Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gently rhythmic modality that stimulates the lymphatic system and simultaneously quiets the nervous system. The rhythmic and repetitive nature of this treatment produces deep relaxation while supporting the immune system and clearing out inflammatory metabolic waste. Using the gentlest application of slow, methodical circular motions paired with soft sweeping and pumping motions MLD pushes stagnant lymph for reduction of inflammation.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet profound modality of body work that releases tensions deep in the body and central nervous system to relieve pain and dysfunction as well as improving whole-body health and performance.  The cranial-sacral system is comprised of the cranial bones, central nervous system, spine, sacrum and spinal nerves.  By guiding and gently manipulating theses structures, significant changes can be affected throughout the body.

There is a tidal rhythm generated from the craniosacral system which has been called the body's primary respiration and can be felt throughout the entire body.  When the body experiences chronic pain, fatigue or general depletion, this rhythm becomes diminished.  By gently manipulating the cranial bones, deep and fundamental shifts can occur to encourage a return to the natural rhythm of health and balance.  This balance ripples out through the body in the form of deep relaxation, pain relief and overall improvement of health and well-being.

Polarity Therapy is an energetic healing modality that uses gentle yet penetrating touch to create harmony in the body's electromagnetic meridians.  When these energies are in balance, the body's natural healing wisdom is stimulated to restore itself.  This creates an opening for more optimal health, rejuvenation and deep relaxation.  Polarity therapy uses gentle muscular manipulations, holding, stretching and rocking techniques, and the stimulation of reflexive points. 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, CranioSacral Therapy and Polarity Therapy are gentle enough to be appropriate for all ages and health conditions.  They complement each other very well and are useful in providing relief for conditions such as:

  • Chronic pain, fatigue, or illness; including symptoms of brain fog and depressed immune functioning

  • Pre-and-post surgical care to target pain and inflammation due to orthopedic procedures, gender affirming procedures and other cosmetic procedures

    • Note: I am an LMT/CLT, and certified to perform MLD on people who have compromised lymphatic functioning (due to oncological surgeries or clinical lymphedema).

  • Acute musculoskeletal pain, including post injury or post surgery

  • Neck pain, TMJ

  • Insomnia

  • Migraine and other headaches
