Most businesses in South Jersey are built on a product or a service. Body to Soul Healing was built on something harder to quantify — a genuine belief that the body can heal itself when given the right support. Lori Somers has been proving that point since 2009.
Lori is a Licensed Massage Therapist based in Barnegat, NJ, and for 17 years she has been doing the kind of work most people don't find until they really need it. Not the chain-spa variety. Not a gift card treatment. Real, clinical, results-driven bodywork — for people who are recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic lymphatic issues, or simply ready to stop being in pain.
More Than Massage. Manual Lymph Drainage.
When most people hear "massage therapist," they think of relaxation. What Lori does goes considerably further. Her specialty is Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) — a precise, gentle technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, eliminate toxins, and accelerate the body's natural healing process.
MLD is not something you find at most spas. It requires specific certification and a level of anatomical understanding that separates a practitioner from a therapist. Lori has been doing it for years — and the clients who find her rarely go anywhere else.
"People come to me before surgery because they want to prepare their body. They come after because they want to heal faster and more completely. The results speak for themselves." — Lori Somers, LMT · Body to Soul Healing
Pre & Post Surgery. When It Matters Most.
One of the most meaningful parts of Lori's practice is working with surgical patients. Whether someone is preparing for a procedure or navigating recovery after one, MLD can make a measurable difference — reducing post-surgical swelling, improving circulation, and shortening the timeline back to feeling like yourself again.
It's the kind of care that doesn't always get talked about in a surgeon's office. But the patients who discover it — and discover Lori — often credit her work as a significant part of their recovery. That kind of trust isn't built in one session. It's built over 17 years of showing up and delivering results.
Deep Tissue. Cupping. The Full Picture.
Beyond lymph drainage, Lori's practice includes deep tissue massage, cupping therapy, and general therapeutic massage — a full toolkit for whatever a client is dealing with. Stiff from an old injury. Tight from sitting at a desk. Managing chronic pain. Body to Soul Healing addresses it all through a whole-body, personalized approach.
Lori works by consultation. She wants to understand what you're dealing with before she treats it — which means every session is built around you, not a menu of preset packages. That level of personal attention is increasingly rare, and it's a big part of why her clients stay.
