Feeling energized and relaxing at the same time through lymphatic drainage massage
I contacted Jolinda for a relaxing Swedish massage and when we met, and discussed my wishes and health problems, she suggested to do a lymphatic drainage massage. I had never heard from it before and how she described it and explained the technique, I thought to give it a try, as this was a very suitable technique, mainly for my blood circulation and swollen legs. I did not expect it to be this relaxing as well. I felt energized and relaxed at the same time after the sessions.
