Today is National Lymphedema Day! Let’s bring awareness to this condition. If you book a Manual Lymphatic Treatment this weekend you will receive a complimentary gift.

Tristan Tocila was born with primary lymphedema, a disorder that causes swelling in the left side of his body and his right foot.

20 years ago I graduated from Foothills College of Massage Therapy. I was a bit unsure how long I would last in this field, as it has a high burnout rate, I never expected a 20 plus year career. I continue to love what I do, everyday there is excitement in the air when a client arrives. Today I will celebrate the journey it’s taken me on so far, and all the great clients I have met along the way. Thank you for all the support along this journey.

I hope everyone gives themselves some self love today! Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day. The relationship you have with yourself is the foundation for everything you do in life so on this day of celebration of love take time to love, accept and appreciate the beauty of YOU.

I’ve always felt that the most important relationship we can have in our lives is the one we have with ourselves, but this feels even more true after all that has transpired over these past 12 months.

I ask you today to spend some time with yourself, honoring and really taking care of your body and mind.
Here are some ways that I practice self-love:

"For me, self-love is…

…connecting with myself on a daily basis

….setting feel-good boundaries

…practicing healthy and clear communication

…speaking my truth when called to do so"

Here's a link to read more on how you can practice self-love and regain your confidence, patience, and love. https://bit.ly/3roGLl0

Wishing you a day filled with love. Remember you deserve love as much as anyone. ❤️ Michelle Maros

I’ve had the opportunity to train from Dr. Vodder School, and cant wait to help more clients!

Modality Monday!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage or MLD was created by Dr. Emil Vodder and Estrid Vodder.

Practitioners use a light touch when they massage, following the flow of the lymph towards the heart. There are five basic techniques: stationary, rotary, thumb circles, pumping and scooping.

MLD helps reduce swelling and has some analgesic effects. Some practitioners are trained to help manage lymphedema, wounds and other skin conditions.

26/10/2020

MLD and CDT combined are perfect for treating lymphedema. Approximately 20% who had lymph nodes removed in the armpit due to breast cancer will develop lymphedema. Lymphedema most commonly develops within the first 3 years of surgery, however can develop years later.

Our email is down. We are working on resolving this issue. You can reach me on here or call/text 780-974-8807

More changes in the works! Any guesses on what it is?

Canadian Cancer Association has made October Breast Cancer Awareness month. Being trained in Oncology Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) are both very beneficial to cancer clients. The first Thursday of every month I offer free oncology massage to clients under going or have a history of cancer. I give a free treatment, but I receive so much more than I give, and that is why I do this. Attached is a link to my associations blog on massage and cancer. https://www.nhpcanada.org/blog/articles.html?id=100&title=Massage-Therapy-for-Breast-Cancer-Patients

Yoga and massage are great for healthy body maintenance, and work very well together. There is a local class starting this Wednesday morning at Carvel Hall, with instructor Mary. Here is a link to Carvel Hall Yoga http://www.carvelhall.org/programs.html

It is common knowledge that practicing yoga has some physiological and mental benefits, but what do these benefits entail?
