Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body's ability to operate at peak performance. This system drains fluids, detoxifies and regenerates tissues, filters out toxins and foreign substances and helps us maintain a healthy immune system. If lymph circulation stagnates however, toxins accumulate and compromise cellular functioning, which opens the way to physical ailments.

Lymphatic Drainage therapy is an advanced therapy using a range of specialized and gentle wave-like movements to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels that carry substances vital to the defense of the body, and removes waste products.

Benefits of lymphatic drainage massage therapy:

reduces edema, local puffiness
stimulates a sluggish immune system
enhances cellular level immunity
enhances the beauty and health of the skin
deeply relaxing and soothing
reduces scar tissue

Lymphatic drainage massage can be combined with other techniques:

cellulite massage to speed the removal of toxins
sports massage to speed the healing of injuries
deep tissue massage to reduce post-session soreness and swelling
facials to enhance the skin from the inside and outside
body-mind work to produce a deeply relaxed state for inner work
detoxifying treatments to speed the removal of cellular garbage

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of
evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological
body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
