Words don’t do justice for those who served and died, but they are in our hearts today.

Heading up north to see my mama, so I’ll see you next week. (Need a lymphatic massage? Please jump on my schedule, because I’m booking out through next weekend.) Thank you!

Walking is one of the best and simplest things you can do for lymphatic health. Unlike the heart, the lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump — it depends on movement, muscle contraction, breathing, and hydration to move lymph fluid through the body.
A steady walk helps by:
-Activating the calf and leg muscles, which act like pumps
-Encouraging lymph flow and circulation
-Reducing fluid stagnation and mild swelling
-Supporting immune function
-Helping the nervous system calm down, which can reduce inflammation
For clients dealing with lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, cording, vein issues, or general “toxic load” symptoms, walking is often recommended because it’s rhythmic and low-impact.
A few helpful guidelines:
*Gentle to moderate pace is usually better than intense exertion initially
*Consistency matters more than duration
*Deep diaphragmatic breathing while walking boosts lymph movement even more
*Supportive shoes are important, especially if someone has burning feet, neuropathy, or edema
*Compression garments (when prescribed) are often worn during walks for people with lymphedema or venous insufficiency
A practical goal for many people:
10–30 minutes daily
Even short walks after meals can help circulation and lymph flow
Some people also notice:
Less puffiness
Better energy
Reduced heaviness in the legs
Improved digestion
Note: If someone has active infection, severe swelling, unexplained pain, or cardiac issues, they should check with their healthcare provider before increasing activity.
For massage therapy clients, pairing walking with gentle lymphatic techniques, hydration, and breathing work can be very supportive.

I attended a talk with Holistic Psychotherapist Kelli Foulkrod last week. She was discussing alternatives to psychotherapy drugs, which was so interesting! It’s totally worth looking into her work at www.organicmentalhealthcenter.com.
She posted a slide listing some of the ingredients in the toxic soup we encounter every day. (I copied it here, FYI.)As I made note, it occurred to me that I’ve seen and done manual lymphatic drainage for each of the first seven items. The rest I’m not so sure, but my hunch is that MLD may compensate for exposure to EMF and the harsh light in our lives.
Lymphatic massage with the Vodder Technique is truly helpful in showing your body how to open the many pathways that lead to your lymph nodes, where all this stuff is filtered out. While MLD is very relaxing, the surge of lymphatic fluid is the dynamic “cleanse and flow” that your body may be craving this spring.

All my clients are different, but they all have one thing in common: they are here to get their lymphatic system moving. I could literally re-create this post every week and change it up in infinite ways based on all the nuances of the lymphatic system and how it plays in each unique body. I love my work, can you tell?

Mother’s Day is coming up and you know what she really wants? A day of pampering. A lymphatic massage is just the thing to relax and indulge your awesome mom.
Call me, Jen, and I’ll make it extra special!
