Feeling tight, tense, or stuck in the same aches day after day? Your body isn’t asking for more force — it’s asking for awareness.

🌿 Melt stress and stiffness
🌿 Improve posture and mobility
🌿 Boost body awareness and calm
🌿 Move with comfort you forgot was possible

Whether you’re new to mindful movement or looking to reconnect with your body, somatic classes offer a simple, relaxing way to feel better from the inside out.

Your body will thank you. 💚

A pause is not a stop; it’s a space to breathe, reflect, adjust, evolve.

Real talk, the past 2 years have been a struggle for me.

There have been a multitude of challenges, realizations, adjustments, lessons, ups and downs, and growth in my personal life.

Juggling kids, daily life, my own mental health and self journey, multiple jobs, and a business I’ve been trying to grow on my own has been a lot.

I know that my services are a luxury to many and finances are also tight for many lately. Unfortunately, that makes business tough for me.

Because of this, starting the end of December, I will no longer be offering in person sessions at Quietude (aside for some special date exceptions).

Remote services for distance reiki, oracle reads, and chakra balancing will still be available on geminisoulwellness.as.me

I am considering offering “in your space” sessions but I need to sit with that idea a bit more yet.

I have received a wonderful opportunity for part of my business that I will be directing my focus towards starting in the new year.

Starting January 5, I am offering a variety of yoga classes at The Fight Farm!

Stay tuned for a post next week with the schedule which will include noon hour express yoga, mom & tot yoga and mindfulness, hatha yoga, and a new fun class - yoga: rock!

✨ The Black Friday specials are still available until 11:59pm tomorrow for in person and remote sessions booked for December! *Must be booked by 11:59pm January 2 to get the deal.

Where Does the Lymph Go After Drainage?

From Puff to Flush—Your Body’s Hidden Detox Highway!

Hey Lymphies!
Ever wondered what actually happens to the lymph after your MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) or dry brushing session? Where does all that puffiness and extra fluid go? Let’s take a journey through your body’s magical drainage map—because the flow doesn’t stop at your skin!

First Things First—What IS Lymph?

Lymph is a clear-ish fluid filled with:
• Water
• Proteins
• Cellular waste
• Immune cells
• Bacteria, viruses, and toxins

It’s like your body’s wastewater, and your lymphatic system is the plumbing network designed to collect it from your tissues and send it packing!

The Drainage Route (The Fun Part!)

After you stimulate your lymphatic system (through MLD, exercise, rebounding, or infrared saunas), here’s what happens step-by-step:

1. Tissues → Lymph Capillaries
Lymph fluid is collected from between your cells (where waste builds up). Think of this as your body picking up trash from every neighborhood.

2. Lymph Capillaries → Collecting Vessels
These vessels have valves to push lymph forward (like a one-way street!). They move it toward central lymph nodes.

3. Nodes → Filter Party!
Lymph passes through lymph nodes, where it gets filtered. Immune cells here attack bacteria, viruses, and debris.
It’s like your lymph goes through a security checkpoint!

4. Cleaned Lymph → Ducts
Filtered lymph travels to the thoracic duct (left side of your neck) or right lymphatic duct—the final stop before exiting!

5. Ducts → Subclavian Vein
Here’s the magic moment!
The ducts drain the lymph directly into your bloodstream, at the base of your neck, where the subclavian vein lives.

6. Bloodstream → Kidneys + Liver
Now the filtered lymph becomes part of your circulating blood. From here:
• Kidneys filter out water-soluble waste → p*e it out!
• Liver handles fat-soluble toxins and waste → p**p it out!

And voilà!
Your lymph just became waste… and left your body.
Flush complete!

That’s Why You Might Notice…
• More p*eing after a session
• Increased bowel movements
• Feeling thirsty
• Fatigue (your body is processing the detox!)
• Reduced swelling or puffiness

So YES—you’re not imagining it. The flush is real.

Fun Lymphie Facts:
• You have 500–700 lymph nodes in your body!
• The thoracic duct drains around 75% of your lymph!
• Your lymphatic system can move 1.5–3 liters of lymph per day with the right support!
• No heart? No pump! The lymph system depends on movement, breath, and pressure (that’s why you NEED to move!).

Support the Flush:
• Hydrate (lymph is mostly water!)
• Move daily (walking, rebounding, stretching)
• Breathe deep (diaphragmatic breathing helps move lymph!)
• Massage & MLD
• Eat clean (to reduce toxin load)

So, Where Does It Go?

In simple terms:
Lymph → Blood → Kidneys/Liver → Toilet!
Your body is brilliant. And your lymphatic system? Even more so.

So the next time you finish your session and head to the loo—give a little thanks to the silent flow keeping you well.
