Lymphatic Drainage at Very Well KC
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy at Very Well KC is a gentle, rhythmic approach designed to support the body’s lymphatic system — a key player in immune function, circulation, and overall vitality.
This therapy encourages healthy fluid movement, reduces congestion, and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Gentle Support for Circulation, Detoxification, and Fluid Balance
What Is Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy uses light, precise techniques to encourage the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. Unlike traditional massage, this work is subtle and slow, focusing on stimulating lymph pathways rather than muscles.
Lymphatic drainage may support:
Reduced swelling or fluid retention
Post-surgical recovery support
Immune system function
Detoxification and circulation
Skin health and vitality
Overall feelings of lightness and ease
Sessions are calming, restorative, and deeply supportive to the nervous system.
Who This Is For
Lymphatic drainage may be helpful if you:
Experience swelling, puffiness, or heaviness
Are recovering from surgery or illness
Want to support detoxification and circulation
Feel sluggish, inflamed, or congested
Are seeking gentle, non-invasive bodywork
This therapy is often paired with massage, skincare treatments, and Ayurveda-inspired care.

Katie Moore
Massage Therapist & Reiki Healer
LMT, CMLDT
I have been a licensed Massage Therapist since 2020. Before going to massage school, I worked as a medical assistant for 10 years. I try to incorporate my medical background into all my massage treatments as needed. I live a holistic lifestyle and love helping my clients incorporate it in any areas they may need or want guidance on.
Using this holistic approach in my practice, my main job is to serve as a vessel for my clients to achieve their healing, as the body was designed to do. I am Reiki-certified and enjoy working with clients to identify and address any blocked energy that may be hindering their healing process.I believe my massage room to be a safe sanctuary where anyone is welcome and will be free of judgment. Any emotions or feelings that come up during a session are valid and welcome, and will be met with love and kindness. My goal in every session is to listen to the client and really understand their goals for that session, whether that be relaxation or pain relief. I also work as a hospice massage therapist, so I have experience with all ages and many different medical conditions. I am certified in Manual Lymph Drainage and cupping, and I feel both modalities can be very beneficial when indicated. In my free time, you will find me hanging out with my children and fiancé, or just being outside enjoying nature.
Any of my services can be added to a session at no additional charge. These services include: hot stones, cupping, facial cupping, abdominal cupping, Reiki, and manual lymph drainage. I also offer prenatal massages and use a prenatal pillow that allows you to lie on your stomach safely and creates a very comfortable, relaxing environment for moms-to-be.
