Gentle Peach

"I feel so at peace here." "It's so calm and warm!" "I feel brand new!" "That's just what I needed." "Oh my goodness! How did you know I needed that?" "Wow, that feels so different!"

I have been intentional about more than the decor, safe space, and education. I have been deliberate in reminding you of your value and ability to heal and let go. I have been purposeful in empowering you with steps to maintain your changes and encouraging you to adopt new routines. It all starts with you.

Take a nice breath 🫶

Thank you for trusting me to join your healing journey!

Warmly,
Ruth McDonald LMT, MLD-C, CLT

I'm back with renewed energy and a deeper appreciation for the power of intention! I took an essential pause and recognized precious moments like this one.
Like many of you, I was busy with doctor's visits, navigating family needs and wants, medical questions, and uncertainty. My cup needed a refill and reflection. I took in every summer drop slowly. I filled my cup with sunshine, family, friends, hugs, birthdays, coffee meet-ups, games, kayaking, walking, spa escapes, sand, mountains, ocean views, binging TV with my crew, water play, and delicious food.
In the last week, I have been blessed by connections, validated in my purpose, and truly held the weight of my responsibility in serving others in their healing. I'm so ready and excited to reconnect and rejoin healing journeys!
Here's to self-care, healing, and every drop of life that fills our cups!

Happy Mother's Day!
I hope all of the moms received a bit of love today. I'm happy to announce our winner, Dale Kelly Jones! I couldn't stop there. Dale helped in my second raffle pull from nominations, and I am delighted to announce our second winner, Ale Bruno!

I'm one of the lucky people born near a holiday. (Read that as you will😊) Valentine's Day was a day that I got to see if the boy I crushed on thought of me, or show my loved ones affection via chocolates, baked goods, candies, and gifts, or set a special dinner aside for my husband and I.

I want to remind you, as lovingly as my loving friend did, (Thank you, Love!) to take a moment to care for and honor yourself as compassionately as you do for others.

Self hugs, soft clothes, warm showers, favorite excercise, music, lotion, perfume, tea, coffee, friends, family.. take time to enjoy and love you a little 💕

Happy Valentine's day

Life sometimes is lifeING! I know I'm not alone in a new place, figuring out changes. Thanking my lovely clients and friends for their grace, compassion, and sweet messages and calls while we readjust to the new normal. I am grateful. I am breathing.

As I sit here, the tree lights flickering in the background, I am overwhelmed with a profound appreciation. I could not miss the opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to each of you who has played a vital role in uplifting my business. Your kindness, encouragement, referrals, and patronage have meant so much to me.
To those who generously referred others to my services, you are the architects of a supportive network and safe spaces to work. Your trust and belief in what I offer are the building blocks of this venture, but more than that, they validate my purpose, and I am truly grateful for your heartfelt endorsements.
To those who have taken the time to click that 'like' button or share my page, you've contributed to the warm embrace that surrounds my work. Your actions have helped me connect with people who benefit from my work.
To those who know my heart's intention in healing and have mentioned my name in conversations, you've added a personal touch beyond mere business transactions. Your words have created an atmosphere of trust and reliability.
Finally, I am profoundly honored to those who have entrusted my hands with their healing journey. It's been a privilege to witness your body healing, see your discomfort melt away, and to see you find solace in moments of rest. Your trust in my hands is a responsibility I hold dear. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your healing process.
I want you to know that your support in every way has been more than just a boost for my business—it has confirmed my path and uplifted my spirit. Your encouragement has been a beautiful gift, and I am deeply touched by the care and attention you've extended.
You have each filled me with hope, dreaming of who I will have the privilege of helping in the next year as I expand into oncology. As I continue on this journey, I carry with me the warmth of your support, the gentleness of your gestures, and the peace that comes from knowing I have such wonderful individuals standing by my side.

Love,
Ruth

Did you know that caring for your lymphatic system before and after surgery can make a significant difference in your recovery? 💚🦽

🌊 Fluid Exchange: Our body relies on a constant flow of fluids to transport essential nutrients, eliminate waste, and maintain electrolyte balance. MLD facilitates this exchange, supporting your body's natural healing processes.

🤕 Combat Edema: Edema, or the accumulation of fluid in tissues, can occur due to inflammation, trauma, blockages, or poor circulation. MLD is a gentle technique that helps reduce edema, easing discomfort and promoting a smoother recovery.

✨ Pre-Surgery Prep: Incorporating MLD before surgery sets the stage for optimal fluid dynamics. By enhancing lymphatic circulation, you're giving your body a head start in managing postoperative swelling and promoting a more comfortable healing journey.

🔄 Post-Surgery Recovery: After surgery, MLD continues to be a game-changer. It aids in flushing out excess fluids, reduces swelling, and supports the body's natural detoxification processes. This can contribute to a speedier recovery, defense from fibrosis, and an improved overall well-being

💖 Why Choose MLD? Beyond its physical benefits, MLD provides a holistic approach to recovery. It's a gentle, caring touch that promotes relaxation and helps alleviate stress, fostering a positive mindset during the healing process.

Remember, your well-being is our priority! If you're considering surgery or liposuction, consider incorporating Manual Lymphatic Drainage from a your recovery plan. Your body will thank you for the extra support on its journey to wellness. 🌈✨

*Physician's authorization may be required in some situations and is mandatory for cancer patients. Please message to learn more.

The Lymphatic System plays a crucial role in maintaining our health by filtering toxins and metabolic waste and supporting our immune system.

(Even if you can't see me, prioritize the top 3!)

1️⃣ Stay Hydrated: Water intake keeps the lymph moving smoothly.
2️⃣ Move Your Body: Exercise promotes lymphatic circulation.
3️⃣ Nourish with Whole Foods: A diet rich in fruits and veggies supports lymph function.
4️⃣ Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Gentle massage techniques to aid lymph flow. 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

✨ Restoring the Flow: Anesthesia can sometimes create a bit of a traffic jam in our body's natural pathways. MLD is a gentle nudge helping your lymphatic system regain its rhythm.
🌿 Bye-bye swelling: Post-anesthesia puffiness? MLD massages away excess fluids, reducing swelling and leaving you feeling lighter and more comfortable.
🦸‍♀️ Supporting Your Immune Superpower: Your immune system deserves all the love and support, especially during recovery. MLD assists in removing toxins and metabolic waste, giving your immune system the boost it needs!
🌈 Scar Healing, Made Softer: Surgery and anesthesia leave their marks, and that's okay! MLD contributes to the healing process, promoting healthy circulation and helping scars fade away.
