Can we talk about what lymphatic drainage actually does? 👀

I see so much content out there focused on contouring and “instant slimming” results, and I get why! it’s eye-catching! (A girl wants that every now and then~)

But that’s not really what this work is about, and I think it’s worth being honest about that.

When I work on someone, sometimes you’ll see areas look less puffy and more defined — that’s lymph moving, fluid decongesting, things draining the way they’re supposed to. But sometimes what you’ll see is areas looking softer, fuller, more relaxed — and that’s not a bad thing either. That’s tension and adhesion releasing. That’s tissue that was gripped and tight finally getting to let go.

Both of those are signs the work is doing what it’s supposed to do. Neither one is “more correct” than the other.

My goal with manual lymphatic drainage (and even with my vacuum sessions) isn’t to chase a specific aesthetic outcome. It’s to support what your body already knows how to do~ circulation, drainage, release.

Sometimes that looks like depuffing. Sometimes it looks like softening. Sometimes both, in different areas, in the same session.

So if you come in expecting to walk out looking dramatically smaller and instead you feel lighter, less tense, more like yourself…that’s not a miss. That’s the work 🤲🏻

PART 2 – Strain Counterstrain: Occiput Release 🙌

If you missed Part 1 — Strain Counterstrain (SCS) is a gentle, hands-off technique where we find a tender point, move the body into a position of EASE (not pain!), hold it for about 90 seconds, and slowly return to neutral. This allows the nervous system to reset and the muscle to finally let go of that protective contraction.

In this video I’m working on my OCCIPUT — the base of the skull — which holds SO much tension, especially if you carry stress in your neck and upper back. I’m finding that position of ease and letting the tissues release on their own. No forcing. No stretching. Just ease. ✨

Now — full transparency — because I’m doing this ON MYSELF, some of the surrounding muscles are still slightly contracting just to hold me in position. Ideally, YOUR whole body stays completely relaxed while someone else does the work. That’s where I come in. 👇

As your massage therapist, I can hold YOUR occiput in that position of ease while YOU stay completely neutral — no compensating, no holding yourself up. That’s when the real magic happens.

At the end of the video you’ll also see me using 2,000mg CBD oil (.by.bex )to help keep the muscles calm and relaxed between sessions. A few quick CBD facts:

🌿 CBD (cannabidiol) is derived from h**p
❌ Zero THC — no psychoactive effects
💆 Supports muscle relaxation and reduces inflammation
😴 Can help calm the nervous system naturally

Your body deserves to fully let go. Come see me and I’ll help it get there. 🤍
