How to do Self Lymphatic Drainage

Hello Dear One!

Have you heard of lymphatic drainage massage before?

Or even experienced it?

Many have an awareness about it’s immune boosting and detoxifying effects.

The lymphatic system is a BIG part of our immune system, unfortunately it not only moves SLOWLY (due to not having it’s own pump like the circulatory system), but it can also become sluggish or backed up in certain aspects of our body.

Receiving lymphatic drainage is a wonderfully supportive idea, but being able to keep the flow up to a faster degree is a SMART way to stretch your investment.

If you either want to aim to extend the life of your lymphatic drainage treatment – do this.

Or if you’d like to give yourself a little extra boost AND protection at this moment in time – do this.

Check out the video for the demo.



Quick Full Body Self Lymphatic Drainage

AND if you are in need of pain relief or some immunity amplification with a lymphatic drainage session – please schedule here.

We will be continuing to see people through this time, and continuing to adhere to the universal precautions that all licensed massage therapists have committed to uphold.

Love to all, and take care of you.

The deal with pregnancy is that it is a BIG physical undertaking!  

And the truth is the stronger and healthier the body is going in – and the more you aim to MAINTAIN that level of tone and ability the longer you will stave off discomfort.

Meaning the solution is typically STRENGTH.

Pain, Pain, Go Away

Hello Dear One,

If you’ve been one of the countless humans on the planet that wrestles with lower back pain – LISTEN UP.

In so many situations with muscular discomfort the culprits are:

Primarily – STRENGTH

Secondarily – POSITION

Strength is always Numero Uno, but the truth is you can also get away with much with EXCELLENT body positioning (or posture).

And…if your body IS strong, but you insist on slouching up a storm – there will be a point of no return in that position = PAIN.

TWO QUICK TIPS:

Strength: do lower back extensions like in this video.



Lower back strengthening

Position: stick out your butt and pick up your chest = gets joints over joints and takes stress off of smaller muscles.

And if you need more instruction or a foundational plan for your body to prevent pain or create more strength in it – check out my ebook Power & Pain, or the 2 session in person training version of the same.

AND LAST but not LEAST…

VALENTINES DAY!

If you’ve yet to make a special plan, perhaps you’ll spend the weekend with us.

Couples Combination Massage and Reflexology Sessions are happening Saturday 2/15 and Sunday 2/16.

We’ll be filling the room with candlelight, scattering surfaces with rose petals, and making sure you enjoy some dark chocolate covered strawberries following your treatment to seal the sweetness of the experience.

Would love to have you.

Hello Dear One!

Have you felt the mounting pressure of, “too much”, especially in this holiday season?

The nature of this time of the year is that there IS more going on!

And when an abundance of additional things are taking place, sometimes it can feel hard to keep up with typical supportive habits.

This short video is a gentle acknowledgement that sometimes putting MORE on one’s plate TODAY – can simply be too much. 

It’s also a firm push towards seeing what IS possible and to capitalize on your tendencies, vs fall victim to obstacles outside of our control.

In a season of much merry, you deserve to feel the most joyful in it.

The better we treat ourselves (inside and out) the better we’ll look, function, and feel.
