When people ask me about why I started my therapeutic massage practice, I often tell them that it was to work with fluids in the body. I learned during my own health journey the value of receiving a foot zone treatment to reset my systems and impact fluids to overcome my chronic fatigue. I then decided to become a foot zone practitioner to help others find the same relief. As I expanded my knowledge about the functioning of the body systems, I knew I needed to attend massage school to learn more about lymphatic drainage massage and CranioSacral therapy. These two therapies more than any others can influence the flow of the fluids that travel around the body and bring positive changes in creating our healthiest selves.
CranioSacral Therapy - CranioSacral therapy examines the membranes and fluids that surround, cushion, and protect the brain and spinal cord. By monitoring and releasing restrictions within the cerebrospinal fluid, we can clear congestion and relieve tension in the central nervous system, increase mental clarity, eliminate pain, and promote a feeling of well-being.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage - The lymph system carries fluid, nutrients, and waste materials between the body tissues and the bloodstream. Bacteria, viruses, toxins, and debris that induce an immune response are removed from around cells and neutralized in the lymph nodes. A healthy lymph system is essential for fluid circulation and immune functions of the body. Lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the lymph system to work more effectively, to promote a healthy immune system, to remove stagnant fluids from tissues, and to reduce swelling and inflammation from an injury or surgery site.
