"Whether I am gently and deeply working to relieve pain from scaring and edema, or simply supporting a challenged lymphatic system and encouraging a more vibrant level of health -  being a therapist is a wonderful path and I welcome you to my practice."

Amelia's Modalities

LYMPH DRAINAGE THERAPY

The cells of our body are immersed in a fluid environment where they receive their nutrients, grow, repair and die. The lymphatic system drains this interstitial area, transporting wastes, foreign bodies, and germs out of the body. Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) or Manual Lymphatic Drainage supports this system and is used to alleviate conditions such as swelling (edemas), chronic pain as well as to help regenerate body tissues. It is effective in stimulating the immune system, improves chronic infections and inflammations. LDT is especially helpful before and after surgery or dental work and is performed with a very gentle touch.

One special focus area of Amelia's LDT practice is with clients experiencing auto-immune diseases, arthritis, and Lyme disease. While the process is not fully understood, clients report significant reduction in symptoms, pain, and treatment side effects.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

"From my experience, most people need far more relaxation and stress reduction than focused deep tissue work and to this goal, I work with the whole body from a holistic viewpoint.

"Allowing the entire system to drop into a state of deep relaxation benefits the whole body, including areas of injury or pain. From a place of quiet relaxation, I then work into the depths of tight, painful, knotted muscles gently and slowly."
