I have always wanted to try a lymphatic drainage massage and I must say it was the most unique and interesting massage I’ve ever had!
The entire massage is done with gentle pressure and a dry brush, which is the opposite of what I’m used to. At first I wasn’t sure what I got myself into but as we progressed into the 90 minute session I felt myself melting into the table. I felt calm and relaxed the entire time…maybe because I wasn’t worried about there being any pressure that was too deep or painful. The ambiance and music in the peaceful space, mixed with Jen’s explanation of what was happening made the experience complete.
I wasn’t expecting anything very different to happen afterwards but two things happened, exactly as Jen said they would:
1 - I felt a bit light-headed but in the best relaxed buzz kind of way.
2 - I definitely “released” some toxins (if you know what I mean) exactly 30 minutes afterwards and felt so “clean.”
I really wasn’t so sure about this massage as it was happening but the results were worth it!
