node & needle grew out of Carrie Riley's earlier Cincinnati practice, Cincinnati Massage for Mental Health, which used bodywork to support clients with anxiety, grief, trauma and emotional overwhelm. The clinic was founded on trauma-informed care and later expanded into lymphatic health, surgical recovery, breast cancer care and paramedical tattooing.
The business combines lymphatic and manual therapies with nervous system regulation. Its signature method is NeuroSomatic Lymphatic Drainage™, developed by Carrie Riley, which focuses on swelling, inflammation and nervous system regulation. For clinical lymphatic care, the clinic recommends NeuroSomatic Lymphatic Drainage, Lymph Magic or Reset Ritual. Lymphatic health is described as including movement, breathing, muscle activity and rest, not only hands-on drainage.
Pricing also varies by therapist tier and length of service. Breast cancer care covers recovery after mastectomy, lumpectomy, breast reconstruction and other breast cancer treatments, and the clinic offers its own Recovery & Renewal™ care pathways in series of 4, 8 or 12 sessions with personalized scheduling and account credit that does not expire.
The Terrace Park clinic at 614 Wooster Pike is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to 8:00pm and Friday from 8:00am to 2:00pm, and is closed on weekends. Brazilian Body Sculpting and Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage are offered there. The Milford studio at 1110 Main St offers paramedical tattoo services, including 3D areola tattooing and scar revision, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00am to 2:00pm. The Terrace Park office welcomes clients from Greater Cincinnati and nearby communities such as Indian Hill, Mariemont, Madeira, Loveland and Montgomery.
Gift certificates and packages can be bought in person or online, and payment plans are available through Cherry. Memberships provide monthly account credit with discounts on services. The business also describes a planned Lymph Lounge space, listed for early 2027, with 30 and 60 minute sessions using PEMF or vibroacoustic therapy and no hands-on treatment.
node & needle combines lymphatic and manual therapies with nervous system regulation, based on the view that physical and nervous system health are closely connected. Clinical lymphatic care and breast cancer recovery draw on lymphatic drainage, breast cancer rehabilitation and massage therapy.
