"I highly recommend visiting NLC for your health and wellness needs. I’ve been getting lymphatic massages from both Sharon and Abdu who are amazingly talented, kind and professional. After each massage my body feels lighter, my stomach is less swollen and I feel incredible. 10 out of 10!"

"I am so thankful that I found National Lymphatic Centers. I have been desperately searching for answers for over two years and been to multiple doctors. I began getting these horrible sores on my face. I had terrible itching on my face and in many spots all over my body. I thought I was having a bad case of adult acne or maybe food allergy issues but every time I try to eliminate a food or try and acne cream nothing helped. I also had bodyaches, especially my joints. Doctors had no idea what to do with me and just kept on prescribing antibiotics and steroids, but nothing was helping and my face & body aches were getting so much worse. I begin withdrawing from my life because I was too embarrassed to show my face. My life started to feel pretty miserable. After doing countless hours of research on the internet, I somehow came across a Lymphatic therapist which talked about lymphatic disease. She described so many of the symptoms I was having that I was pretty confident this was my issue. I looked online and couldn’t believe that there was a lymphatic center in Downers Grove Illinois. I called and happen to get the founder Sharon on the phone. She was so kind and compassionate and even though she had no appointments she came in early the following morning just to see me. She was the first person that made me feel that I was actually going to get some help. She finally gave me hope. When I walked into the office I felt like I was in a spa! It was so beautiful and welcoming and so was Sharon. My first appointment was wonderful. Sharon confirmed my instinct and told me I have lymphatic disease. This is something that was not my fault and not due to any food or exercise routine I had done. This was a genetic disorder that was passed down to me. It is some thing that can be treated but never cured. She gave me so much education and information and began teaching me how the two of us are a team & can treat me. She immediately began The Vogel method of lymphatic drainage. My entire body was clogged with lymphatic fluid which has been causing all the itching and the horrible skin problems I am having. Only after one treatment, I noticed a difference in my skin, my itching, and my joint pain. I have thought my hamstring and shoulder were just injured and would not heal due to me getting older, but what I found is that they were both filled with lymphatic fluid which was pinching on my nerves making me feel like I had an injury. The next day I was able to work out with almost no pain in the area. That had not happened in over eight years. I have now had two more treatments with Sharon and each time these areas on my face that had hardened (some like Jell-O and some even harder) are now starting to soften and drain. I cannot wait to see what a few more treatments will do. I wish more of the medical community would understand the lymphatic system so they could share this information with people like me that come in who desperately need treatment. Thank you to Sharon for having such kindness and compassion."

"The service is great, and afterwards it really helps, I've been long haul covid for almost 4 months, and was really in bad shape, heard about lymphatic drainage massage, and I did my research on it, and I went from not feeling if I was going to make it, to going back to work, not at 100% yet, but I'm getting there, with the help of Sharon Vogel"

"I've had a few lymphatic massage sessions with Sharon. She's very knowledgeable and skilled. I've experienced great results and improvement of swollen lymph nodes due to NHL and a finger contracture due to an old injury. I highly recommend this business."

"I had an injury last year which caused a lot of changes in my body. One thing many medical professionals noticed was that they felt a lot of "clogged" lymph nodes, congestion, etc. Additionally, I followed a blogger on social media who swore by lymphatic drainage massages, which got me excited. I searched it up and thought I'd find someone at a nearby massage business who had experience with lymphatic drainage massages...nothing special. To my surprise, I found there was a whole center dedicated to it! I quickly called, had a consultation, and scheduled an appointment with Maribel since she had the soonest availability. My first session included a dry brushing session, hot towels, and hot rocks. Extremely divine. Though I really enjoyed Maribel, I wanted to get a massage with the founder (Sharon), especially since she had more experience with this specific type of massage. I purchased a package of 3 with Sharon and went back. First of all: Sharon is so freaking sweet and jolly. I love talking to her, and you can tell she's passionate about her work. She's studied this and loved it so much she started her own business. Our session started with a foot massage on the vibrating plates. She explained this was to get everything moving upwards so it could drain. As someone who likes understanding how things work, I was fascinated. We then went to the room. I had a lot of questions, and she pulled out books to explain to me how this massage works. The first two sessions were great, but I do have to say, the final one was a 20/10. The final one also included drainage on my face, and I felt so rejuvenated afterwards. When the sessions are over, she has you go back on the vibrating plates to ensure everything drains. Beware: your legs WILL get itchy during this. It's weird science, but it will happen! I really loved getting my massage there, and I'll definitely be back. Only con is that it is a bit expensive, but I do think it's worth it. Another massage therapist inspected me and noticed a complete change in my overall congestion/lymph nodes, so that's a plus! :) If you're on the fence, or if you've come across it and you're simply intrigued, I'd say do it. You won't know if you don't try. :)"

"I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I came in disheartened after my surgery, unsure of what to expect. And then I met Abdu. He is the kindest, most professional, and caring person. I wish I had met him sooner honestly. My swelling and pain have been relieved in so many ways. Not only that, he truly listens and wants to help. Each session he asks me what areas I would like him to focus on and he takes the time to follow through. This is a man who loves what he does and wants to see his patients do well. A blessing from above. Sharon was also very helpful. I spoke with her on the phone and made my appointment the very next day. She made me feel so comfortable and I could tell she was confident in what drainage could do for me. She was right. If you have swelling or fluid build up, look no further. You will be happy with your decision to go here!"
