Lymph Flow Workshop with Venous Return

  • Five Point Holistic Health 2866 North Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL, 60618 United States (map)

Learn lymph flow with Lorna founder of Venous Return Healing

Lymph Flow is a self healing class that offers an inclusive and supportive environment to get to know your lymphatic system.  Learn self lymphatic drainage using hands on techniques, dry brushing, gua sha, as well as breathwork and somatic embodiment. The techniques that you’ll take with you will help empower your lymphatic system’s ability to increase vitality, heal your nervous system and bring your body closer to the highest version of itself.

I advise participants to arrive for class in that they would feel comfortable wearing for a hot yoga class.  Access to elbow, knee  and arm pit, hip crease and abdominals is helpful, but not required, as all components to the class are optional.

Contraindications:

  • deep vein thrombosis

  • current high blood pressure

  • active cancer/chemotherapy

  • lymphoma, diagnosed lymphedema

  • pitting edema

  • acute postpartum

  • onset cold, fever, flu like symptoms

Lorna (she/her/hers) is a trauma informed licensed massage therapist, with specialities that include manual lymphatic drainage as integrative therapy.  Lorna’s practice philosophy recognizes that a person’s physical, mental, emotional and psychological history is manifested through the body, and aims to (re)align a healthy mind-body connection with the power of informed, empathetic and intuitive touch. Because the human body is capable of self-healing, Lorna creates a somatic healing experience that is collaborative, and empowers her clients to understand their self-healing potential to serve our greater goals and needs.
