Holistic bodywork
Gentle, effective therapy that helps your body unwind, drain, and reset
This work blends fascia, lymph, and nervous system care to release tension, drain inflammation, and bring you back into ease.
Why combine fascia work with lymph work?
Because tight fascia can restrict your lymph flow, and poor lymph flow can keep fascia tight.
Fascial restrictions and lymphatic congestion often go hand in hand. When your fascia is tight, your lymph can’t drain well. And when your lymph isn’t flowing, your body holds onto inflammation and waste, sending a message to your brain to keep fascia tight.
That’s why I integrate CFT + MLD into every session—so your body can unwind AND clear out what it doesn’t need. It’s a game-changer.
Because your lymphatic and fascial systems impact everything, this work can support:
How to support your body pre & post-session
Before Your Session:
- Drink plenty of water to support lymphatic flow.
- Avoid caffeine or heavy meals right before.
- Give yourself time to slow down—this work is best received when you’re not rushing.
after Your Session:
- Stay hydrated—your body is clearing out waste.
- Move gently (walk, stretch) to keep things flowing.
- Some people feel energized, while others feel sleepy—listen to your body.
- Avoid alcohol or anything taxing on your system for a few hours.
Detox Reactions: What to Expect
Because this work helps your body release stored tension and drain waste, you might experience mild detox effects, including:
- Increased thirst and urination (fluid is moving).
- Fatigue or mild soreness (a sign your body is processing).
- Sinus drainage or extra mucus clearing.
- Temporary headache or emotional release (things moving out).
These reactions are normal and usually pass quickly. Staying hydrated, resting, and nourishing your body helps ease the process.

I wish words could adequately express how much Brittany has changed my life. I was diagnosed with a neurological condition in August 2023 that left me with crippling migraines that could last for weeks on end. Because my body cannot tolerate the traditional medicines offered by the doctors, I began searching for alternative therapies. The first experience I had with CFT was life changing. It is such a pleasant and relaxing process, I could feel the tension melt away from my body. In the following days I noticed my headaches becoming manageable and I could go days without a migraine. I went from being in bed to up and engaging with my family again. More recently, Brittany has been working with me to clear my lymphatics and I have been seeing even more pain relief, reduction of anxiety and depression, and an increase of energy. My family, who has been watching and supporting me in my healing journey have been amazed. My disabled husband has recently been seeing Brittany for his anxiety and tension headaches. She has also worked with three of my four children for various health issues. All have come away feeling greatly renewed. Brittany has become indispensable to our family and we feel so lucky to have her expertise in our healing journey.

How can i support my body Pre & post-treatment?
- Hydrate! Drink plenty of water with electrolytes (a pinch of sea salt, lemon, mineral drops, or coconut water) to support your body’s natural detoxification process.
- Prioritize Rest. Your body does its deepest healing during sleep.
- Support Detox Pathways. Help your body eliminate waste by ensuring you’re peeing, pooping, sweating, and breathing deeply.
- Take it Easy. If possible, avoid over-scheduling and allow time to relax after your session.
- Trust Your Body! Everyone responds differently to the work. Whether you feel immediate relief or more gradual changes, your body is working toward greater balance and ease.
What should i expect?
Your session is designed to be as relaxing and effective as possible. Here’s what you can expect before, during, and after your treatment:
Before Your Session
- We’ll discuss your history, concerns, goals, and any specific needs for the session.
- We’ll chat about the work—including the modalities I pull from and the body systems we’ll be working with.
During Your Session
- Gentle Touch. You’ll experience slow, light-touch techniques. The work may feel like gentle holds, slow stretches, or rhythmic movements.
- Deep Relaxation. Many clients enter a meditative state or fall asleep as their nervous system shifts into rest-and-repair mode.
- Subtle Sensations. These sensations signal shifts in the fascia, nervous system, and fluid flow. Some common ones include:
- Warmth or tingling–as circulation improves and energy moves through areas that were previously restricted.
- Wave-like motion–a sense of internal unwinding or rhythmic pulsing as the body releases tension.
- Lightness or a floating sensation–a deep sense of relaxation as the nervous system shifts into a parasympathetic state.
- Small twitches–an indication that restrictions are letting go and tissues are reorganizing.
- Softening or releasing–signaling the release of tension or a shift from stress to relaxation.
- Emotional shifts–some clients may feel a sense of relief, clarity, or even an unexpected emotional release as stored tension dissolves or stagnation begins to flow.
After Your Session
Wrapping Up: I’ll take a few moments to check in with you, answer any questions, and offer any insights from the session. If needed, I may provide simple self-care suggestions to help you extend the benefits of the work.
Immediate Effects: Many clients feel lighter, more relaxed, and experience improved mobility or mental clarity. Some may feel energized while others feel the need to rest. You may notice an increase in sensations as your body adjusts to the changes.
Ongoing Shifts: Changes may unfold over the next 24-48 hours. You might notice improvements in sleep, digestion, pain levels, or emotional well-being. Some clients experience a delayed release of tension, so pay attention to how your body feels in the days following.
Be Aware of Possible Detox Reactions. Since therapy stimulates the release of toxins, it’s possible to experience temporary detox symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Brain-fog
- Flu-like symptoms
- Skin eruptions
- Runny nose, increased urination or change in bowel movements
If you do experience detox symptoms, this is a sign your body is clearing out waste. Support your body with hydration and rest and you should feel so much better on the other side!
