Lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system works with the circulatory and immune systems through a network of vessels, nodes, and organs. The human body contains 400-700 lymph nodes. The lymphatic system has it’s own rhythm likes the waves of the ocean.

Lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage is the natural function of the lymphatic system, which is an essential part of immunity. Unlike the cardiovascular system it does not have a built-in pump. This happens naturally through hydration, movement, exercise and massage.

As a trained lymphatic therapist I work in harmony with the body’s natural rhythms, gently guiding the lymphatic fluid with very light pressure toward functional lymph nodes.
