Hello folks, hope you're enjoying your summer so far! I know lots of folks are still being COVID conscious, and just a reminder that I am here to support you. My studio has a large window that we can leave open, and I'm always happy to wear a mask while you receive work. HEPA filters are going in the studio and the home at large. Feel free to message me If you'd like to know about some of our risk reduction add-ons as well.

Celebrate Pride by getting a massage by a q***r 💕

Spring is in the air! And with it comes the urge to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. But before you hit the trails or head to the beach, be sure to schedule a lymphatic drainage massage.

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that helps to move lymph fluid through the body. Lymph fluid is a clear fluid that carries white blood cells and other immune system components throughout the body. When lymph fluid is not flowing properly, it can lead to a variety of health problems, including:

Swollen lymph nodes
Edema (fluid buildup)
Fatigue
Headaches
Muscle pain

Lymphatic drainage massage can help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system. It can also help to relieve pain, improve sleep, and reduce stress.

If you're looking for a way to feel your best this spring, shoot me a message to schedule a lymphatic drainage massage today!

We're back, people! Send me a message to get a session on the books, the summer is heating up and so is my schedule.

Like many of my clients, I have sensory sensitivities. Scent can be a particularly strong one, so I only use scent free laundry detergent and never wear scents while working. We can also have the window open for maximum air flow and fresh air.

Have other sensory concerns? I'll talk about more going forward, or send me a message and we can chat.

Schedule update! I will be unavailable for the first 2 weeks of May. If you want work, schedule now to get in before I go or once I'm back. 💕

Feeling particularly blessed to do this work today, as friends and loved ones reach out with hope and trust to collaborate on healing together. Want to chat about what that could look like for you? Send me a message, consultations are free and happily given. 💕

Soapbox time:

I'm not here to hurt you. Massage shouldn't hurt. You shouldn't have to hold your breath, go elsewhere in your brain, or wish for the experience to be over.

I don't want to work like that. 1) The research shows that it's not beneficial. 2) It is harder on my body! 3) In my opinion, it's unethical.

Part of our culture is the belief that anything worthwhile has to be hard. That's not true. Let's find ease, working *with* your body, not against it. Together, we'll use breath, awareness, and focused, specific work to help your body get back to where it wants to be.

No pain, no gain? No way.

Who can benefit from Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy?

Basically, if you have a lymphatic system, it'll benefit you! (If you don't, the medical community will like to see you immediately 😁)

The most common reason to seek out MLD is swelling. If you struggle with swelling, either chronic or post illness/surgery, you're going to see immediate benefits as we work together to help your body process the stored lymphatic fluids.

In addition to being deeply relaxing and gentle, MLD has been shown to be incredibly helpful for those with auto immune disorders, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma. Since MLD is literally mechanically assisting the lymphatic system, it is going to support the function of the immune system, to which is intrinsically linked.

Who else benefits from this kind of work? Stay tuned, or message me today to talk about how MLD would benefit you.
