Q: What is the Lymphatic System?

A: The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels, organs, and tissues that plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid retention, immune function, and fat absorption. Imagine it as the body's drainage system. Blood vessels deliver nutrients and oxygen to tissues, but some fluid leaks out. The lymphatic system collects this excess fluid, now called lymph, and returns it to the bloodstream. As lymph passes through lymph nodes, it filters out any waste. This is critical for our overall health, as this filtration is necessary for the body's function and our well-being.  

Q: What are the benefits of manual lymphatic drainage?

A: It is very effective in reducing fluid buildup in the body and stimulating the lymph flow which in turn helps with our immune system.

Q: Who should get MDL?

A: Anyone recovering from surgery, with approval from your doctor; those with autoimmune disorders, excess swelling, and lymphedema patients (level 0-2).

Q: What aromatherapy do you offer, and what are they good for?

Q: Will I be sore after a massage?

A: It is possible to be sore after a massage depending what was worked on and how much pressure was applied. Any pain or discomfort will subside with in a day or two, it's best to drink plenty of water and take an Epsom salt bath. 

Q: What should I be doing to prolong the effects of my massage?

A: The best way to extend the benefits of your massage is to stretch daily, drink plenty of water, and not wait longer then a month in between massage appointments.  

Q: Do I have to completely undress? 

A: No, you can undress to whatever your comfort level is. The only part of the body that is uncovered is the part I'm currently working on then it is recovered and I move on, you will never be exposed in any way. 

Q: How much water should I be drinking in a day?

A: You should be drinking half your body weight in ounces of water every day in order to stay properly hydrated.
