"I had such a wonderful experience with my post-surgery lymphatic massage. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely cared for and at ease. The therapist was incredibly gentle, knowledgeable, and attentive, taking the time to explain everything and make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. The massage itself made a huge difference—I left feeling noticeably less swollen, lighter, and just overall so much better in my body. Beyond the physical relief, there was also a sense of calm and reassurance that I didn’t realize I needed so much during recovery. If you’re navigating post-surgery healing, I can’t recommend this enough. It truly felt like an essential part of my recovery, and I’m so grateful for the level of care and attention I received."

Educational content from Juanita's Instagram. Lymphatic massage supports the recovery experience and is not a substitute for the medical care your surgical team provides.
PostOp recovery care is a combination of incisional drainage, lymphatic massages and proper compression with the right faja.

Recovery, In Their Words
"The swelling dropped more in one session with Juanita than in the three weeks before. I understood for the first time why my surgeon had been insisting."
"My tummy tuck recovery felt like it had a guide. I always knew the next step. The fibrosis I was afraid of never came."
"Juanita explained the lymphatic system in a way three doctors hadn't. I left with a plan, not just an appointment."

"Juanita works wonders!! Three months after surgery I was in Swell Hell and I finally got relief after only a couple of sessions. She is knowledgeable and takes her time no rush no hurry just constant confidence and assurance that swelling is temporary and treatable. She understands the recovery process and is conscious of the aftercare and the pressure needed while listening to her client. The decor and place is lovely and comfortable. Parking is easy although typical BHills pricing.🤷♀️. All worth it. The overall experience is 5 star. Lymphatic massage is now part of my monthly (minimum) routine. Thanks Juanita!!"
"Amazing experience with my post-op lymphatic massage therapist. She is extremely knowledgeable about the healing process and truly understands what the body needs after surgery. Her work helped reduce my swelling and made a huge difference in my recovery, I felt better after every session. Her space is also very peaceful and calming, which makes the whole experience even more relaxing while you’re healing. Highly recommend if you want someone who truly knows how to help your body recover properly. Ps she also a very sweet person, she always lifts my mood when I’m down just an all around good lady ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
"Juanita is absolutely amazing. Her hands are healing in every sense of the word. I had arm lipo and began my post-op massages with her on day 4, and I truly believe my recovery went as smoothly and quickly as it did because of her. She made me feel comfortable, supported, and cared for throughout the process. I’m beyond thankful for her and highly recommend her to anyone recovering from surgery."
"Juanita is an amazing, highly-skilled massage therapist. She truly cares and makes an extra effort to help through your recovery. My doctor recommended her - and it is clear why! Really nice office too!"
