April Updates: New Courses & Offerings

As activity picks up this time of year, we’re not only talking about preparing your body — we’re also offering new ways to support it.

Here’s what’s new and starting soon:

New Offering: Manual Lymphatic Drainage

We’re excited to introduce Manual Lymphatic Drainage with Jessica Day, LMT.

This gentle, specialized treatment supports your body’s natural lymphatic system — helping reduce swelling, support recovery, and promote overall circulation and healing. It can be especially helpful after surgery, during times of inflammation, or when your system feels “stuck.”

Jessica brings a thoughtful, whole-person approach to her work, combining clinical understanding with a calming, supportive presence.
