Our Approach to Healing
Our goal is to support healing in a way that helps you look, feel, and live your best.
Medical Massage was founded by Emily Carlson based on the belief that you deserve thoughtful care, whether you’re recovering from surgery, navigating pregnancy, or simply trying to feel better in your body.
Life should not feel like a constant struggle.
For women experiencing stubborn weight changes, brain fog, persistent fatigue, or a nervous system that feels trapped in a continual state of stress or "fight-or-flight," our approach offers a path toward meaningful healing and renewed balance.
By thoughtfully integrating functional nutrition, lymphatic drainage massage, and vagus nerve regulation, Emily provides a truly holistic approach that supports the connection between mind, body, and overall wellness.
Meet the Founder
Trained by board-certified plastic surgeon @totaldefiner in Bogota, Colombia, for advanced post-operative lymphatic drainage massage.
Emily Carlson is a recognized pioneer and innovator in the field of lymphatic drainage massage. More than 20 years ago, she began working alongside a plastic surgeon to develop and implement lymphatic drainage services at a time when this approach was far less widely known and utilized than it is today. Her extensive experience and forward-thinking approach have helped shape and elevate the field.
She is not only an experienced practitioner, but also a dedicated educator and mentor, committed to teaching and guiding those entering the field. Through sharing her knowledge and expertise, she helps cultivate the next generation of professionals in this specialized discipline.
Emily's commitment extends beyond professional practice. She personally incorporates these therapies and wellness principles into her own life, embracing a lifestyle centered on health, longevity, and overall well-being.
Outside of her professional work, Emily is deeply engaged in family life and enjoys raising her large blended family in Utah. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, staying active through exercise, boating, and playing golf.
