💜I get this question all the time…. let’s talk lymph




🌿 Rebounder vs Weight Training vs Dry Brushing vs Vibration Plate

Should I do EVERYTHING?! 😮

Let’s make this fun, factual, and non-overwhelming — the Lymphatica way.

Every day you hear:
“You must rebound!”
“No, lift weights!”
“What about dry brushing?”
“Get a vibration plate!!”

And suddenly your brain goes:
“Do I need ALL FOUR to fix my lymph?!”

Short answer: NO.
Long answer: Each one supports your lymph in a different, beautiful way — like the four corners of a gentle healing home.

Let’s break it down with joy 👇💚

✨ FIRST — Your Lymph Has LAYERS

And each tool works on a different layer:

🔹 Dry Brushing → Surface lymph (just under the skin)
🔹 Rebounder → Full-body rhythmic lymph movement
🔹 Vibration Plate → Deep lymph + fascia stimulation
🔹 Weight Training → Muscle-pump driven lymph flow

You don’t need every tool.
You only need the one(s) that support your layer of stagnation.

🪮 1️⃣ Dry Brushing

Gentle, calming, surface-level support

What it does:
✨ Stimulates superficial lymph
✨ Softens the skin
🌸 Calms the nervous system
🕊️ Reduces minor swelling

Why it works:
Your lymph lives right under your skin — a feather-light brush wakes it up.

Best for:
✔ Sensitive bodies
✔ Lipedema
✔ Low-energy days
✔ Daily rituals

Avoid if:
✖ Skin is irritated
✖ Brushing too hard

Lymph score: ⭐⭐⭐ (A lovely add-on)

🟩 2️⃣ Rebounder (Mini Trampoline)

Joyful full-body lymph flow 💚

What it does:
✨ Pumps lymph with gravity shifts
✨ Boosts circulation
✨ Lifts mood
✨ Helps leg drainage

Why it works:
Upward bounce → lymph compresses → downward landing → lymph decompresses.

Best for:
✔ Leg swelling
✔ Morning lymph sluggishness
✔ Emotional heaviness
✔ Low-impact cardio

Avoid if:
✖ Severe spinal issues
✖ High inflammation flare

Lymph score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Queen of lymph movement!)

💪 3️⃣ Weight Training (Strength Work)

Hormone-friendly, metabolism-supporting, lymph-pumping

What it does:
💛 Muscle contractions pump lymph
🔥 Reduces inflammatory fat
🌿 Supports hormones
📉 Improves insulin
🧠 Boosts mood-long term

Why it works:
Every rep = a lymph massage from inside the muscle.

Best for:
✔ Women with hormonal imbalances
✔ Autoimmune warriors
✔ Long-term lymph health
✔ Strong metabolism

Avoid if:
✖ Overtraining (causes inflammation)

Lymph score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Deep, powerful support)

⚡ 4️⃣ Vibration Plate

Deep lymph + fascia activation with almost no effort

What it does:
⚡ Sends micro-vibrations through tissues
🦵 Helps heavy, tired legs
🌿 Releases fascia
🔥 Improves circulation
✨ Activates deep lymph

Why it works:
Vibration causes rapid muscle contractions → lymph vessels contract → drainage improves.

Best for:
✔ Those who can’t rebound
✔ Heavy legs
✔ Chronic swelling
✔ Pre-MLD sessions

Avoid if:
✖ Vertigo
✖ Joint replacements (doctor approval needed)

Lymph score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Amazing for deep stagnation)

🌈 SO… DO YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING?

Absolutely not, my angel.
You only need what works for YOUR body.

Choose your “lymph personality” 👇

🩵 THE SOFT GIRL

You like gentleness, warmth, and slow healing
→ Dry brushing + deep breathing

💚 THE ENERGIZER

You want fun, joy, and movement
→ Rebounder

🧡 THE MUSCLE QUEEN

You want long-term inflammation control + tone
→ Weight training

💙 THE EFFICIENT MINIMALIST

You want results with minimal effort
→ Vibration plate

🩷 THE HYBRID

You mix 2–3 tools depending on the day
→ Dry brushing + vibration plate + strength

🌸 THE PERFECT SIMPLE ROUTINE:

✔ 30 seconds dry brushing
✔ 5 minutes rebounder OR vibration plate
✔ Strength training 2–3x per week
✔ Deep breathing daily

Done. That’s it.
Your lymph will absolutely LOVE you.

This is a beautiful time to pause.

A pause from the rush.
A pause from the pressure.
A pause from the constant doing.

Just space to breathe… to reflect… to notice the good that’s been holding you up even on the long days. Wishing you a peaceful, nourishing Thanksgiving

🌿 Leisure 𐃢𐃡






So many of us women are out here juggling family, work, appointments, meals, emotions, deadlines… and still wondering why we feel guilty for wanting a moment to simply breathe. The truth is, as adults, we don’t always remember how to enjoy healthy things. Let alone even how to recognize what healthy self-care looks like anymore. And that’s not a failure.
That’s life happening at full speed.

But here’s the shift:
Self-care doesn’t have to be perfect or consistent or expensive to be real. It’s a mindset and a willingness to slow down, to exhale fully, to let yourself be “selfish” in ways that keep your nervous system from waving a 🏳️.

Leisure counts.
Joy counts.
Stillness counts.
That five-minute walk counts.
That moment you sit in your car before going inside? Yep, that counts too.

This is the only body we get. And it deserves
moments that refill, not drain.
So here’s your reminder: Joy is one of the most underrated medicines for a woman who’s been carrying everything. Let it in. Even in small doses. And stop beating yourself up for being human in a busy world.

You deserve care… even the kind that looks like doing nothing for a minute.

Spray tanning is a small part of the work we offer here at Bliss Bodyworks Day Spa, but it is probably one of the most instantly rewarding services. All around we hold space for people and I love that!

I enjoyed these two sessions… Just beautiful 💕

Box breathing, also referred to as square breathing, is a deep breathing technique that can help you slow down your breathing. It works by distracting your mind as you count to four, calming your nervous system, and decreasing stress in your body
