Your surgeon clears you first
When post-operative sessions can begin is a decision for your surgical team, never for the studio. Bring their guidance with you and everything is built around it.
Manual techniquePost-surgery lymphatic drainage,
at your surgeon's pace
Manual lymphatic drainage, body sculpting, wood therapy and cupping, one-to-one with Elaine Aguiar in a dedicated Stockwell studio. Wednesday and Sunday, by appointment.
Stockwell Green · London SW9

A room, two days a week, and one pair of hands
Ella Studio is not a spa floor with a rotating team. Elaine Aguiar treats every client herself, inside a dedicated studio on Stockwell Green — large windows, a proper treatment table, and a diary that only opens on Wednesday and Sunday.
That is deliberate. Post-surgical work is a course of sessions, not a single appointment, and the diary is built so each one gets full attention instead of being squeezed between twelve others.

Two days a week.
Sixteen slots. Wednesday 11:00–19:00 and Sunday 11:00–16:00, by appointment only. Post-surgery clients are booked as a series, so the earlier slots go first.

The roomHow post-surgery
sessions work
Your surgeon sets the plan. Elaine works to it — the number of sessions, the spacing, the starting point. Nothing here replaces or reinterprets your surgical team.
Book a sessionA consultation before the first session
Pre and post-surgery drainage always starts with a consultation, so the plan your surgeon prescribed is understood before any hands-on work.
The series, attended consistently
Post-operative clients typically follow a course of weekly sessions set by their surgeon. In Elaine's own words: the value comes from staying consistent with the treatment, not from any single session.
Afterwards, maintenance
When the course ends, most clients move to wellness lymphatic drainage, sculpting or Swedish massage on a rhythm that suits them — same room, same hands.
Seven treatments, one therapist

Pre & post-surgery drainage
Pre & post-surgery lymphatic drainage
A course of sessions that follows the plan your surgeon prescribed. Sessions begin once your surgical team has cleared you. Consultation required before the first session.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage
The same manual technique as an ongoing treatment for clients without a recent surgery — general fluid retention, or a regular wellness rhythm.
Swedish massage
Swedish / relaxing massage
Full-body relaxation work for general muscle tension and stress. Booked as a half hour or a full hour.
Body sculpting
Body sculpting massage
A firmer technique working on body contours and skin appearance as part of a regular routine rather than a one-off.
Wood therapy
Wood therapy
Natural wood tools used across the body to work on circulation and skin texture, usually inside a longer plan.
Cupping therapy
Cupping therapy + massage
Cupping combined with massage for localised muscle tension and circulation, as part of a broader treatment plan.
Signature treatment
Signature body treatment
Elaine's own combination — sculpt, drain, relax — bringing sculpting, lymphatic drainage and relaxation into one longer session.
Three things this studio will never tell you
Recovery work attracts a lot of promises. Here is what you will not hear on Stockwell Green.
“You'll see results after one session.”
Elaine's framing has not changed since day one: results come from staying consistent with the treatment, not from a single appointment. A studio that promises otherwise is selling you something else.
“You can start whenever you feel ready.”
When post-operative drainage can begin is your surgeon's call. The studio will not set that date, bring it forward, or advise around it.
“Here are the before and after photos.”
No measurement comparisons, no recovery timelines, no opinions on how your body is healing. That conversation belongs to your surgical team, and this studio keeps it there.
