I gave myself a wood therapy session today, and let me tell you—it was so easy and fun to do! As I started working on my legs, I could immediately feel how tight my muscles were and how wound up my fascia had become. Keep in mind, this is a superficial massage—it’s not meant to go deep at all. But even with gentle pressure, the results were incredible.
As I continued the session, I began to feel everything loosen up. The tension started to melt away. Not only could I feel the blood flowing more freely, but I could actually see it. My skin began turning red, which is a normal and healthy sign that fresh blood is circulating to the surface, flushing out stagnant flow and bringing in oxygen and nutrients. There was so much movement happening just beneath the skin—and that’s exactly what we want.
Then the fun part began! I started guiding and shaping my skin and the fluid beneath it in upward strokes, following the natural pathways that lead to the lymph nodes. I was moving the fluids in the direction they’re meant to drain, while also contouring my body into the shape I envision for myself—more defined, more lifted, and more vibrant. No harsh pressure—just intentional, rhythmic movement.
In the final video I took, you can clearly see the difference. The leg I worked on looked lifted, smoother, and more toned. My knee had more definition, the back of my thigh looked fuller and less dimpled—like the skin had been plumped from within. The untreated leg, on the other hand, looked dull in comparison—stagnant, unshaped, and lacking that healthy, contoured look. The difference in lift, tone, and definition was so obvious, even after just 10 to 15 minutes!
I truly enjoyed every second of this mini session. It reminded me how powerful even a short self-care practice can be. Ladies, this technique isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about reconnecting with your body, improving circulation, supporting your lymphatic system, and feeling good in your own skin again.
I’m so excited to have you on my table this summer. Let’s get healthy, sculpted, and sexy—because you deserve to feel confident, radiant, and deeply cared for. 💕
