Simple lymphatic tip: doing an inversion pose, otherwise known as getting your legs up the wall. This allows gravity to go to work by promoting circulation with increasing blood flow and reducing swelling/puffiness. This is great if you notice your legs/ ankles/ feet are looking a little bit fluffy by the end of the day. Getting your legs up is a calming way to allow your body to move into a parasympathetic response to begin unwinding the body and prepare for sleep. This can be additionally helpful if you struggle to calm your mind at night.
If you're new to inversions, begin practicing for 5 minutes. As you become more familiar and comfortable, work up to 20 minutes. Use this time to practice breath work, to pray, to appreciate silence, or pair it with Binaural Beats in alpha frequencies [8-13HZ range]. These particular frequencies can help to increase the body's ability to relax and decrease anxiety.
To get into an inversion or the wall pose, sit as close to an empty wall as possible. Sit on the floor with your feet on the ground and your left side against a flat wall. Slowly lower your back to the floor and put your feet flat against the wall. Gently wiggle your body closer to the wall until your sit bones are against the wall, and your legs are vertically above you with both legs above your hips.
* avoid during menstruation, pregnancy, high blood pressure or glaucoma

Our bodies aren't making the melatonin we need to sleep when there is constant interruption from
too much artificial light from cell phones, EMFs from electronic devices, eating too late at night, and so many other disruptions to healthy sleep cycles.

This creates a problem of being too low in melatonin and too high in cortisol at the wrong times.

To combat the problem, people take a "melatonin" supplement [a hormone already made by the body] without ever working on what causes the problem in the first place and addressing how to fix sleep cycles....

While there are several ways to begin fixing sleep cycles- one way is through massage. Bodywork encourages the release of a hormone called serotonin that makes us feel good. It is serotonin that is a precursor to the hormone- melatonin- that helps us to fall asleep. Regular monthly massage can play a role in helping to facilitate healthier pathways to better sleep.

Do you struggle with healthy sleep cycles? Have you tried massage? Let's talk about how I can help you create long-lasting progress in improving your sleep cycles with bodywork, and addressing emotions and habits that get in the way of healthy sleep.

Massage by appointment only. Book online at the link on my bio or DM for availability! Mesa location

Is this you? Do you identify with any of these symptoms?

Do you know this is me too? Are you surprised? I'm a therapist. Surely I have the perfect operating lymph system, right?

The truth is that we all can struggle with having healthy lymph due to many controllable and uncontrollable factors from the foods we eat/what we put on our bodies [controllable] to our environment [chem trails/vehicle pollution, chronic illness to name a few [uncontrollable].

I am a kidney transplant patient who lives a holistic lifestyle but must take toxic anti-rejection medications to stay alive and keep my kidney, therefore congesting my lymph system. I know firsthand how the body feels when the lymphatic system is not operating efficiently.

That's why I'm so focused on helping others not only better understand their lymphatic system but also to recognize when it needs a little TLC.

Manual massage of the lymph is a wonderful kickstart to addressing the symptoms with stagnation in the lymph. It DOES make a big difference by moving fluid so that organs of the body can effectively eliminate the toxins, and you CAN have more optimal health.

Have you tried lymphatic movement yet. What questions do you have? DM or comment. Links in bio to book.

1. Clove oil benefits

Who doesn't love the spicy•sweet•woodsy•" scent of cloves. Did you know that it has some very specific benefits to not only your physical health but your emotional health, too? Let's check out 3 important ones:

1. The eugenol in cloves is soothing for toothaches and has an anesthetic ability to help nerve pain from sore gums and even dental infection. Mix a drop of clove oil with a 1/2 tsp coconut oil and rub on gums. Healthy teeth and gums are an important part of overall health.

2. Fungus and parasites spread throughout the body and not only weaken the entire immune system but also lower resistance to disease and chronic digestive issues. Addressing fungus and parasites with specific herbs with a functional holistic practitioner, along with a drop clove essential oil on the bottoms of feet at night , is a key part of healing.

3. Lastly, clove oil properties help to decrease negative emotions and increase the ability for a more positive outlook. When essential oils are breathed in- the molecules travel from olfactory nerves right to the brain - specifically to the amygdala-the emotional part of the brain. Additionally, it supports memory, focus, and fatigue. Clove is a wonderful support tool to anyone who is doing the work of healing from trauma.

This is a powerhouse oil- I use it not only for myself and family but also in somatic bodywork sessions with clients. Connecting to our innermost parts as humans is where our healing begins. For more on healing therapies and essential oil support comment or PM me !

The emotional benefits of Gua Sha are rooted in bringing the body into a state of homeostasis [balance] by activating a parasympathetic [rest/digest] response.

Piggy-backing off my previous post-on how emotions show up as pain, suppressed emotions create a "roadblock" when they're left unchecked and ignored. Things like anger, resentment, irritation, fatigue, guilt, shame, and insecurity. When our emotional needs are not dealt with our physical body suffers. Our skin breaks out, or digestive system is disrupted, menstrual cycles get irregular. We feel "off", get sick more easily, anxiety increases.

Gua Sha brings stimulation to the fluids in the body- the movement guides blood, and lymph to flow which helps release physical toxins and in turn emotional ones.

Where are you "stuck". What parts of your emotional being are bound up in your physical being?

I invite you to try the gift of letting go through Gua Sha.

When you feel pain - especially when it's repetitive - take a deeper look at the connection: here's some correlating factors to consider:

▪︎Shoulders: burdens & responsibility
▪︎Neck tension: fear and repressed expression
▪︎Upper Back: grief sorrow and sadness
▪︎Middle Back: insecurity and powerless
▪︎Low back: unworthiness, guilt, and shame
▪︎Stomach: inability to process emotions

Trauma Recovery Coaching combined with Somatic Touch massage is a wonderful tool to use in connecting the parts of ourselves that are buried deep and filled with pain.

A somatic massage can be a helpful tool to develop bodily awareness, creating a passage of information between the brain and the body.

In trauma, we often shut down the parts of us that feel to create a sense of "safety" for ourselves and operate in survival mode.
Somatic massage plays a part in releasing trauma stored in the body,l as well as regulating the nervous system.

Gentle Gua Sha, along with lymphatic movement, is a form of somatic massage that focuses on helping the release of muscles, fascia, and lymph that is intertwined. These massage techniques allow oxygen and nutrients to flood the tissue, giving the body the ability to heal and repair physically but also on an emotional level.

I invite you to experience somatic touch massage as part of your trauma healing journey.

Circulation of the blood is an essential bodily function as it supplies vital organs of the body with enough oxygen and nutrients needed for optimal health. Dry brushing stimulates the circulation of blood. Thus, the act of dry brushing allows pores to open in the exfoliation process. Dry brushing allows the process of detoxification of your skin and promotes lymph flow and drainage.
•••
Beginner process:
Dry brush the body by making long, sweeping strokes in the direction of the heart so you are working with the body's lymph flow. The lymphatic system, which helps to rid the body of toxins and waste, only travels in one direction.
•••
Small, gentle, short, or circular strokes beginning at the feet & ankles working up the legs [inside and out] toward the heart, continue on hips and buttocks, clockwise around the abdomen and gently across the chest, repeat process on arms forearms to shoulders , perform gently on inside of arms toward the armpits. Dry brushing 1 to 2 times a week will allow your body to see and feel results.
* it is contraindicated to dry brush over open wounds, with infection, blood clots, or skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis*

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotions and physical health go hand in hand. There is a dynamic loop where emotions affect health of the body and vice versa. When we feel emotions we assign thoughts and/or physical sensations with it. This is where the mind and body’s interconnectedness comes into play. If we process those emotions properly moving on from it can happen, but if the energy of the emotions is not properly processed, they can become trapped in the body and can manifest physically with pain, illness, as well as dis-ease.

Traditional Chinese Gua Sha can play a role in loosening stuck emotions by stimulating the movement of fluids. It allows the guiding of blood, lymph and Qi [energy] to move through the channels [meridians] in our bodies by using the Gua Sha tools, facilitating a release of what is stuck. It is this facilitation of clearing away stagnant physical toxins that can help clear the emotional ones and work toward achieving homeostasis [harmony] in both our body's physical and emotional healing.

I invite you to try the art of Traditional Chinese therapy of Gua Sha with me.

Hello • welcome to my page. I'm so glad you stopped by. As you can see, this is a brand new page, so I'm here to introduce who I am and what I offer.
I am a licensed massage therapist specializing in Lymphatic Drainage Detox and Gua Sha. I chose certification in these modalities because my work focuses on not only the physical pain a body can carry but also the meridians by which toxins - both physical and emotional - are stored. I use these modalities of lymphatic and gua sha to address pathways that have become stagnant and blocked. In addition, I am certified in PTSD considerations, allowing me to work with clientele who are going through deep anxiety, depression, fear, trauma, and mental health difficulties. I am graduating the end of January with my certification in trauma recovery coaching which plays a unique role in helping clients overcome deep trauma from abuse, death, divorce, medical care, health issues and much more.
I hope you'll stick around and grow with me. Give this post a like and I invite you to follow and share.

Have you tried our therapies... In addition to Gua Sha and Lymphatic we also offer

PEMF [Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field] Therapy. We utilize the best with Tesla Wellcare to target pain at its origin- shoulders, upper, middle and low back, hips. Helps reduce pain from arthritis and inflammation. Increases ATP [adenosine tri-phosphate: energy carrying molecule]. Strengthens the immune system among other multiple studies proven for its effectiveness!

Phoenix Waveform: A neurology based therapy for functional electrical stimulation. The Waveform re-educates and amplifies the neuromuscular connection. In muscle contraction a signal must be sent from the nervous system. If there is a disruption in the signal the body begins to adapt compensation patterns that become detrimental to movement and lead to pain and dysfunction. I help find and treat those "hot spots" which are usually nor near the pain sites but are the key to helping repair the injury. We often use this therapy for Plantar Fasciitis, mobility with Cerebral Palsy, Sports Injury and general injury, among other chronic and acute conditions.

AS ALWAYS: Your 1st session of PEMF or PhoenixWave is always free!!!
