How Lymphatic Drainage Can Benefit Your Body

When you think of “massage,” what comes to mind? Maybe warm towels, a dark room, and tranquil music. Maybe it’s a well-deserved day of self care and relaxation. There are two problems with that last sentence: “deserved” and “day.” A massage can certainly be a treat, but it goes so much deeper than that, and

I Don’t Like The Word…Massage

There’s a word I’ve never felt fully comfortable with: massage. While it’s widely understood and used to describe what I do, it doesn’t quite capture the depth or intention behind my work. For many, the word “massage” brings to mind relaxation, pampering, or a surface-level approach to wellness. But that’s not what I’m here for.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tanya is a true healer! I came to her after a bad concussion that left me riddled with migraines and secondary pain from my migraines (tight neck, TMJ pain, ect). She’s truly amazing at managing chronic pain. She’s extremely compassionate and offers incredible services that are life changing. If you experience regular pain, this is a great way to manage it and have an amazing person on your team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fellow lap swimmer recommended Tanya to me when I was having bad hip/ lower back pain about 15 years ago. What I thought was arthritis was addressable with bodywork. Started to train and compete  in sprint Tri’s for years after. I still go back 1x/month for a tune up/ reset. Today, my biggest problem is actually sitting at desk all day. And Tanya  helps with that too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first went to Tanya about 25 years ago, with a muscle spasm in my back, created during a car accident in which a driver ran a red arrow and hit our car, hard, 3 times. I was only being given muscle relaxer pills by my primary, and it was not going away, nor was it being helped.   Tanya's myofascial work gave immediate relief, allowing me to move normally for the first time in 2 years.  I continued seeing her regularly, to integrate everything that was going on in my life, issues mental, emotional & physical. I especially benefited from cranial sacral work.  As I grew older, and experienced arthritis and the need for knee replacements, lymphatic work really helped my mobility and continued sense of well being.  Tanya really knows what she is doing, this is not some day spa kind of thing!
