As I promised, here's the happy news! Blue Door now has a new team member! May I present to you, Tom Atkinson - a nurse and certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist.
In case you've missed all the social medial buzz about lymphatic wellness and are wondering if this is something you need, here's a quick run-down:
If you feel sluggish, swollen, or just "heavy", your lymphatic system might need a reset. It’s the glow-up secret everyone is talking about. Manual Lymphatic Drainage isn't a deep tissue massage—it’s a feather-light technique that works with your body to:
- Reduce Swelling: effectively targets water retention and puffiness.
- Detoxify: Helps your body flush out metabolic waste and toxins.
Boost Immunity: Supports your immune system by keeping fluids moving.
- Support Deep Relaxation: The rhythmic, gentle strokes calm the nervous system and lower stress.
Whether you are looking to optimize your wellness, enhance exercise recovery, support post-surgical healing, or manage symptoms of autoimmune challenges or chronic pain like fibromyalgia, MLD offers a targeted, evidence-based solution.
Here's what Tom has to say:
"I bring three decades of nursing compassion and high-level medical experience to every MLD session. As an RN, I’ve seen how the body heals and where it struggles. I chose to specialize in lymphatic care because I believe in therapies that support the body’s natural ability to recover. My nursing experience ensures that your treatment isn't just relaxing—it's therapeutically sound and tailored to your specific health history."
INTRO RATE through JAN 31 - 90 min, $100
Availability this week: Wed 12/31, Sat 1/3
