Adverse lifestyle choices, stress, toxins, pathogens, pregnancy, surgeries and medications compromise the immune system.
A blocked lymphatic system causes many problems.
The lymphatic system plays an important role of keeping the immune system functioning.
A sluggish lymphatic system can lead to major imbalance and a diseased state.
Lymph drainage massages
During a manual lymph drainage massage, I gently massage you from your feet to your head. This is because your lymphatic system runs throughout your body. The massage usually starts with the main lymph nodes.
With a lymph drainage massage, you are working the fluid layer that removes excess stagnant toxins in your tissues.
Signs that your lymph may not be functioning optimally:
• Rings get tight on fingers
• Soreness and/or stiffness in the morning on rising
• Feeling tired
• Bloating / Holding on to water
• Itchy skin
• Weight gain and extra belly fat
• Swollen glands
• Low immunity
• Brain fog
• Breast swelling or soreness with each cycle
• Dry skin
• Mild rash or acne
• Hypersensitivity
• Mild headaches
• Elevated histamine and irritation due to common environmental allergens
• Occasional constipation, diarrhea, and/or mucus in the stool
Benefits of lymph massage:
- Improve Digestion
- Reduce bloating

- Circulate virus fighting white blood cells
- Remove excess built up toxins from your tissues
- Boost your Immune system

Testimonials
I was suffering with severe pain and swelling of my left ankle for more than a year. Several visits to doctors, specialists, MRI scans, sonars and X-rays and thousands of rands later no one had a solution. After only one lymphatic drainage massage and ozone treatment with Gillian, to my surprise, there was an immediate improvement. After the 3 rd treatment I could walk normally and the swelling was gone . My last treatment was more than a month ago and no swelling, no pain and no medication. I recommend this treatment. It sure changed my life.
Sylvia
The most incredible massages I have ever had. I’ve been for four already over the last two months. The only way one can describe Gillian’s lymph drainage massages is that she tunes in to your body and senses what it needs.
Not only relaxing, the times with Gillian extend into deeply meaningful explorations of where one is at with one’s life.
Every session with Gillian is a truly remarkable and enriching experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ingrid
Gillian is outstanding. Her knowledge and guidance shine through, and she has the gift of massage and healing. I am a massage therapist myself, and have never experienced a better massage and healing experience. I will visit her every time I come to Knysna, and highly recommend her.
Saskia
I’ve been seeing Gillian regularly for quite some time, and every visit reminds me why she is such a blessing in my life. Living with fibromyalgia and ankylosing spondylitis, flare‑ups can hit hard and without warning. Whenever they do, Gillian is the person I trust to help me through them.
Today was no different. I arrived in pain, stiff, and exhausted — and left feeling lighter, looser, and genuinely relieved. Gillian has an incredible ability to read the body and understand exactly what it needs.
