What is the lymphatic system ?
The lymphatic system is a circulatory system made up of lymph vessels, which are much like blood vessels. It drains extra fluid (called lymph) that has passed out of the blood and into tissues and returns it back to the blood.
How does massage benefit this system ?
Massage, particularly lymphatic drainage massage, benefits the lymphatic system by using gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the movement of lymph fluid, helping to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the tissues. This process aids in detoxification, reduces swelling and fluid retention, supports the immune system by promoting the circulation of immune cells, and can improve overall health and well-being.
Other benefits ;
Aids in digestion
Boosts immune function
Reduces stress and anxiety
Eases PMS symptoms
And a new study has also revealed that lymphatic massage can also decrease brain fog and reduce your chances of a stroke.
Have you ever tried a lymphatic massage ?

When Clients come in with aches and pains ..I immediately asks them the following questions ;
What could have possibly triggered it ?
How long has it been lingering ?
Was there any swift movement to the area ?
Is there an underlying past injury ?
Following these question’s we then proceed with light pressure then add more pressure to see what they are comfortable with.
I am very cautious about adding more pain to the injured area ..the goal is to get the muscle to relax.💪
I sometimes use various tools and trigger point therapy .
As the saying goes “ different strokes for different folk’s”☝️
I find it can relate to massages in a humorous way yet very literal.
I’ve had Clients that say “ you have the perfect pressure “ or “ a little deeper please “
I normally start a massage feeling the bone and muscle structure of the client and then ease my way in with different techniques.
I’ve realized my style may not be for everyone but people do feel very relaxed with me😌
I work every single area of the client’s body ..
But before I start I ask “ are you okay with head, face and stomach ?” As most people find these areas sensitive . I love passing my hands along the jaw line and neck and stomach as these areas hold stress ..
I can detect stress levels if the stomach isn’t relaxed or if there is lock jaw.
Most that come always return and say I have a gift.
I think once you find your skill , you should strengthen it. I’m always furthering my education in massages 💆‍♀️
I love understanding the mechanics of muscles.
I also love aromatherapy and using essential oils when necessary.
My goal is to always.. make you feel better ❤️‍🩹

I love beginning a massage ..feet first 🦶
It helps me feel the Clients body temperature and what is going on with them internally . Those that don’t know ..your feet are connected to all of your organs.
I sometimes sense what people have eaten, tension in their upper back / lower / and sometimes their neck and head. I also really love massaging the face and head .. where I’m able to sense if someone grinds their teeth and carries tension from the jaw line down to their neck and shoulders ..
I love what I do and my hopes are always that I make people feel better than when they came in.
I view feet as the base of the human body ..
We walk many grounds and at the end of the day we literally want to put our feet up.
Feet sometimes tell a story …and most say, I have a gift when I touch people .
your feet , your hands and your mind will always take you places ..
And I hope one day ..Sole To Soul Therapy will be the place for you to settle all three 💆‍♀️

How do you celebrate yourself ?
Is it only on special occasions you treat yourself to a massage or a vacation ?
What honestly eases your mind from the busy world ?
I see my Client’s faces as I gently massage their head’s…it’s as though they have been holding on to so many unwanted feeling’s and thoughts.
I see their eyes slowly blinking , their lips taking slow breaths and I feel their jaws unclenching in my palm’s.
I try my hardest to make every client feel relaxed, wanted and celebrated while they are in my presence.
I even send them off with an incense or tea bag.
It’s more than providing a service to people ..I want you to celebrate the ups, the downs and mostly yourself .
I love hearing about your week; your good days and your bad days. I also find it’s the kindest thing when Client’s treat me like family …
We become so close over time …and this too is celebrated with the kindness going back and forth .
Just for Today .. treat yourself with Kindness, an act of self love . Take those deep breaths in a safe space and if it’s with me ..remember , I celebrate you too ❤️

Today I decided to answer most of the question’s I’m frequently asked…here it goes☺️

“ How many massages do you do in a day ?”
- I genuinely can not do more than 3, I also space my Clients out ..I give myself time to have a coffee, eat a snack and just settle my mind 😌

“Do you ever get tired ?”
Yes..I do, but I love what I do and once I find my rythm with a client ..it doesn’t feel like I’m working 😌

“How long have you been a massage therapist?”
I’ve been practicing almost 15yrs 🤯

“ who massages you ?”
I love giving this answer ..
I don’t have a massage therapist 🥲

Do your hands hurt ?
my wrist sometimes hurt so I sometimes switch to my elbows and tools during a massage..I naturally have a flow and listen to my body 😇

“What is your favorite massage to do?”
I genuinely love doing deep tissue massage but I have a love for doing Reflexology 🦶

“ where did you learn massage therapy ?”
I learnt massage therapy under the best teacher Karen Hinds, who is still teaching and is currently working

“ what made you get into massage therapy ?”
When I was a child ..I use to rub my great grand mother’s feet and she told me I have a gift, her words always stuck with me 🫶🏻

hope you enjoyed my replies.. love always , Steph 💆‍♀️

For every ache my Clients have ..I try my hardest in taking it away. I’m not a magician but it’s important to me that they feel better walking out than when they came in. Being a massage therapist is such a calming and light job .. for me at least ..I can’t speak for others .
It also offers me calm while I work ..I think of how the person laying next to me is feeling and hope I add some peace to their day.
I love hearing the “ oohs and aahs” it’s gives me re-assurance , sometimes the little snores and twitches feels like a hug to my soul .
I feel blessed I have client’s that believe in me and always choose me . Their session’s are mainly focused on the problems I’ve gotten to know, if they come with a new problem I try my hardest to make sure it’s gone.
I love offering a safe space ..we sometimes chit chat and it feel’s like my Clients have become family .
I make sure my space and my mood is exactly what they are looking for ..Sometimes when I’m down..I take a few deep breaths and listen to the calming music before ..this put’s me into rhythm.
I have to say ..I cherish every single one of you ..and in coming to Sole To Soul Therapy ..and choosing me you make my little heart happy 💝
