Lymph Drainage

Lymph drainage is a very gentle hands on method of freeing the flow of lymph and encouraging the effectiveness of the lymph nodes.  

The lymphatic system is a most marvelous part of our bodies.  It is integral to our immune system function, both with infection fighting and with auto-immune conditions.  Via our lymphatic pathways and lymph nodes, we detoxify (break down and render harmless) everything from spider bites, air pollution, industrial chemicals, and other environmental poisons, to internal congestion from inflammation, old and broken down body cells, and more.

Clients often seek lymphatic drainage for post-operation optimization, detoxification, mental clarity, chronic inflammation, acute or chronic Lyme disease, and pain.

I studied with Bruno Chikly, MD, who pioneered a way of working with the inherent peristaltic motion of each lymph vessel and node,  There is something very special about this level of respect and skilled attention to the tiny, beautiful movements of our bodies. Chikly lymphatic drainage sessions are sweetly relaxing...  Of all my techniques, clients are the most likely to fall asleep during lymphatic drainage sessions.

I am not certified to treat uncontrolled lymphedema at this time.  I can be a supportive adjunctive therapy for lymphedema clients who are also the under care of a certified practitioner.
