Functional Flow
Integrative Face + Lymphatic Therapy
You came in for a facial.
You leave feeling like yourself again.
Physician-led integrative face and lymphatic therapy, where clinical knowledge meets therapeutic touch.
Beyond the face
Functional Flow is physician-led integrative face and lymphatic therapy where clinical knowledge meets therapeutic touch.
Rooted in the Cecily Braden Lymphatic Brush technique and informed by more than two decades of clinical medicine, each session works with the body’s natural pathways, supporting lymphatic flow, circulation, tissue health, and the skin.
What happens on the table goes beyond the face.
Women leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves. They begin to see aging differently, not as something to fight, but as something they can participate in with intention.
And beneath the puffiness, tension, inflammation, and accumulated stress, something begins to emerge: their own natural beauty.
This isn’t a traditional facial. It’s what happens when medicine meets touch.
The approach
A different approach to face and body care.
Functional Flow is rooted in lymphatic flow, circulation, tissue health, and therapeutic touch.
Using the original Cecily Braden Lymphatic Brush (TLB) and intentional hands-on technique, each session works with the body’s natural pathways to reduce puffiness and congestion and restore a sense of lightness, vitality, and flow.

The products
Every session opens and closes with Laurel Skin.
All sessions use Laurel Skin, an artisanal, organic whole-plant skincare line sourced from farms within 100 miles of their Northern California studio, formulated without water, alcohol, synthetic chemicals, or fillers.
Products are selected and customized for each client based on their individual skin and needs at the time of their session.
Your home practice creates consistency. Here, you simply receive.
The Lymphatic Brush is a beautiful tool for home self-care, and learning to use it well is something we actively teach. But receiving the work is different.
Trained and certified directly by Cecily Braden, creator of the Lymphatic Brush technique, Dr. Kay brings anatomical precision, trained touch, and real-time assessment to every session, adjusting pressure, sequence, and technique to what your tissues are presenting that day.
Results you can see, and feel.
Puffiness lifts. The face looks more open, rested, and defined. And underneath that, something shifts in how you feel in your own face, lighter, clearer, more yourself.

Functional Flow Face Treatment
30 to 45 minutes
$120
A focused lymphatic session working the drainage pathways of the face and neck to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce fluid accumulation, clear congestion, and restore circulation and skin vitality.
Results can be immediate and visible. Puffiness lifts. The face looks more open, rested, and defined. The skin has a quality of aliveness that is hard to describe and easy to see. And underneath that, something shifts in how you feel in your own face, lighter, clearer, more yourself.
Trained hands read the tissue in real time, adjusting pressure, direction, and sequence based on what your face is presenting that day, working in physiological sequence to support more effective drainage.
Each session opens and closes with Laurel Skin, an organic whole-plant line selected for your skin that day.
GOOD FOR
puffiness and fluid retention, dark circles and under-eye bags, acne and breakouts, rosacea and redness, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, sinus congestion and pressure, jaw tension and TMJ, dull or congested skin that does not respond to topical skincare alone, and skin navigating hormonal shifts through perimenopause and menopause.
Functional Flow Face + Décolleté Treatment
45 to 60 minutes
$165
A focused lymphatic session extending the drainage work from the face and neck through the décolleté, upper chest, and arms.
You feel the difference immediately. The face feels clearer. The chest and neck release tension you may not have realized you were carrying. There is a sense of openness through the whole upper body, like something that was backed up has finally moved.
The décolleté sits over important lymphatic pathways of the upper body. Working through the chest, collarbone pathways, and axillary region allows the treatment to extend beyond the face and support more complete upper-body lymphatic flow.
Each session opens and closes with Laurel Skin, an organic whole-plant line selected for your skin that day.
GOOD FOR
everything in the Face Treatment, plus upper chest tightness, breast tissue fullness or tenderness, swelling or heaviness in the arms and hands, persistent facial puffiness, and women who want a more complete upper-body treatment.
Functional Flow Face + Body Treatment
75 to 90 minutes
$225
The complete Functional Flow experience for face and body.
Beginning with the face, neck, and décolleté, the treatment moves through the body’s lymphatic pathways in intentional sequence before continuing into the abdomen, hips, thighs, legs, and ankles.
This is the session where you feel the shift systemically. The face clears. The chest opens. The abdomen softens. The legs feel lighter. There is a quality of having been genuinely reset from the inside, not simply touched on the surface.
The body portion includes focused abdominal work for areas of fullness and tension before moving through areas where fluid retention and heaviness commonly accumulate. Trained hands adjust throughout the session based on what the tissue is presenting that day.
Each session opens and closes with Laurel Skin, selected for your skin and body that day.
GOOD FOR
everything in the Face + Décolleté Treatment, plus bloating and abdominal heaviness, swelling or heaviness in the legs and ankles, fluid retention associated with hormonal shifts or travel, and women navigating perimenopause and menopause who want more comprehensive lymphatic support.
