Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized type of body work with evidence based results. It is a deeply relaxing and very powerful modality with many medical applications. It works by improving the function of the lymphatic and immune systems, helping with pain syndromes, inflammatory conditions, edema and sluggishness. It is utilized to great effect for reducing post surgical swelling and pain, as well as for those who simply need to destress and refresh.

Welcome to Tree of Life Lymphatic Therapy.
My path into the healing arts has been shaped by both holistic and clinical experience. I have been in the wellness industry for over 22 years, beginning as an esthetician and evolving into a seasoned massage therapist, with additional experience in the medical field.
Through years of hands-on work and a deepening understanding of the body, I felt naturally drawn to Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) as an essential next step. I am now a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT) through Klose Training, based on the techniques developed by Dr. Emil Vodder. This work allows me to support the body in a more targeted and refined way, focusing on reducing swelling, restoring balance, and encouraging the body’s natural healing processes.
My background in massage, esthetics, and meditation-based practices informs a grounded, attentive approach. I continue to learn from each client I work with, allowing every session to be guided by what the body needs in the moment.
I approach my work with intention and care, creating a calm, supportive environment where the body can soften, release, and restore.
I also hold a certificate in Thanatology, reflecting my commitment to compassionate, whole-person care.
It is my privilege to support you in feeling more comfortable, balanced, and at ease in your body. I look forward to caring for you.
What clients are saying
Posted on Susan M PacittoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Isobel provides an excellent theraputic massage that involves several gentle, effective touching & holding techniques from head to toe. She focuses on areas the body that promote draining of Lymphatic system fluids with holding, moving & tapping gestures which creates total relaxation while releasing pain. The movements are slight, slow and steady for me to tolerate & fully enjoy with my condition of peripheral neuropathy without invigorating my nervous system by using minimal force. I wish I could receive this wonderfully healing treatment 3 times a week!Posted on Juli VaynerisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy I found Isobell when looking into lymphatic massage. She is so kind, professional, and accommodating. I was new to this style of care, and she put me at ease and explained the process and its benefits very well. Her massage therapy is compassionate, soothing, and healing. We spoke about my personal health goals of this style massage, and I definitely feel improvements. Highly recommended!Posted on ro holmesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recommend a visit for a lymphatic massage with Susan , very professional, knowledgeable and you will be amazed with the resultsPosted on Ann McPhersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel so fortunate to have found Isobel. After surgery and radiation, I was diagnosed with lymphedema. My doctor recommended lymphatic drainage massage. I was experiencing swelling, soreness and fatigue. I am feeling much better after treatments from Isobel. Isobel is professional and kind. The massage therapy is very relaxing and the results have been remarkable.Posted on Ellen DemersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding someone doing Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage on Cape Cod was very difficult. I am so grateful to have found Susan. Not only is she an RN, licensed massage therapist, she has studied and trained specifically for MLDM. I have been diagnosed with lymphedema and my body hurt and felt stagnant. Working with Susan has been amazing to help my body feel and move better. I HIGHLY recommend her.
