🌍💚 World Mental Health Day – October 10th 💚🌍

Today is a reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health. Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm can weigh heavily on the body and mind—but massage therapy can help bring balance back.

Taking time for your body is also taking time for your mind. This World Mental Health Day, let’s normalize prioritizing self-care—not as a luxury, but as a necessity. 💚

💧MLD vs. CDT - What’s the Difference?💧

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) are often talked about together, but they’re not the same thing!

🌿 Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD):
An evidence-based gentle, hands-on technique that stimulates lymph flow, reduces swelling, and promotes relaxation. It’s often used for wellness, recovery after surgery, or mild swelling.

🌿 Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT):
A full treatment plan designed for people with chronic lymphedema. It includes MLD plus:
✔️ Compression therapy
✔️ Exercise
✔️ Skin care
✔️ Education for self-care

🔑 Think of it this way:

MLD = the hands-on technique

CDT = the gold standard program that uses MLD as one part of a bigger plan.

Both support lymphatic health, but CDT is typically prescribed when there’s a medical diagnosis of lymphedema.

💆‍♀️ Whether you’re looking for gentle lymphatic support or need guidance managing lymphedema, a Certified Lymphedema Therapist can help walk you through your lymphatic journey. Contact our therapists today!

Off-site at Grace Adventures again this beautiful fall season! 🍁🍂
What I love most about doing these shorter events is the ability to share the gift of massage therapy with someone new to bodywork who otherwise may not have had the opportunity or the finances to sign up for a full session. These events are often full of many first-time clients who end up gaining a new understanding of the benefits of massage therapy, first-hand (pun intended!).

🌿✨ Our New Logo ✨🌿

We’re proud to share the new face of MI Wellness Center!

Our logo features a bold W — a symbol of strength and our roots here in West Michigan. Woven into it is the castor bean plant, chosen with intention: a plant known for its resilience and powerful role in supporting healing.

🌱 For us, it represents more than just physical recovery. It reflects the resilience of the mind, body, and spirit — and the strength of a community that grows stronger together.

Thank-you to Fine Artist Cody Kubiak for completing this beautiful representation.

As we expand from massage therapy into a broader vision of holistic wellness, this logo embodies who we are becoming: grounded, strong, and always healing.

We can’t wait to continue this journey with you, under the banner of our new name and symbol: MI Wellness Center.💛
