Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized form of massage therapy that targets the lymphatic system, employing gentle, rhythmic strokes and movements to stimulate the natural flow of lymph fluid. This delicate, hands-on technique involves applying pressure to certain points on the body, focusing on the direction of lymphatic pathways and regions containing lymph nodes. 

By promoting the circulation of lymph fluid, MLD helps the body drain excess fluids, detoxify, and efficiently filter out toxins and harmful substances, ultimately supporting the immune system in its defense against pathogens.

When should a client try MLD?

1. Chronic pain: MLD can help reduce chronic pain by improving lymphatic flow and reducing inflammation.

2. Stress: MLD can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can have a positive impact on overall health and well-being.

3. Digestive issues: MLD can help with digestive issues such as constipation and bloating by promoting lymphatic flow and improving circulation.

4. Autoimmune disorders: Chronic Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, lupus, vasculitis, just to name a few: MLD can dramatically decrease chronic symptoms of these conditions and reduce frequency of flare-ups.

5. Skin health: MLD can help improve skin health by promoting lymphatic flow and reducing inflammation.

6. Post-surgery or injury recovery: MLD can help with the healing process after surgery or injury by reducing swelling and promoting lymphatic flow.

7. Lymphedema: Individuals with lymphedema can benefit from MLD as it can help reduce swelling and improve lymphatic flow.

Windgate Therapy

Windgate therapy is recommended for clients with quick or racing thoughts, anxiety, scattered behavior patterns, nervous energy, insomnia, headaches and pain. Windgate therapy is an amazing ancient method that assists in balancing mental states, emotional well-being and physical vitality. Pulses are taken at the Aorta, Femoral and Brachial arteries as well as at secondary windgate pulses throughout the body to determine where there are blockages and imbalances to be cleared. Pressure is applied to these areas to reset the passageways so that they can operate more efficiently. Divine Spark combines Reiki with Windgate Therapy to ensure a steady energy flow throughout the whole body. Relax and find your balance with windgate therapy.

1. Reduces anxiety by releasing excess windy energy stuck in the body.

2. Improves energy levels by clearing energy blockages and easing the flow of energy to move more efficiently.

3. Overall chakra and energy balancing by incorporating Reiki during the session.

Reiki Therapy

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that taps into the universal life force energy to promote balance and harmony within the physical, emotional, and spiritual body. Karuna Reiki, a more recent development, is an advanced form of Reiki that embodies compassionate action. Both modalities offer profound benefits, including:

1. Deep Relaxation: By activating the body's relaxation response, Reiki encourage a state of deep calm and tranquility.

2. Energy Balancing: The practitioner channels energy into your body, helping to regulate and balance your energy levels, leading to improved overall well-being.

3. Emotional and Spiritual Healing: As a holistic healing practice, Reiki facilitates emotional release and promote a deeper connection to one's spiritual self.
