Have you ever felt curious about how to better support your body’s natural detoxification process? If the thought of enhancing your overall wellness intrigues you, you're not alone. Many are now discovering the remarkable benefits of manual lymphatic drainage, an often-overlooked wellness modality that has taken the wellness community by storm.
At Brownstone, we’ve noticed an amazing response since we introduced Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to our offerings about a month ago. This service is not just for those managing lymphedema; it’s a fantastic addition to anyone’s wellness routine. Our certified therapists, Adrienne and Cheri—both MLD-C certified—are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care. They understand the intricacies of the lymphatic system, which plays a vital role in fueling your immune response and maintaining overall balance in your body.
So, let’s dive a little deeper into what makes the lymphatic system so powerful. Unlike the circulatory system, which has a pump (the heart), the lymphatic system largely relies on movement—think of it as a gentle wave that needs your support to function optimally. By incorporating regular MLD sessions into your self-care routine, you can help ensure that this lesser-known yet crucial body system is functioning at its best.
Not only does manual lymphatic drainage aid in reducing swelling caused by fluid retention, but it also promotes detoxification and can enhance energy levels. After an MLD session, many individuals report feeling lighter, rejuvenated, and ready to take on whatever life throws their way. Now, you might be wondering about the specifics—how does it all work? Adrienne and Cheri utilize gentle strokes and rhythmic kneading techniques to stimulate lymph flow, promoting the movement of lymphatic fluid through your body. The result? A harmonious dance of restoration that promotes healing and wellness.
But that’s not all—we’re thrilled to announce that Adrienne has recently expanded her skill set by completing continuing education in Neurolymphatic Drainage. This innovative approach targets the head and brain glymphatics, offering an opportunity to support your brain health in ways you may have never considered. Whether you choose to incorporate this technique into a regular lymph session or opt for a standalone session, the benefits are numerous. From enhancing cognitive function to providing a soothing release for stress and tension, Neurolymphatic Drainage is a unique addition that we’re excited to share with you.
As you embark on your wellness journey, consider the incredible potential that lies within your lymphatic system. At Brownstone, we invite you to be part of this movement toward greater health and vitality. With our personalized approach and commitment to your well-being, we are here to ensure your experience is as beneficial and fulfilling as possible.
Why wait to embrace the wellness you deserve? Join us today for a manual lymphatic drainage session and explore the myriad of benefits that come along with it. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you for it!

Fun fact about the glymphatic system:
Research from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) found that this waste clearance system of the brain works best when people sleep on their side, particularly the right side, says study coauthor Maiken Nedergaard, a professor of neuroscience and neurology at URMC, who discovered the brain's cleaning system.
