I suspect the facial lymphatic drainage I offer works with these same lymphatic pathways! An exciting bonus benefit to a simple treatment that already works wonders clearing the sinuses!

A groundbreaking discovery suggests that a simple face and neck massage could help the brain stay cleaner and healthier. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have identified a network of tiny lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin in the face and neck of mice and monkeys. These vessels drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which removes harmful proteins such as beta-amyloid, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Previously, scientists believed these vessels were located deep in the neck, making them hard to stimulate. But with special dyes and a new type of anesthesia, they found them much closer to the surface. To test their function, the team created a small device that gently stroked the animals’ faces and necks. Just one minute of this massage boosted CSF flow by nearly three times, with older mice showing fluid movement similar to young mice.

Early tests in monkeys reveal similar promise, and researchers have even identified comparable vessels in human cadavers. While more studies are needed, including trials in Alzheimer’s models, this gentle, non-invasive method could one day help people reduce brain waste buildup, potentially slowing age-related decline and lowering disease risk.

If you haven't heard the news yet, I am moving my massage services to my home office. However, I am not seeing new clients at my home unless you come with a strong referral from an existing client or you visit me first at my new public location - Lifetime in Lake Zurich. (Currently, I'm only there on Fridays from 9-2)
This post is largely to inform everyone that you don't need to be a member of Lifetime to use their spa and thus enjoy the perks of being a member for the day! To start, download the Lifetime app and book your appointment online. (My home prices are the same as listed here, but Lifetime prices will be as listed in the app.)

It's that time of year again, but this year I have an important PSA about the gift of massage. Please read on if you plan on buying a massage gift certificate from me or anywhere else!

Look, massage can benefit pretty much anyone BUT not everyone enjoys massage. What!? Crazy, I know! So, when deciding who to buy a massage for ask yourself these questions:
1) Have they ever expressed disinterest in massage, or is always too busy to get one?
While you may think they need it - this person will likely never get around to booking a massage. Sad, but true.
2) Would this be their first ever massage?
While you think they need it, this may be overwhelming for some people who need to work up the courage. Who knows when they'll be ready? And they might forget about the certificate before they're ready.
3) Do they have a tendency to lose gift certificates?
This might not be a good gift if they lose it 😭

But all is not lost! Here are the people who would love the gift of massage:
1) The person who already comes regularly! Treat them to continuing their self-health!
2) The person who says "I need a massage but my budget it tight! I wish I could go more often!"
3) Someone who loves massage and just needs that extra excuse to get in🥰

Happy shopping!🎄❄️
