The art of massage therapy and manual lymphatic drainage
A boutique clinic in West Hillhurst, NW Calgary, where Registered Massage Therapists and a Certified Lymphedema Therapist blend science and the art of touch to reduce pain, restore mobility and support a healthy lymphatic system.
Every session begins by listening. Whether you are bouncing back from a cold, preparing for surgery, managing lymphedema after cancer treatment, or training for your next race, treatment is built around what you need that day, in private rooms with warm towels, a soft robe and tea afterwards.

Client reviews
In their words
“Migraine sufferers, this is the place for you to find relief. With combination treatments Meeghan created for me I have found a significant decrease in length, severity and occurrences of my migraines.”
Ashley S.“Great small business with excellent massage therapists. Definitely give them a try. Open 7 days a week. Very professional and knowledgeable.”
Lisa S.“Meeghan is amazing to work with, highly knowledgeable, and explains the lymphatic system in a way that is accessible so you can better take care of yourself in between appointments. Lymphatic drainage has made a huge difference to my chronic inflammation, pain, adrenal fatigue, and overall holistic wellness. I could not recommend this place more!”
