Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
“Within each of us there exists an invisible system that is continually working beneath the surface and is connected to every inch of our body,” Lisa Levitt Gainsley writes in The Book of Lymph “—tidying up and sending vitality and support to ensure that we are the most radiant and healthiest versions of ourselves. It acts like a garbage collector, sweeping immune cells through your body to weed out anything that threatens your well-being, making lymph your first line of defense against illness. Your lymphatic system is responsible for maintaining your fluid balance, which can help keep inflammation—an underlying factor in many diseases—at bay. It enables you to properly digest and eliminate food. It’s also what gives your skin its healthy glow.”
A typical treatment includes discussion of our lymph system and any concerns you have regarding illnesses/surgeries/injuries before we begin. I use my hands to feel and move fluid in specific directions, redirecting if needed. The work is subtle and gentle and activates the parasympathetic nervous system while flushing toxins out of your body. Depending on your goals, best results are felt+seen with multiple sessions paired with a bowel cleanse
