Lymphatic Massage: A way to clear the clutter in your body

Have you been feeling tired or sick? Have you been traveling a lot this summer in the car or on planes? Has there been more stress in your life? Or, have you decided to let go of an old way of being and live a more energized, optimal way
of being? Lymphatic Massage is a wonderful way to de-clutter the body of toxins from the foods we eat, the environment that surround us, and even stress (physical, mental, emotional) that may throw our bodies and minds off balance.

The Lymphatic System works with the Immune System of the body as a detoxification system. We have many lymph node stations in the body that collect and move anything toxic or foreign out of the body. The toxins leave our bodies through mucous, sweat, and when we go to the bathroom. Unlike the Circulatory System, which has the heart to pump the blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, the Lymphatic System relies on stimulation through exercise, breathing, and, of course, massage/bodywork.

A Lymphatic massage will boost your immune system, give you more energy, and release any pain or discomfort in the body due to trauma (i.e. car accidents, surgeries, grief and loss). It also helps you process through a time of transition or change because when we worry or feel a little depressed, our bodies, especially the Immune System, are effected.

Lymphatic massage is my specialty and I have benefited tremendously from this work myself. If you would like more information or to book a Lymphatic Massage session, contact me today: 415-637-5825 or lizsfilippone@gmail.com.
