up within the lymphatic system
Due to this discovery I decided to train to be a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist. I did my training with MLD uk and trained in the Vodder method. I am qualified in levels 1, 2 and 3 and did the advanced training at the Vodder Clinic in Walchee Austria. I’m trained in MLD as well as Decongestive Therapy (DLT) .
I have 16 years experience of treating clients who have an impaired lymphatic system due to, hereditary factors, surgery, lymph node removal and other trauma to the lymph system.
I take NHS referrals as well as private clients.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need to discuss anything or need further information.
I look forward to meeting you!
Kind regards,
Lucinda
What is the Lymphatic System
The Lymphatic System is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections. Lymphatic vessels, tissues, organs and glands work together to drain a watery fluid called lymph from throughout the body.

One if the lymphatic systems jobs is to drain extra lymph from body tissues and return it to the blood. Lymph contains white blood cells called Lymphocytes and Chyle which is made from fats and proteins from the intestines.

Organs and tissues that are part of the Lymphatic System include:
- Bone Marrow, the thick spongy kind of jelly inside bones that makes many kind of blood cells, including immune system cells.

Other organs with are part of the lymph system are:
- Tonsils
- Appendix
- Lymph nodes

I have been visiting Lucinda for regular lymphatic massages following cancer surgery for several years now. I am more than happy with my treatment and I am able to manage any swelling or discomfort with the help of Lucinda’s very skilled techniques and pleasant approach. I can highly recommend.

Lucinda has helped me massively, after having an operation many years ago I was left with lymphoedema which can really get you down, with the NHS not really giving you any or much support with this ongoing condition which we have to live with, my treatments are amazing ! with the help of drainage through a Vodder (Lucinda) which are so hard to find, I feel so much better, I have fluid build up in my neck, arm, back & stomach I would highly recommend this treatment for someone having issues regarding lymph build up. I feel like I have my life back.
