My Focus Areas:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Method) 

• Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (Chickley Method) 

• CranioSacral Therapy

• Breath work  

Irrespective of the technique I use, the work is in essence a gentle approach grounded in listening.

Healing after surgery

Manual lymph drainage can help with healing after surgery. This technique assists in regeneration of cellular tissues to reduce scarring, reduction of swelling and detoxification of the body. *Do make sure the client has been medically cleared before giving the treatment.

Improved Immune system

The immune system is tied to the lymphatic system. In fact, if the flow of lymphatic materials slows down, the immune system weakens. Lymph drainage can improve the function and increase the production of antibodies that fight off infections as well as reduce systemic inflammation.

Relaxation

Lymph drainage is especially relaxing because the slow, methodical rhythm, pressure and repetitive movements/motion allows the brain to relax and elicit the parasympathetic nervous system to slow the heart rate, increase glandular activity, reduce pain and promote general vitality and wellbeing.

Decongestive Effective

Any swelling of the body, except for cardiac or renal oedema, can be treated with manual lymphatic drainage. The lymphatic system is a ‘one-way street’ to transport cellular waste from tissue and dispose back into the circulatory system.

Reduction in Swelling and Fluid Retention 

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is particularly effective at reducing swelling, bloating, and fluid retention in areas such as the legs, abdomen, and face. This can lead to a more sculpted appearance.

Enhanced Detoxification 

By promoting the movement of lymphatic fluid, the massage may support the body’s natural detoxification processes. This can help remove waste products and toxins from tissues, potentially improving overall health.

Improved Skin Tone and Texture 

Some individuals report improvements in skin tone and texture after lymphatic drainage massages. The stimulation of lymphatic flow may help remove impurities and enhance the skin’s radiance.

Enhanced Circulation 

The massage can improve blood and lymphatic circulation, which may help with nutrient delivery to tissues and the removal of metabolic waste products.

Pain Relief 

Some individuals with conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic pain report relief after lymphatic drainage massages.

Reduction of Puffiness

Lymphatic drainage techniques on the face can reduce puffiness, particularly around the eyes, giving a refreshed and youthful appearance.
