Right now, my Lymph Massage offering is primarily for people who are detoxing or have some minor pathologies* in their body. The use of Lymph Massage for systemic issues such as recovery after surgery or treatment of cancer will be coming in October of this year. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle rhythmic pumping movement, in the direction of lymph flow, to increase lymph movement. Since MLD is a superficial skin technique, it is very effective for skin problems, general clea...

I  have completed my study of Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy with Roger Gilchrest, MA, RPE, RCST®, and Mimi Ikle-Khalsa, RCST®, LMT.  I am now an  RCST®!

First, let me say, I love working with the feet, hands and head. As you may be able to see, there is a map of the entire body on the feet (and hands, and even ears and teeth!). Our bodies are so amazing. So this means we can indirectly work with any part of the body from the feet and/or hands. And the work at the feet and/or hands and/or head, can relax the whole body, reducing the tension and strain that can be contributing to pain, stiffness and other discomforts. And ...

Myofascial tissues, are continuous and omnipresent in the body, and interweave and wrap muscles, and every division within the muscles.  Where there is chronic or acute pain, limited or difficult range of motion, ongoing stress and tension, there may be myofascial tissue which needs to be released and relaxed.  I will apply deep pressure over the length of a muscle or set of muscles, or a slow holding of the muscles while the muscles release.  I will check in with you about pressure to ensure it...
