LYMPHATIC CLEANSING BODYWORK

This type of bodywork facilitates increased flow of lymphatic fluid and utilizes food-grade essential oils to assist in detoxifying the lymphatic fluid.

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system, detoxification system, and fluid balance system of the body. It recycles fluid, and as it does so it also detoxifies all that is unwanted in the fluid, such as metabolic waste, toxins we take in, and pathogens. The fluid travels through the lymphatic vessels and through lymph nodes along the vessels, and is returned to the blood stream to be furthered cleansed by the detox organs (liver, kidneys, etc.). 

Modern lifestyle unfortunately impairs the lymphatic system for several reasons. First, we live very sedentary lives compared to how our bodies have evolved to live. The lymphatic system, unlike the circulatory system, does not have its own pumping organ. It is mainly circulated by muscle contraction throughout the body. So less movement/exercise = less muscle contraction = less lymphatic flow. Secondly, we are inundated with toxic manmade chemicals that overwhelm our lymphatic system. From low air quality, to lead, mercury, PCBs, pesticides and so on, our lymphatic system sometimes needs help to keep up.

Some signs of lymphatic system impairment include feeling heavy or weighed down, fatigued, feelings of tightness, restriction, soreness or stiffness, and swelling not due to acute injury. It can also manifest as skin issues, headaches, brain fog and many, many other symptoms. 

Lymphatic cleansing bodywork can help manage allergy symptoms, decrease chronic inflammation, pain, fatigue, improve sleep and skin condition and so much more.

Most clients feel an immediate improvement in how they feel after the first session, especially an increase in energy and feeling of lightness.

Sessions are $80/hour.

Session lengths: 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
