Katherine is amazing and so knowledgeable and professional. Her Linfa tea is a daily part of my routine
The office carries so much positive energy…

I used Lymphatic drainage before and after my surgery and have continued because of the positive changes I see in my body and mind.

I had an extended tummy tuck, liposuction on the bra area, back, and flanks. So far, I have had 4 lymphatic massages and it has been such a wonderful experience here at Carolina Pintos Therapy. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with friendly faces. Everyone is so nice to you. Dani is such a wonderful person. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything she is doing. Dani made me feel so special and comfortable. You can tell she loves what she does and treats you like family. I was very impressed when the owner, Carolina Pintos, came in to see me and personally greeted me. It is rare when an owner of an establishment comes to greet you personally. I would highly recommend coming here for your post-op care. I see they have a lot more to offer here besides lymphatic massages. Once I am all healed I plan to try some of their other massages and facials. Dani is so wonderful that I booked all of my 15 lymphatic massages with her. She is super friendly. I always walk out of my sessions feeling better and relaxed.

I have been going to Carolina Pintos Therapy for my post op lymphatic massages. I recently had a breast lift and contouring lipo. I had heard of the benefits of lymphatic massages for years but finally have had a strong enough reason to give it a go. I see Dani and Catherine 2x a week and my healing has sped up exponentially as well as the expected release of the retained fluid. The practice is clean and beautiful and the therapists beyond knowledgeable plus they CARE about you and your health. Even after I am healed this will be a practice that I incorporate into my routine monthly because the benefits are just so strong. Very thankful my doctor recommended this practice and am more than happy to recommend it to anyone else!

Dani was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and incredibly educational, taking the time to explain how lymphatic drainage works and what my body needed post-op. I noticed a visible difference immediately after my session. I would 100% recommend her, she’s one of the best staff members at Caroline Pintos.

Dani was amazing. Seeing her smiling face from the moment I arrived was very welcoming for my first appointment. She was very kind and provided excellent service. She made sure that I was comfortable and informed about the service I was receiving, then answered all of my questions. The lymphatic drainage service was very gentle. I will be back.

Carolina Pintos was recommended to me by my plastic surgeon after I had my mommy makeover. I see Dani. She is amazing. We started with the lymphatic drainage massages. I felt so much relief after my sessions with Dani. We have now moved on to scar manipulation which is tough to endure, but I trust Dani. She always gives me how it will be and gives great advice. She has such a warm personality and is so talented. The office is very stylish and I really enjoy the warmed beds especially when it’s cold outside.
