This is a long overdue review for Kerry Ann. I have been coming to her since 2019 when I was referred to her by a surgeon in Hawthorne for lymphatic massages. My experiences with Kerry Ann have always been great, more than amazing. I always end up leaving g her office more relaxed and in pure bliss. She's very professional and kind. I love my sessions with her because we can talk for hoursssss!!! She has amazing hands and is great at what she does, I highly recommend her!! read more

Kerry Ann deserves 5 stars! I developed swollen thyroid and lymph nodes from prescribed eczema medication. My dermatologist (at Cedars) referred me to an ENT, but after multiple visits, I only felt worse and spent more time and money without relief. Then I found Kerry Ann. She is Vodder-certified, highly knowledgeable in lymphatic care, and from my very first session I noticed a difference within days. After just three visits, my swollen lymph nodes have nearly disappeared. She is both skilled and compassionate, and her pricing is very fair--especially in LA County. I'm so grateful for her expertise and care. It's rare to find someone certified in Vodder lymphatic therapy, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

A month later, I am still reflecting on the depth of this experience. Kerry Anne Negel's professionalism and mastery of the lymphatic system were immediately apparent. Through her clear and thoughtful explanations, I was able to visualize the flow within my body -- understanding not just what was moving, but why it mattered. Her touch was skilled and intuitive, honoring the strength and delicacy of the lymphatic system, moving the fluid with patience, precision, and great respect. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and with a profound sense of connection to my own healing. What a rare and beautiful gift. Highly recommend. read more

I'm a 40 year veteran nurse and truly recognize an educated, competent, honest, gentle, and good spirited licensed lymphatic massage therapist. Kerry Ann is one of the best I've seen in this industry. Thank you Kerry Ann for helping me with post surgery. Much appreciated. read more

Here's what you need to know! She is one of the few Vodder trained therapists in LA. I drove 1 hour from Pacific Palisades to see her weekly after my surgery for 3 months, so her massages work! The only time I cheated on Kerry Ann was when I went on vacation and booked a lymphatic massage at a 5-star exclusive resort, and my body was a mess afterward. Lesson learned. Lymph massage is trending, and many therapists claim to be trained when they are not. Kerry Ann, thank you so much for helping my body heal! read more

I cannot say enough about Kerry Ann and SouthBay Lymphatic. I rarely write reviews, but I had to write about how much Kerry Ann helped me - not once, but on two different occasions. She worked on my face when I experienced Bell's Palsy, and her experience and knowledge was 100% instrumental in helping heal me. I am forever grateful. Secondly, Kerry Ann worked on my ankle when I sprained it. She applied her expert massage techniques and Reiki, and It was measurably better within hours. I am not exaggerating. Kerry Ann is kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. read more

I walked in not knowing much about lymphatic therapy and walked out a true believer of its necessity to a healthier well-being. Kerry Ann is very knowledgeable and passionate about health. She showed me a diagram and explained the workings of the lymphatic system. As she began to work on me, I told her about constant pain I had in my feet since last year August later diagnosed as capsulitis of the 2nd toes. When she first touched my right toe, it was painful but in a matter of minutes, I was pain free - for the first time in 5 months! I'm astounded! I am able to touch and bend my toes without pain! Kerry Ann is a gifted therapist. read more

I absolutely live Kerry. Ann. She is extremely knowledgeable in her profession! I had gotten liposuction and needed post op lymphatic massages, After going to several places in Beverly Hills, then coming to Kerry Ann, I realized that, in Be early Hills, I was going to people who did not have half the knowledge Kerry has about this post op lymphatic massage. I had better improvement after coming to Kerry Ann. There is a review here that says "if you're a woman of color, do not come here.@ but I am a woman of color and Kerry Ann was absolutely amazing with me. I figure she had mis communication that was perceived as racism. She should give this place another try because I am very satisfied. read more

Kerry Ann Nagel is a true professional as well as a powerful healer! My expectations were exceeded as it was my first lymphatic drainage massage. Many will find her for post-op therapy or other conditions, but my visit was for a proactive wellness tool and a curiosity! When I read she also understood Energy Healing, I didn't hesitate. Not only have I researched and applied the benefits of caring for our lymph system, using dry brushing, and understanding the exact methods and directions in which to move our lymph for a few years now, I am also interested as an energy healer, to re-train our mind, brain, body and soul to release what has served its purpose, and not allow stagnant energy or wounds to remain. While I personally also work with people in an energetic way, supported by Advanced Breathwork "Pranayama", mantra/affirmations, Asana/physical yoga, grounding in nature, juicing and eating an organic plant-based diet... Kerry Ann uses trained physical touch, in a subtle, relaxing rhythm infused with a beautifully restorative Reiki life-force energy. Cannot wait for my next visit! ~Lisa Zadoyan, RMT, RYT 555hr. @wakeuplulu @peacemammalove read more

SouthBay Lymphatic Therapy - Massage Therapy Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

This morning I has the pleasure of having a lymphatic massage by Ms. Kerry Ann..I must say I was very pleased with how knowledgeable and informative she was. She took her rime to explain what she was doing and why, she advised me on how ro achieve the best results. I'd had lipo 360 in April 2023 and still had some swelling and tenderness. Ms. Kerry Ann was able to gently help move the fluid to insure it is excreted like its supposed too. I felt instant relief from the tightness I was feeling. It was a great experience and painless. I'm grateful I found her. I've scheduled future appointments and you should do the same if you're looking for the most qualified MLD in the area.. read more

Unprofessional This is my second time seeing Kerry. My first appointment was on December 8th for 90 minutes. As I sat in the waiting room today, February 14, 2020, Kerry walked past me twice never acknowledging me. Finally I said: hello, I have a appointment with you at 11:00. She looked at me as if I were crazy. She asked for my name as she smirked and looked though her phone?? She honestly acted as though she had never seen me before in her life! Kerry said she had no Shannan in her phone? I showed Kerry our text log with my "confirmed appointment." Her response was unapologetic. She asked if I could come back because she was busy or on another day (I seriously booked this appointment two weeks ago). So in my mind, I basically drove from the Marina to Manhattan Beach on a Friday to have her act as though she has never in her life seen me before. Let's be honest Kerry, how many women of color do you see come into your office in Manhattan Beach? The fact that she acted as though we never met or had a conversation was astounding. If you are a women of color, please don't waste your time on this woman. She is unprofessional and in my experience, seems to not like women with my skin tone. Thank you Kerry for wasting over an hour of my day. read more

See all

Ms.KerryAnne is a Healer, truly. Her lymphatic massage is the absolute standard, I could never imagine myself going to anyone else- Ever. Post surgery, I didn't feel like I was in my own body...I was so uncomfortable and in significant pain. KerryAnne gifted my body back to me and I'm so grateful that my path led me to her healing touch, I would have had a much different result had it not been for her...100%. I've also experienced a few Reiki sessions and I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to be able to benefit from her energy work. There's mention on here of a racial related concern...I myself am a minority and have not once sensed anything related to any form of discrimination/racism. I believe Ms.KerryAnne is an absolute professional, extremely knowledgeable and empathetic in her care. She's a gift. read more

Kerry Ann is a *healer* in every way. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is also the kindest soul. This will be the best lymphatic massage you will get - she knows what she is doing and is so knowledgeable about the body, the lymphatic system, immune system, and just healing in general. I even had problems with ovarian cysts for over 10 years that these massages have cured! Whether you are going for post op or just the benefits of it, you will get so much more out of your appointment. Highly recommend her! read more

I was in search of a legitimate certified lymphatic drainage masseuse to assist with my post surgery recovery. I got a tummy tuck with 360 lipo about 4 weeks prior and wanted to speed up the recovery. Finding someone who truly is certified in this craft is not easy and unfortunately I discovered there are many frauds out there. After a failed attempt with another masseuse I knew when I met Kerry she was the real deal. I found her wonderful massage studio while searching on google. Kerry has a gift of healing, compassion, and is dedicated to her craft. I highly recommend her to everyone especially those who are recovering from surgery. Her fee is fair and reasonable. Commit to your appointment(s) because consistency is important to your recovery and health. read more

Kerry Ann is a TRUE professional!! She REALLY knows her stuff!!! My wife recently had surgery and lymphatic therapy was highly recommended by her doctor. So I found Kerry Ann, the ONLY certified lymphatic therapist in the area!! She has a lot of knowledge, a ton of compassion, and very healing hands. This therapy was NOT painful like my wife expected it to be based on our limited research. She gets 5 stars!!! read more

I was referred to Kerry Ann by a trusted friend who sees her regularly and raves about her work. She is amazing! I'm so glad I went! I did not know she is one of the few therapists in Southern California whose expertise is Lymphatic massage or that she combines Reiki with her work. Both were very powerful. I felt a little bit of a detox afterwards but the next day I felt lighter, stronger, more grounded and clear than I have felt in years! So worth it. She also gave me exercises / body corrections to practice to stay aligned while working at the computer which have been super helpful. I've received a lot of massage throughout my life and am very choosy about the body/energy workers I go to. I found Kerry Ann to be one of the best I've experienced to date. She's very kind and grounded, really knows her stuff. I highly recommend Kerry Ann for any type of bodywork and healing! read more

Kerry Ann is a healer. I am a competitive dancer. Soon after a shoulder surgery I had a dance comp and my shoulder was in massive pain. I thought I had to get another surgery. Kerry Ann worked on my shoulder, I could not believe it, whatever the pain I had, it was gone. Recently I had a meniscus surgery on my knee. During my healing process, I visited Kerry Ann's office in MB. She had worked on my knee and my body. It never fails, she is best masseur and the healer. She is passionate and loves healing her clients. Thank you, Kerry Ann, for healing me every time. read more

I found Kerry on Yelp and I'm so happy that I found such an amazing lymphatic massage therapist who does lymphatic facial sculpting massage. It's the buzz right now. A lot of celebrities and influencers are getting it done. Not only Kerry is amazing at what she does but, she has trained with the top facial sculpting massage guru Yakov Gershkovich. I'm so excited that I can go get a facial sculpting massage from Kerry because I'm hooked and I don't have to drive far to get it done!! It's the natures answer to Botox. It supports the tightening and strengthening of the facial musculature. It debloats your face. I highly recommend Kerry. Her energy is very positive and welcoming. Thank you, Kerry, for making me feel great! read more

Yesterday I had my first lymphatic facial massage and it was absolutely incredible!!! I'm in my early thirties and just starting to notice the first signs of aging so I want to be proactive about treatment and approach things naturally. Not only did the massage feel absolutely incredible as muscles are being addressed and worked that have literally never been touched, but at the end I looked plump, well rested, and younger. My lips literally looked like I had just gotten injections (in a good way), and my laugh lines were almost non-existent. I'm going to start incorporating this treatment into my routine both as an act of self care, but also because it gets results! So thankful I found Kerry Ann. She is a master of her craft! read more

Just had my first lymphatic massage a week post lipo , Kerry was really great and knowledgeable really worked on the areas that were needed. I had stiff and bumpy areas around my abdomen and ribs, I walked out of there much more softer and even and feeling so much better. Looking forward to more sessions with her. read more

I was unprepared for the fluid build up and lumpy hardening of tissue after having 360 Liposuction on my mid-section. My surgeon recommended Lymphatic Drainage Massage to help alleviate the issue which happens to everyone after this type of procedure and is quite painful! Thank God for Kerry-Ann Nagel at SouthBay Lymphatic Therapy! Her magic hands got to work and provided almost instant relief from the very first session. The painful hard lumps improved gradually over about 8 sessions. Kerry-Ann is extremely knowledgeable and certified in this highly specialized form of massage. I would not hesitate to recommend her for after care to anyone thinking about getting liposuction. It also helps speed the healing process so you get to your end result faster! Thank you, Kerry-Ann! read more

Fantastic work! I am so impressed with Kerry Ann. Her technique leaves me feeling amazing. Truly noticeable differences. Look forward to going back! read more

Found Kerry on Yelp and went to her for a lymphatic massage. It was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep. So weird afterwards I felt a little light headed, but that was to be expected. I went home and fell asleep immediately. I will definitely return. Also parking is easy as there is a lot right outside. read more

I'm not someone who would write a review honestly never have but I really had to this time. Kerry was so sweet and knowledgeable. Knew exactly what she was doing. I needed post op lymphatic massage and after doing my research on so many different places and hearing all sorts of different scary stories on how much lymphatic massages hurt. I was indecisive who to go with. I had a good vibe about this place from all other spots I researched so I decided to come here. Absolutely no regrets at alll. I am so happy with my results after just one session I felt so much better & noticed a difference. My soreness had went down so much. I will definitely be back. If you're looking for a post op lymphatic massage, definitely should come here. read more

I was looking for a natural way to tone and tighten my face rather than getting botox and I heard that Kerryann at Southbay Lymphatic in Manhattan Beach was a specialist in a Face Sculpting technique. I had the most incredible experience with her and immediately saw and felt the difference in my face after one session. It was unlike any facial I've experienced. This technique was originated in Europe where shes been trained, while using only her hands very similar to the Bucchal theory. I absolutely loved it..and Kerryann too. I would definitely recommend her to my clients and friends!! read more

I have been going to Kerry Ann for about a month - post surgery for lymphatic massage - she has really helped me to heal - the results have been great from lymphatic massage and not just post surgery but for your overall health - I very much look forward to our weekly sessions read more

Kerry Ann is amazing, quite simply. I've been going to her for a few months and she's helped me with everything from chronic shoulder/neck tightness, an old sports injury, and getting me back to normal after a weeklong yoga intensive. She is super knowledgeable about anatomy and different healing modalities, has great positive energy and leaves me feeling relaxed (I always sleep great after a session, too). I highly recommend her to anyone looking for muscle relief, stress reduction, and/or relaxation. Her room is perfectly put together and has a soothing environment that enhances the experience, too! read more

Kerry Ann is devoted to healing her clients and makes herself available to meet her clients needs. And not to mention, she is a wonderful, caring, and hilarious person :) read more

I had my first lymphatic massage this weekend and I am excited to continue treatments! I started researching lymphatic massages after learning the importance of the lymphatic system and it's relation to the immune system. I am undergoing tattoo removal which is entirely dependent on my body's ability to flush out toxins & ink so I felt this would help speed up the process. I explained this to Kerry Ann so she was sure to spend extra time on the skin around my tattoo I am removing. This was probably the most relaxing massage I have ever had! I almost fell asleep and when I left I was very relaxed. That night and the following night I slept GREAT (I usually have insomnia). I will update this review after I have more sessions, but so far so good :) Pricing is very fair and Kerry Ann is very knowledgeable and explains the entire process. read more

It was my first time having a lymphatic drainage massage, I had no idea what to expect but Kerry Ann eased all of my concerns. I was two weeks post-op and experiencing pain, swelling and pain at the surgical site, I was afraid of edema and post-op fibrosis becoming permanent, but after just one session Kerry Ann was able to get my body back on the right track. After the massage I could feel an immediate difference. I highly suggest Kerry Ann she is very knowledgeable, professional and truly cares about helping her clients on the road to recovery. read more
