Sprout Massage Therapy

I’m a big believer that the energy you focus on, is the energy that you continue to see and bring in.

Waking up in a bad mood can turn into having a “bad day” if you don’t shift your perspective.

If you draw attention to being in a bad mood, it is more likely that negative things will happen throughout the day to confirm to your brain that you are in fact having a bad day!

Simply by shifting the focus to a positive, and changing your vibe can dramatically change the way your day goes.

It sounds silly, but there’s a song that I sing, and it really helps me to get in a better mood. Sometimes I have to sing it 4-5 times in a row and then again throughout the day to help keep them momentum going. But it WORKS. (For me)

What’s the worst that can happen, give it a try the next time you wake up in a bad mood or just struggling throughout the day.

Let me know in the comments if you felt a change by the end of the day 😊

You don’t like to drink water because it makes you P*E too often!

I have some helpful tips for that:

1️⃣ Don’t drink it all at once
Taking small sips throughout the day will help with ACTUALLY hydrating your body versus chugging it all down and having it go straight through you

2️⃣ ADD flavouring
You don’t like the taste of water? Then change it. Add some lemon, cucumbers, herbs, berries. Or even those drops/powers if you have to. DRINKING FLAVOURED WATER IS BETTER THEN NOT DRINKING WATER AT ALL

3️⃣Add electrolytes
This can simply be a PINCH of MINERAL SALTS to help boost the retention of the water you drink, slowing down the excretion. OR it could be an electrolyte powder, which usually contains a flavouring (double whammies tip #2)
Do be careful with this one. Not everyone can have extra salt in their diets and some of the electrolyte powders can contain HIGH levels of salt. Consult the doctor if needed.
* the salts and electrolytes that I like are linked in my bio

4️⃣ Drink your water at room temperature
I know a lot of people love that ice cold water feeling, but it is a proven fact that drinking room, temperature, water, or even warm water is absorbed better into the body. So if you’re trying to hydrate, try to avoid the ice water.!

Remember:
💫 b**r, coffee, and pop do count as hydration!!!
💫 staying hydrated is being better than dehydrated
💫 drinking flavoured water is better than not drinking any water at all
💫 add a pinch of salt to help you hold onto the water you DO drink

Hope this helps you stay out of the bathroom and STAY HYDRATED 🫶🏼

As the cooler weather sets in, the treatment room is getting HOTTER 🔥

For years my clients have joked about wanting to stay on the table and nap…WELL, now you can! 😂

The LIFEPRO INFRARED sauna bag offers the intense heat (up to 175°) and benefits of a regular infrared sauna, in a portable, space saving package. Making it a great addition to ANY treatment.

But what are the benefits??

- Muscle recovery
- Decrease stress
- Burns calories
- Increases sweating/detoxification
- Increases relaxation
- Decrease nervous system firing

How does it blends into your treatment?

Just book an extra 30 mins (90 mins if you usually book 60) and that extra 30 mins, post massage time, you are in the sauna bag. 🥵

I remain in the room while you relax into the warmth just incase you need water, feel unwell or it gets too hot.

⚠️ This add on probably IS NOT for you if you have : high blood pressure, heat sensitivity, certain medications, are pregnant, have metal implants, a bleeding disorder or become claustrophobic easily.

Let’s stay warm and healthy this winter with a little sweat 😅 sesh every now and then

🦠 Kids are back in school🦠 and that means illness is coming into the house 🤧 🤒 😷

Did you know that your lymphatic system is your first line of defence against illness, bacteria & disease?

Your lymph nodes are the very first filtering station that nasty bacteria hits when it enters your body.

A healthy/well functioning lymphatic system can go a long way in making sure that you don’t get sick over the winter! Or if you do, it is short-lived compared to taking you out for days or more.

If you have been doing your BIG 6 openers all summer, chances are you might fare well this winter.

If you haven’t been, then 💩, you might get sick🤷🏻‍♀️, but it’s never too late to start!

🚨 NOTE: if you are currently sick and/or have swollen lymph nodes, please DO NOT do your BIG 6 opening. The lymph nodes are currently doing their job by filtering out all that nasty bacteria, which is why they’re swollen in the first place.

However, if you are not sick right now, it is the perfect time to start so hopefully you can get through the cold and flu season unscathed

And don’t forget your children can be doing this too! Although HEALTHY CHILDREN DO NOT NEED TO OPEN LYMPH NODES, if your child does not have the best diet and spends most of their time in front of screens, they may want to start opening their lymph nodes too.

Make it a family affair to be healthy this fall/winter season. ❤️

How long does it take clear inflammation from the face/body??

The answer is solely dependent on you, your lifestyle, and how much effort you’re willing to put in

-are you opening your lymph nodes every day?
-are you drinking enough water?
-are you getting enough sleep?
-what is your nervous system like? are you constantly in fight or flight?
-are you moving your body to help push the fluid through?

Not to mention environmental factors, like seasonal allergies, medication’s, food intolerances…

If you have been suffering with inflammation, puffiness or dark circles for a long time, it is not going to disappear overnight, simply by opening up your lymph nodes and doing one face routine.

It could take months of consistent opening and flushing to see lasting results, which may also include changing some other things in your lifestyle (diet/exercise)

As a lymph drainage practitioner, I am only here to help assist your journey, not fix the problem. It will be the things you do every day at home that will make the biggest difference.❤️

Still going. 🫶🏼

Not everyday because my body said NO.

And when my body speaks, I LISTEN.

Do your best. That’s all you can ask of yourself.

Listening to your body is half the battle. Pushing it too hard, in ways you “think” are beneficial is not going to help you in the long run.

Be KIND to yourself and your body (and others)

Manual VS Brazilian lymphatic drainage

Is one right and the other wrong?
Which is better?

UNPOPULAR OPINION
I think BOTH have a place in a successful treatment plan!!

Which is why I have now COMBINED the 2 therapies PLUS massage into ONE AWESOME TREATMENT!

Why book 3 separate treatments, when you could have it all together!
💫relax the nervous system
💫open lymph nodes to prime the system
💫release fascial adhesions to increase lymphatic flow
💫work trigger points and pain areas in a way that doesn’t hurt or engage your fight/flight response, yet still gets the job done!

My SIGNATURE METHOD makes it possible to achieve all of this in ONE session instead of 3.

Each session is completely unique to your needs for that day.

Let go of what YOU THINK a treatment should look and feel like, and FOCUS ON RESULT!

What can I say? I’m multidimensional.🙏🏻🙃

I was raised in the 80s on gangster, rap, and country music

I trained for massage therapy in my 20s

I found my spiritual side in my 30s

And in my 40s, after 20+ years of massaging, I continue to evolve, and I think it’s time for my massage techniques to evolve too 🤔
