About Marta C.
What is Marta C.?+
Marta C. is a holistic aesthetic and wellness center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with more than 25 years of experience between Colombia and the United States. It specializes in manual body treatments: lymphatic drainage, post-surgical recovery, its own Molding 5 in 1 technique, sports massage and prenatal and postpartum massage.
Where does Marta C. see clients?+
In Elizabeth, New Jersey, and nearby (Union, Linden, Hillside, Roselle and other Union County towns), always by appointment. The exact location is confirmed when you book.
How did Marta C. start?+
It started in a community hall in a small town in Casanare, Colombia. Its founder, trained in aesthetics and as a nursing assistant, wanted a place where every client was treated with respect and care. The brand grew in Colombia and now serves clients in New Jersey.
What makes Marta C. different?+
Its own technique, Molding 5 in 1 (100% manual and organic), a 7-step assessment protocol before any treatment, a body-mind-spirit approach, and honesty: no magic promises.
Do you help with recovery after cosmetic surgery?+
Yes. Post-surgical care, built on manual lymphatic drainage, supports recovery after liposuction, BBL or a tummy tuck, always following the surgeon’s instructions.
How do I book?+
On WhatsApp or by phone at +1 (908) 570-0757. Care is mainly in Spanish.
Do I need an appointment?+

We see clients in Elizabeth, New Jersey, including people from Union, Linden, Hillside, Roselle and nearby towns. The exact location is confirmed when you book.
Will I get my figure back?+
You can get close to the shape you want — with discipline. Results come from consistent sessions, good food and movement. We do not promise miracles.
Do I need to come back?+
Yes. Results hold by coming back regularly. We will tell you how often for your case.
What if I had surgery recently?+
We do a full assessment before any post-surgical treatment and always follow your surgeon’s instructions. If you have not had surgery yet, message us beforehand and we will plan your schedule together.
What language do you work in?+
Care is mainly in Spanish, warm and close like family.
Lymphatic drainage
See the treatment →Does lymphatic drainage hurt?+
No. The pressure is very light; most people find it very relaxing.
Does lymphatic drainage make you lose weight?+
It removes fluid, not fat. Your shape looks more defined and the scale may drop a little, but it does not replace healthy eating or exercise.
How is it different from a regular massage?+
A regular massage works the muscle with more pressure. Lymphatic drainage works the fluid under the skin with minimal pressure and a very specific rhythm.
How many sessions do I need?+
It depends on your assessment. For maintenance we recommend regular sessions; after surgery several sessions in a row are usual, as your surgeon advises.
Where do you do lymphatic drainage?+
We see clients in Elizabeth, New Jersey, always by appointment, including people from Union, Linden, Hillside, Roselle and nearby towns. The exact location is confirmed when you book on WhatsApp.

No. It is 100% manual and natural.
Does it use chemicals?+
No. It is an organic treatment.
Is it the same as a body-contouring (reductive) massage?+
Not exactly. Besides sculpting, it works on inflammation, muscle tension, fluid retention and your emotional state at the same time.
How many sessions do I need?+
It depends on your assessment and your goal. Results hold by coming back regularly.
Will I get my figure back?+
You can get close to the shape you want — with discipline: consistent sessions, food and movement.

Sports massage
See the treatment →Is sports massage stronger than a regular massage?+
It usually has more pressure, but it always adapts to you and the moment — before a competition, for example, it is lighter.
Do I have to be a professional athlete?+
No. It is for anyone who is active.
Can I train afterwards?+
It depends on the type: a pre-event massage is designed for competing afterwards; after an intense maintenance session, give your body some rest.

Facial molding
