I work with you to make sure the muscle groups are functioning efficiently, and the neural pathways is speaking to the body in a harmonious way so that muscle movement happens and is sustained.

This advanced light treatment is used for healthy muscle, repairing muscles, and restoring skin. The red, blue, and infrared lights penetrate deep into the tissue, with precision, into the select regions having had liposuction.

Microcurrent Therapy

Reiki Therapy is a ancient Japanese practice that clears and harmonizes the energy patterns in the body. As a result, the body's inherent healing capacity enhance, helping to foster ideal physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

This type of massage can minimize swelling, enhance circulation, and bolster your body's defenses. Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with swelling, or just want to feel better, lymphatic therapy might be the solution you're looking for.

What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized kind of massage that focuses on your lymphatic network. The lymph system is a network of structures and tissues that help your body get rid of toxins, toxins, and other unwanted materials. It also helps your body's defenses fight diseases.

How Does Lymphatic Therapy Work?

The lymphatic system doesn't have a pump like the heart to move lymphatic fluid around. Instead, it relies on physical activity and breath work to keep things moving. Sometimes, though, the system can get congested or slow down. This can happen after surgery, during illness, or if you're not very mobile.

Lymphatic Drainage helps by:

  1. Promoting Lymph Flow: The gentle movements stimulate lymph to move through your body.

  2. Decreasing Swelling: By boosting circulation, it can decrease swelling in areas like your limbs, legs, or head and neck region.
