Aesthetic AfterCare
Feel Better, Heal Better, Look Better • Calgary's TRUSTED Post-Lipo Experts • Service provided by Certified Lymphedema Therapists. These sessions will differ from your typical lymphatic drainage massages. Our primary focus will be on softening your tissues, addressing fibrosis, reducing swelling, and providing support throughout the various healing phases. Your therapist will be using a variety of techniques to encourage and speed up the healing process, stimulating the lymphatic system, and breaking down fibrosis/scar tissue. End your treatment on our Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Pump to promote lymphatic flow and accelerate recovery. Enhanced circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to surgical sites, supporting tissue repair, the formation of healthy granulation tissue, and infection prevention. This improved lymph and blood flow also helps reduce inflammation, remove waste products, and shorten the inflammatory phase of healing, allowing your body to recover more efficiently.
Both therapists are trained in compression therapy and medical grade foam applications.
Top quality Medical Grade Lipo Foam, available for purchase - highly recommended if you desire the best possible outcome!
As soon as you know your surgery date, book all of your sessions at once to avoid disappointment of no availability.

Lipedema Support & Inflammation-Reduction Therapy
Perfect for pain, tenderness, swelling, or unexplained heaviness. Reducing inflammation to help your body feel balanced again. An informed approach to leg and arm discomfort—diagnosed or not.
Lipedema is a symptom of chronic inflammation marked by a disproportionate increase of fat tissue in the legs—and sometimes the arms—together with pain or tenderness when those areas are touched. It is not an edema or lymphatic disorder, yet it is widely misunderstood, leading to a great deal of misinformation online. True lipedema involves discomfort, sensitivity, and sometimes significant pain, but it does not cause weight gain, and it is not inherently progressive. How it develops varies for each person, and having lipedema does not mean you are destined to lose mobility or become more limited over time.
Because lipedema shares visual similarities with obesity, lipohypertrophy, and lymphoedema, misdiagnosis is common. In clinical reports, “lipedema” is often one of the most frequently misused labels for women with non-specific leg enlargement. When disproportionate legs occur without pain or tenderness, this is known as lipohypertrophy, not lipedema.
Lipedema is a complex condition that impacts both physical and emotional well-being. Despite these challenges, there is real potential for relief, improvement, and empowerment. At our clinic, we take a holistic and supportive approach, focusing on reducing inflammation, enhancing circulation, improving comfort, and helping you understand the factors that influence your symptoms. Our treatments are designed to help restore balance, increase ease in your body, and support your overall quality of life.
You deserve to feel better in your body, and we are here to guide you.

Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with the internal organs—such as the liver, intestines, kidneys, and stomach—and the connective tissues that support them. Restrictions in these areas can contribute to pain, digestive issues, postural imbalances, and reduced mobility.
Using light manual techniques, this therapy helps release restrictions, restore natural movement of the organs and fascia, and support healthy communication between your body’s systems. Many patients find it helpful for digestive concerns, post-surgical recovery, chronic pain, and overall balance.
Our organs need space and freedom to move, just like the rest of the body. When an organ is restricted, muscles, joints, and posture often compensate, creating tension or discomfort in unexpected places. The reverse is also true: if the body isn’t moving well, organ function can be affected.
Ronin combines Visceral Manipulation with her expertise in the lymphatic system to enhance circulation, reduce fluid retention, and support overall wellness.
Sometimes, the key to feeling free and well is looking deeper—into the organs themselves. Book your session today and discover how this combined approach can help your body move, function, and feel its best.
