Hello

Wendy Pinkerton, the visionary owner of Nourish Lymphatics & Massage, is a dedicated professional passionate about empowering others through the art of healing touch. With over 20 years of experience in the health and wellness field, including a background in Anatomy & Kinesiology from Missouri Southern State University, Wendy has always been deeply engaged in understanding the human body and optimizing its health, vitality, and overall function. Her specialized skills in lymphatics and massage allow her to offer a wholistic approach to healing and recovery.

​

As a licensed massage therapist and certified lymphatic drainage therapist, Wendy provides a range of therapeutic services to support her clients' well-being. She is a specialist in deep tissue massage, utilizing slow, deeply relaxing myofascial release techniques to release muscle tension, alleviate chronic pain, and improve overall muscle function. Wendy also offers prenatal massage, tailored to support the comfort and health of expecting mothers by easing pregnancy-related discomfort and enhancing circulation.

​

Wendy's advanced certifications in post-plastic surgery lymphatic drainage are integral to her ability to help clients heal more effectively following surgical procedures. Her lymphatic drainage techniques promote faster recovery, reduce swelling and bruising, and improve overall well-being for those undergoing cosmetic surgery, leaving them with more desirable final results and outcomes.

 

 Wendy also emphasizes the benefits of regular lymphatic massage as a preventive measure for overall health. She is trained in manual lymphatic drainage through LMT Success Group, using the Vodder Method, the gold standard in the field. Additionally, she has completed advanced post-operative lymphatic drainage training through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), specializing in plastic surgery recovery. She tailors her approach to each client, utilizing various lymphatic drainage techniques based on individual goals and needs. By stimulating the lymphatic system, this technique helps decongest and detox the body, improving immune function, reducing water retention, and promoting better circulation. Regular lymphatic massage is an effective way to enhance the body's natural detoxification processes, maintain optimal wellness, and support the body in flushing out toxins, resulting in increased energy and a greater sense of vitality.​

​

In addition to her work in post-operative care, Wendy is expanding her expertise to include oncology lymphatic care, with ongoing training in this specialized field. This upcoming certification will allow her to offer crucial support for individuals healing after chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Through advanced lymphatic techniques, Wendy will help patients recover more effectively, alleviate treatment-related swelling and discomfort, and support overall health and vitality during their recovery. This invaluable service will be available soon, providing enhanced care for cancer survivors.​​

​

 Her approach is rooted in a deep commitment to individualized care, tailoring each session to address the unique needs of her clients. Whether facilitating post-operative recovery, easing chronic discomfort, supporting prenatal wellness, or promoting overall vitality, Wendy creates a tranquil and restorative environment where her clients feel supported and cared for.  Wendy’s philosophy centers on the belief that true healing encompasses not just the physical, but also the mental and emotional well-being of the individual. At Nourish Lymphatics & Massage, she offers more than a service—she offers a partnership in your journey toward vitality, balance, and lasting wellness.
