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.
