The Founder

Juanita
Chabolla

A licensed massage therapist and the practitioner behind every Lymphyx protocol. Ten years spent inside Beverly Hills recovery rooms, working shoulder-to-shoulder with plastic and reconstructive surgeons, taught her what the textbook doesn't: recovery is not a waiting period. It is a practice.

Origin

How Lymphyx began

Juanita trained at the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, graduating in 2014 with a focus on clinical and medical massage. She began her career in integrative wellness centers across Los Angeles before being recruited by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to work exclusively with post-operative clients.

For six years she was the therapist those surgeons called when a client wasn't healing the way they should — when swelling stalled, when fibrosis formed, when clients left their follow-ups in tears. Her drainage protocol, refined over thousands of sessions, became the referral standard across three practices.

Lymphyx opened in 2018 with one mission: make that level of care available to every post-operative client in Los Angeles, not just the ones whose surgeon knew to refer them.

Our Mission

Post-surgical recovery deserves the same intention as the procedure itself.

Lymphyx is led by Juanita Chabolla — a licensed massage therapist with more than ten years specializing in post-operative lymphatic massage. Through specialized techniques, individualized session pacing, and close coordination with each client’s surgical team, the practice supports clients through the weeks following cosmetic and reconstructive surgery — making recovery feel calmer, more structured, more like progress than waiting.

Lymphatic massage supports the recovery experience — it does not replace the medical care your surgeon provides. Always follow your surgical team’s post-operative instructions and consult them with any medical concerns.

Our Approach

Specialized massage, matched to your stage of healing.

We offer a range of specialized massage techniques — Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Sports Massage, and post-operative recovery sessions — each tailored to your stage of healing and your specific surgical procedure.

Beyond the table, we help clients understand how each session supports their recovery: when different techniques apply across the healing timeline, how to pace appointments around your body’s response, and how to think about recovery-garment fit. When something falls outside our scope of practice, we refer you to the right specialist.

Our Vision

Restoring balance — from within.

Empowering holistic healing and optimal wellness through expert lymphatic massage that restores balance, reduces inflammation, and revitalizes the body from within.

Philosophy

Three Principles That Guide Every Session

i.
Coordinated Care
We work with your surgeon, not around them. Op-notes are read. Restrictions are respected. Progress is communicated back when useful.
ii.
Honest Cadence
You'll never be up-sold into a session you don't need. We'll tell you the minimum that works — and the maximum, if you want it.
iii.
Clinical Calm
The room is quiet. The protocol is precise. Neither spa nor hospital — a third thing, designed for the real work of recovery.
iv.
Trained Hands Only
Every therapist at Lymphyx has been personally trained and signed off by Juanita. No rotating staff, no contractors.

In Their Own Words

★★★★★
“Juanita knows exactly what she’s doing. The booking process was very professional and her studio was gorgeous and clean. Juanita used the perfect amount of pressure during my deep tissue massage and checked in with me throughout the session — especially when she hit those rough spots and knots in my back that needed working. I’m sure I’ll be back.”
Jay G.Verified Client
