The Ultimate Pre-Event Prep: How to Sculpt, De-Bloat & Glow Before a Big Day

Got a wedding, photo shoot, birthday, or girls’ weekend coming up? You’ve picked the outfit, booked the hair—but what about your body?

Whether you're walking down the aisle or hitting the town, this is your guide to looking and feeling your absolute best. Because yes, you can sculpt, de-bloat, and glow without starving yourself or doing back-to-back bootcamps.

Here’s how.


1 Week Out: Start Your Sculpt + Drain Routine

This is where your lymphatic system becomes your bestie. Bloating, puffiness, and that “blah” feeling often come from fluid retention—not fat.

What to do:

  • Book a body rolling session to activate your lymphatic system and reduce fluid buildup

  • Add infrared heat to stimulate circulation and smooth the skin

  • Stay hydrated and eat clean to help your body flush waste

Our clients often say they feel lighter and visibly leaner after just one session (and they’re not imagining it).

3–5 Days Out: Tone + Tighten With EMS

EMS (Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation) is the secret sauce if you want that extra “snatched” feeling without killing yourself in the gym.

One 30-minute session = the equivalent of 20,000+ crunches or squats (yes, really).

What to do:

  • Book your First-Time EMS Sculpting Session

  • Target your abs, glutes, or thighs for extra lift and tone

  • Combine with body rolling for a total-body refresh

1–2 Days Out: Glow-Up Mode Activated

This is when you want to feel calm, confident, and ready to shine.

What to do:

  • Book one last lymphatic massage session to de-puff and get your glow on

  • Avoid salty foods and alcohol (they’ll undo your hard work)

  • Hydrate, stretch, and maybe get a good night’s sleep (you’ve earned it)

You’ll wake up looking—and feeling—like the polished, radiant queen you are.

Bonus: What to Wear

For your sessions, wear comfy, fitted activewear (like leggings + crop tops). You’ll be moving on the roller and lying still for EMS, so stretch is key.

Bring water and keep it chill—you’ll leave feeling amazing.
