Hydration and Nutrition
The lymphatic system is your body’s waste removal system, and it functions best when you’re well-hydrated. On the day of your session, it's recommended that you increase your intake of water, electrolytes, and warm herbal teas. A light snack before or after your session can also support your body during detoxification.

If you’re recovering from an illness, it’s important to allow your body time to heal before receiving lymphatic work. Your lymphatic system is already under increased stress managing the illness, and a session could overwhelm it further—potentially worsening your condition or triggering a relapse.
It’s recommended to wait until you’re at least 90% recovered before booking your session. Karen also takes great care to avoid exposing herself, her treatment space, or other clients to illness that could be inadvertently transmitted.

You will be asked to undress to your comfort level for the session. You may choose to leave your underwear on or remove them—whichever feels right for you. You will remain fully draped with a sheet throughout the session, and only the areas being worked on will be uncovered as needed.
