A bit about me

My name is Jen, and my husband Tony and I moved to beautiful Burrell Creek NSW from the Sunshine Coast QLD. What are the benefits? Jen

Owned-operated by Jenny Hayward, a certified lymphoedema therapist specialising in manual lymphatic drainage/lymphatic massage that offers a wide range of health benefits. We bought a small block of land five years ago, overlooking the hills and are living on an off the grid shed house built by Tony, surrounded by veggie gardens and fruit trees which we have established. I love gardening, sewing, cooking, yoga, painting, Karate, and playing the piano. I worked at a Health Retreat on the Sunshine Coast about 20 years ago called 'Living Valley Springs', and completed a manual lymphatic drainage course run by Jill Griffith from the Weller Institute. Since moving to Burrell Creek, I have decided to work from home as a lymphatic drainage therapist. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmical skin stretching treatment to stimulate the circulation of lymph fluid around the body. This physical stimulation helps to rapidly speed up the removal of wastes and toxins from a sluggish lymphatic system. Manual lymphatic drainage can benefit people who are experiencing the following:

- lymphedema
- swelling or oedema
- skin disorders
- weight gain
- fatigue
- insomnia
- stress
- digestive problems
- arthritis
- migraine episodes

If you are feeling achy, sluggish, have minor pains, or become susceptible to colds and flus, it is most likely that your lymphatic system isn’t doing its job. A manual lymphatic drainage treatment is commonly used for its ability to:
- fight off infection
- speed up healing and recovery from the cold and flu
- reduce water retention
- boost weight loss
- improve cellulite, skin swelling, scar tissue, acne and stretch marks
- reduce stress and fatigue
- help with post exercise recovery

Tips

- Drink plenty of water before and after your massage, as it can cause you to become dehydrated
- It’ll leave you feeling pretty exhausted, so you’ll want to take it easy for the rest of the day.
- You can continue to keep your lymphatic system working properly by drinking lots of water every day. I look forward to meeting you, and helping you.

Rebounding & Lymphatic Health: Bounce Your Way to Better Detox!

What if I told you that one of the best ways to support your lymphatic system is as simple as jumping up and down? Sounds fun, right? Welcome to the world of rebounding—a low-impact exercise that involves bouncing on a mini-trampoline to boost your lymphatic flow, circulation, and overall health!

If you’re looking for an easy, effective, and super fun way to help your body detox, reduce swelling, and improve energy levels, rebounding might just be your new favorite workout!

What Does My Lymphatic System Have to Do with Jumping?

Your lymphatic system is like the body’s garbage disposal system—it removes toxins, waste, and excess fluid from your tissues, helping to keep your immune system strong and your body healthy.

Unlike your circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, your lymphatic system has no pump. Instead, it relies on movement, muscle contractions, and gravity to keep lymph fluid flowing. This is where rebounding comes in!

Every time you jump up and down on a trampoline, you create a gravitational pull that helps move stagnant lymph fluid, preventing it from getting “stuck” in your body. Think of it as a natural drainage system boost—and all you have to do is bounce!

Why is Rebounding So Good for Lymphatic Health?

Rebounding has been called one of the best exercises for lymphatic drainage because it works with your body’s natural detox process. Here’s how:

1. It’s a Natural “Pump” for Your Lymph Fluid

Each bounce helps stimulate lymphatic circulation, pushing toxins toward the lymph nodes so your body can filter and remove them efficiently.

2. It Helps Reduce Swelling & Water Retention

If you struggle with puffy ankles, swollen legs, or water retention, rebounding may help move excess fluid and reduce bloating.

3. It Boosts Your Immune System

By keeping your lymphatic system active, rebounding helps your body flush out bacteria, viruses, and toxins, making you more resilient to illness.

4. It’s Gentle on Your Joints

Unlike running or jumping on hard surfaces, rebounding absorbs impact, making it a low-impact workout that’s easy on the knees and back—perfect for all ages!

5. It’s FUN & Mood-Boosting!

Who doesn’t love jumping on a trampoline? Rebounding releases endorphins, reducing stress and improving mood. Plus, it’s a great excuse to act like a kid again!

How to Get Started with Rebounding

Ready to bounce your way to better health? Here’s how to do it right:

Step 1: Get a Rebounder

Look for a mini-trampoline with strong, supportive springs or bungee cords. A good quality rebounder absorbs shock and provides smooth, low-impact jumps. I have a good quality one I’d be happy to show you.

Step 2: Start with Gentle Bounces

You don’t have to jump high! Even a gentle up-and-down motion (without lifting your feet) helps stimulate lymphatic flow. Try bouncing for 5-10 minutes to start.

Step 3: Add Fun Moves

Once you’re comfortable, mix it up! Try:
Side-to-side bounces

Jumping jacks

Twists

Knee lifts

Step 4: Stay Consistent

For the best lymphatic benefits, aim for 10 minutes of rebounding a day. Even just a few minutes can make a big difference!

- Client testimonial -

“I come out feeling like a new person.”

I've been to Jen for lymphatic drainage many times and have always had amazing results. I sit at a computer all day 5 days a week and get a stiff back and shoulders so always look forward to my visit to Jen.

Her house is always so clean and quiet and relaxing, I always come out feeling like a new person and try to go every few weeks. Jen has a beautiful touch, she is quiet, caring and gives an excellent lymphatic drainage treatment and I cannot recommend her more highly.

If your home feels messy…
If your body feels heavy…
If your emotions feel close to the surface…

You are not broken.

You may simply be overwhelmed.

And overwhelm is not a sign of weakness.

Often it means you have been strong for too long without enough support.

Sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is pause.

To breathe.

To rest.
To soften.

Because healing does not begin with pressure.

Healing begins the moment you whisper to yourself:

“I deserve gentleness too.” 🌿

23/03/2026

Lymphatic congestion is functional, not permanent.

With the right support:
• lymph fluid can thin
• drainage pathways can reopen
• inflammation can reduce
• swelling can ease

Your body already knows how to heal.
It simply needs the conditions to do so.

18/03/2026

Where does all the puffiness go after lymph drainage?

It doesn’t just disappear into thin air!

Let’s talk about the magic behind your favourite lymphatic therapy!
You know that floaty, light feeling after your drainage session? That “I-can-see-my-ankles-again” moment? That “my-face-feels-snatched” glow?

Well… have you ever stopped and asked:
“Where does all the puffiness actually go?”

Let’s break it down

1. Puffiness = trapped lymph

That swelling or bloating you feel? It’s your lymph system waving a little white flag, asking for help. It’s a backup of fluid, toxins, immune cells, and waste that needs a proper exit strategy!

2. Enter: the drainage diva (aka your therapist!)

Using gentle, rhythmic movements I guide this backed-up fluid out of your tissues and into your lymph vessels — like opening the highway toll gate for traffic to finally flow

3. The journey begins: drain to vein

Once your lymph fluid is moving, it travels through your lymph nodes (your body’s detox hubs)
where it gets filtered. Think of these as tiny spa stations where bad stuff gets kicked out and good stuff gets processed.

From there, the clean fluid is returned to your bloodstream
and then sent to your liver and kidneys for even more detox magic and then flushed out of the body through urine, sweat and sometimes stools.

Yes, your lymph literally leaves the body when you p*e, sweat, or p**p!

4. Why you p*e so much after a session

So many of my clients run to the loo right after therapy — and that’s a great sign! It means your body is saying,
“Thank you!!, I’m releasing what I no longer need!”
Goodbye toxins

This is your system doing the work it was created to do — with a little boost from me.

When your lymph flows:
• Inflammation drops

• Your immune system gets stronger

• You feel lighter, more energized, and even happier!

• Puffiness says goodbye!

Your post-drainage checklist:

To keep those puffies away and keep your lymph flowing, remember:

Hydrate like a queen

Move your body (walk, bounce, dance — it all counts!)

Eat clean (anti-inflammatory foods are your BFF)

Breathe deeply

Pray and rest – even your lymph responds to peace

15/03/2026

Your body wasn’t designed to sit still for hours.
If lymph slows, it’s not failure — it’s feedback.

Small changes, done consistently, create big shifts in flow.

Your sitting position can either:
🔴block lymph flow
🟢support gentle drainage

Awareness + movement + breath = lymph support you can do anywhere.

12/03/2026

You simply have two brilliant fluid systems — one for oxygen, one for detox — and both want to support you. They just need to be understood in their own unique language.

When blood flows, you feel energized.
When lymph flows, you feel light.
When both flow, you heal. 💛🌿

10/03/2026

Your feet might be the furthest thing from your head, but when it comes to immune function, inflammation regulation, and fluid balance, they’re front and center. A healthy lymphatic system starts from the ground up—and that includes your soles, toes, and ankles.
So next time you stretch your feet or walk barefoot in the grass, remember: you’re doing your whole lymphatic system a big favor.

🌿🕊️ Fascia & Lymph: Why Tight Fascia Makes You Swell
By Bianca Botha, CLT | RLD | MLDT & CDS – Lymphatica - Lymphatic Therapy and Body Detox Facility

Most women think swelling is only about fluid — too much salt, hormones, heat, stress, or inflammation.
But one of the most overlooked causes of swelling is something deeper, more structural, and far more common:
Tight fascia.
Your fascia is a 3D web of connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, nerve and vessel in your body.
It is the framework that holds you together…
and one of the biggest influences on your lymphatic system.
When fascia becomes tight, restricted or dehydrated, your lymph cannot move.
And when your lymph cannot move, you swell.
Let’s gently explore this hidden—but powerful—connection.
🌐 What Exactly Is Fascia?
Fascia is a thin but incredibly strong layer of connective tissue.
It is found everywhere:
• under your skin
• around your muscles
• around your organs
• around your nerves
• around your blood vessels
• around your lymphatic vessels
Imagine a soft, stretchy bodysuit that surrounds your entire body.
Now imagine that this bodysuit has become stiff, dry or glued down.
That is what tight fascia feels like inside your body.
💧 Fascia and Lymph Flow Are Directly Linked
Your lymphatic vessels sit inside and between layers of fascia.
When fascia is healthy, soft and hydrated, lymph can glide through the tissues easily and drain waste out of your body.
But when fascia is tight, lymph vessels get squeezed — like stepping on a garden hose.
This causes:
• puffiness
• swelling
• water retention
• bloating around the ribs or belly
• heaviness in the legs
• breast tenderness
• tight shoulders and neck
• “stuck” swelling that doesn’t move
If your fascia is tight, your lymph cannot drain.
🧊 What Makes Fascia Tight?
So many everyday things stiffen and dehydrate fascia:
• shallow breathing
• stress
• sitting too long
• emotional tension stored in the body
• lack of gentle movement
• poor posture
• previous injuries
• dehydration
• inflammation
• cold exposure or cold foods in sensitive people
This is why women often say:
“I didn’t even do anything — why am I swelling?”
Because fascia tightens quietly, slowly… and then your lymph feels the consequences.
🧘‍♀️ How Tight Fascia Shows Up in Your Body
Here are the subtle signs:
• ribcage that feels “locked” or hard
• shoulders pulling forward
• tension under the breasts
• stiffness in the neck
• shallow breathing
• bloated upper belly
• swelling that worsens by the afternoon
• pressure when you twist your torso
• pain when stretching the sides of the body
These are not random symptoms.
They are fascia asking for softness.
🌿 How Fascia Restriction Creates Swelling
When fascia stiffens, it:
• reduces space for lymph to move
• compresses lymph nodes
• limits diaphragm function
• restricts the ribcage
• traps inflammation
• reduces circulation
• slows detoxification
Your lymphatic system relies on gentle, rhythmic motion.
Fascia is the “terrain” it moves through.
When the terrain becomes rigid, lymph stagnates.
This is why fascia work can be transformative for swelling — not because it “breaks down fluid,” but because it restores the pathways through which fluid must flow.
💚 Beautiful Ways to Soften Fascia & Support Lymph Flow
No force.
No pain.
No aggressive stretching.
Your fascia responds to warmth and gentleness, not pressure.
Here are methods your body loves:
• slow, deep breathing
• gentle ribcage expansion
• slow fascial stretches
• warm showers (not cold)
• soft twisting movements
• MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage)
• gentle yoga or mobility work
• hydration with electrolytes
• emotional release and nervous system regulation
When fascia softens, lymph moves.
When lymph moves, swelling melts.
🕊️ A Final Loving Truth
Swelling is not always a “water problem.”
Often, it is a space problem — your tissues simply don’t have enough room for fluid to move.
Your fascia holds your story — your stress, your posture, your emotions, your protection patterns.
But with softness, warmth, breath and movement, it can let go.
Your body is not failing you.
Your fascia is protecting you the only way it knows how.
And with gentle support, it will release.
When fascia softens, the whole body begins to heal. 🌿💛

Why do my legs feel so heavy?

After a long day of working, your legs will be tired because of the lack of movement.
When you’re standing or sitting for hours, your circulation slows down making it harder for blood and lymph to flow properly. This leads to swelling, heaviness, and that “dragging” feeling in your legs.
The good news is: movement, hydration, and regular lymphatic drainage can help you feel light again.
