Post-holiday bloat, fatigue, puffiness, and brain fog are often signs that the lymphatic system is overloaded.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, targeted technique that:

• Supports detoxification
• Reduces swelling and inflammation
• Boosts immune function
• Calms the nervous system

Your body does the healing - this simply helps it move what’s stuck.

Book a 90-minute bodywork session to give your body the boost it needs. We can focus on lymphatic drainage massage and add in any other supportive therapies to tailor your care to YOU 🙌

✨️ New Client Testimonial ✨️

"I had the most incredible holistic body session today with Amanda! From the moment we began, she truly listened to my needs and intuitively worked with my energy. My nervous system felt soothed almost immediately, my tension gently calmed and released.

I walked in with a headache and severe brain fog and both were relieved quickly. I felt deeply grounded, centered, and balanced, yet at the same time felt energized, clear, light-filled with high energy and spiritual Zen. I can't wait for my next session! Highly Recommend!!!"

Thank you, Carrie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So often, we find ourselves at a point of feeling lost or overwhelmed.

Layers upon layers of stress have built up, and now we can physically feel the effects of that within our bodies.

So how did we get to that point?

Well, most likely, not enough time was spent connected with your soul. The humble and intelligent part of our total being.

This is why meditation, journaling, relaxation therapies, and meaningful activities are talked about so often in the wellness world.

They are necessary tasks to be able to commune with our higher selves and receive the answers we need (not always necessarily we want).

✨️"Your soul knows exactly what it's doing. It's your human that gets in the way. Be still and listen."✨️

Here's the difference...

The mind is the part of us that is simply playing out the different thought patterns that have been imprinted and strengthened over time. It's the Ego. The reactive part of ourselves.

The soul is our essence. The thing that is connected to the all of the everything. It's our ability to see beyond the programming, the mundane stresses, and the trivial matters in life. It is humble, wise, and calm. This our joy, our passions, and connection to love.

But like the quote said, you need to be still and listen. You won't hear the wisdom through the noise of the mind.

So let me ask you this...

What are you favorite ways of pausing throughout the day and connecting in?

Welcome to the first full moon of 2026! Buckle up buttercups - this year is going to be a wild ride! 🔥

With 2 full moons in May, 2 eclipse seasons before September, and the fast intensity of the new Chinese New Year - The Year of the Fire Horse - yeaaa.. this year is going to be WILDLY different than 2025.

No more recoiling. No more hiding. No more solitude. Time to move forward. Time to RUN instead of rest. Time for unexpected life changes.

Things like new jobs, new homes, new friend groups, new interests are all very normal for this kind of energy, so slap on a smile and enjoy the unexpected roller coaster you're about to ride! ✌️

And when your nervous system needs some help regulating through this change... you know where to find me!

This image is a great visual explanation of how fascia actually behaves in the body, and why working only muscle or only surface tissue often misses the real issue.

I’ll break it down layer by layer...

1️⃣ Top image (the simplified (but inaccurate) model)

This is the old-school anatomical view most people were taught:

▪️Skin
▪️Fat
▪️Muscle

Everything looks neatly layered, separated, and independent.

⛔️ What’s missing here:
Fascia is not shown as a living, continuous system. This model implies that pain or dysfunction is isolated to a single layer - which we now know is false.

2️⃣ Middle image (fascia as a connective web)

Here we see the real picture emerging:

▪️Fascia is everywhere
▪️It weaves through skin, fat, muscle, vessels, and nerves
▪️It forms points of tension, densification, and restriction (circled areas)

❗️This explains why:

▪️Pain shows up far from the original injury
▪️A “tight muscle” won’t release with stretching alone
▪️Emotional stress creates physical holding patterns

3️⃣ Bottom image (fascial lines & tension chains)

This is the most important part❗️

Instead of isolated “knots,” we see:

▪️Fascial lines (continuous tension pathways)
▪️Restrictions in one area pulling on distant tissues
▪️The body behaving like a tensegrity structure, not stacked parts

⚠️ Key insight: Fascia doesn’t fail locally — it fails systemically.

👉🏻 A restriction under the skin can:

❌️ Distort muscle function
❌️ Compress nerves or vessels
❌️ Alter joint mechanics
❌️ Disrupt proprioception (balance)
❌️ Dysregulate the nervous system

So many health issues stem from Fascia restrictions. Try holistic bodywork to get back on track 🙌

The body doesn't experience life in a compartmentalized way. Physical, emotional, and energetic layers are always interacting. One cannot operate without the other.

Shouldn't your bodywork be the same? All-inclusive vs. a limited experience = very different results.

When therapies are intentionally combined, healing becomes more efficient, more embodied, and more sustainable.

But don't worry, it's not your job to know which therapies you need - that's mine!

After listening to your presenting symptoms, wellness goals, and health history, we create a catered plan of care to get you where you want to be - pain-free, rejuvenated, healthy, and happy ✨️

Choose from 60 or 90 minute Holistic Healing Sessions to get started 📲 Book online to get started!
